Bulborb: Difference between revisions

Swarm it with a large group of 50 or so Pikmin, preferably [[Red Pikmin|reds]] for their high attack power, and it'll die. If you have a smaller group with you, repeatedly throw Pikmin onto the Bulborb's back and retreat if it starts charging at you. When it goes back to sleep, toss more Pikmin on its back. Note that a glitch exists when the Bulborb moves in to attack that renders it invincible. Unless it's at very low health, expect some Pikmin to be devoured. With a large enough Pikmin group this shouldn't be a problem, though. If you wish to use [[bomb-rock]]s against it, the Bulborb will die with two blasts.

Rather than swarming it, try continuously tossing Pikmin onto its back, even if some are shaken off. A few purple Pikmin can cause serious damage, especially if they stun the Bulborb. Should you accidentally awaken it before you begin your attack, run away until it turns around, then make a pass at it.
