Notes
Olimar's Notes
"This bulborb species boasts a garish color pattern, with deep orange body and black spots. The orange bulborb's yellow, bloodshot eyes make it clear that this grub-dog is excessively edgy and high-strung, making it much easier to wake from deep sleep than other species in the bulborb family."
Louie's Notes
"This bulborb's meaty flanks make for salaciously savory steaks that shouldn't be missed."
Nintendo Player's Guide
"One of the more intimidating non-boss enemies, and stronger than the Red Bulborbs, the beast can eat several Pikmin at once. If you can't attack it from behind, petrify it with an Ultra-Bitter Spray."
Pikmin 3 Prima Guide
"Orange Bulborbs are similar to standard Bulborbs, but they’re considerably tougher. These creatures tend to sleep in tight spaces, making it difficult to flank an Orange Bulborb without it noticing.
Whenever possible, use a Bomb Rock to blast an Orange Bulborb before it has a chance to attack. When that’s not an option, draw an Orange Bulborb into the open, then flank the creature and attack it with a very large squad of Pikmin. "
Battle Strategy
Pikmin 2
If a large group of Purple Pikmin is available, simply rain them down on the Orange Bulborb's back. Even with the Bulborb's head start, the Purples will have a good chance of stunning it with serious damage, and usually defeating it without any losses.
Orange Bulborbs are tricky without Purples. It is never wise to attack a large grub-dog from the front since they will almost surely bite back, and since the Orange Bulborb will wake up before it can be attacked, it tends to be highly troublesome. If it is approached from the back, quickly run and rain Pikmin on it. It can then be defeated like any other Bulborb. If there is no choice but to approach it from the front, dismiss the Pikmin (in a safe place) and use a captain to wake it up. Let the Bulborb chase him until he runs out of its range. When it falls back to sleep, return to the creatures back and release an attack. Orange Bulborbs also have a slight delay in between their "yawning" sequence and waking up again, so use this opportunity to pummel it with Pikmin.
Pikmin 3
In Pikmin 3, Orange Bulborbs are even more difficult to take down, due to the lack of Purple Pikmin in Story Mode. Fortunately, there is a method to defeating them that wasn't present in Pikmin 2: Bomb Rocks. Simply throw a single Bomb Rock at the creature, and if successful, the Grub-Dog won't stand a chance.
If Bomb Rocks aren't an option, combating this formidable foe can be a tricky and time-consuming task. The safest way to defeat one without Bomb Rocks is to aim at the Bulborb's eyes, making it flinch. This ensures no deaths, just as long as no Pikmin miss the intended target.
