The Trackonator is an item in Pikmin 4, which follows enemies and then explodes. They can be purchased from Russ or found in the Mystery Capsule's roulette wheel during Dandori Battles. A Trackonator will start detonating as soon as it lands on solid ground and can hone in on an enemy before it explodes. It cannot hone in on Pikmin outside of Dandori Battles. If a Trackonator is thrown into a Candypop Bud, or if an enemy trying to eat it was interrupted, it will become inactive and not hone in on any other enemies. In this state it is able to be picked up by Pikmin and the Rescue Officer.

Notes

“A bomb that always tracks its prey and never loses it. In the wild, I'd much rather be the chaser than the chasee.”

Pack description

“A tracking bomb that won't let its target or prey get away. Creatures rarely escape this bomb, even if they run around.”

Getting free prototype

“This bomb can automatically track and chase its target! Perfect for use on particularly fast creatures.”
