Attack Before Being Noticed
We recommend attacking the Bulborb with all of your Pikmin so you can deal as much damage as possible in a short amount of time. You can also use Oatchi's Rush or the Charging Horn to launch an all out attack on the Bulborb.
Red Pikmin are recommended as they inflict higher damage when fighting. You can also freeze the Bulborb using Ice Pikmin.
Fight with Pikmin Riding Oatchi
Oatchi can move quickly. Attack the Bulborb while your Pikmin is riding him to decrease the chances of having them eaten.
It's Dangerous to Attack From the Front
Bulborbs can notice and eat your Pikmin if you attack head on. It's ideal to wait for an opening or attack it from behind to avoid losing Pikmin.
Call Back Pikmin Before They are Shaken Off
The Bulborb spins on the spot and shakes off any Pikmin on it. Call back your Pikmin before this shake and wait for an opportunity to attack.

 Dalmo's Log |
It has wide, googly eyes on protruding stalks, a mouth meant to swallow prey in one large gulp, and powerful, red and white polka-dotted hindquarters. It's fierce, and yet it's somehow quite endearing. Be wary of getting lured in by its disarming mien! | ||
 Olimar's Log |
This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the Grub-Dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most Grub-Dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the Spotty Bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the basic Bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification. |

 Louie's Log |
Plump specimens are best spit-roasted whole, stuffed with a lime and a slab of bacon. Baste frequently to ensure a magnificently moist haunch. | ||
