Bomb rocks are explosive rocks in the Pikmin games. In Pikmin 1, they can be carried by Yellow Pikmin, where their main purpose is to destroy rock walls. They can also be used to defeat enemies, and are particularly useful for doing so with bosses. When an enemy eats a Pikmin holding a bomb rock, it explodes inside the enemy, harming it.
In Pikmin 2, they are much larger and cannot be carried by Yellow Pikmin, but can be set off by attacking them. Certain enemies, such as the Emperor Bulblax, can be coaxed into swallowing them, which will stun the beast and deal considerable damage. They are also produced by Careening Dirigibugs. Volatile Dweevils carry bomb rocks on their backs, presumably for protection, even though they themselves are killed in the blast. Bomb rocks can even be petrified to delay their detonation.
In Pikmin 3, all Pikmin types can carry bomb rocks. Aside from that, they act just as they did in Pikmin 1.
In Pikmin Adventure
In Pikmin Adventure, both the small and large sizes of bomb rocks appear. Small bomb rocks can be thrown at enemies and are found in piles of three which add to the bomb rock counter. The large ones appear as hazards and are the same as they are in Pikmin 2.
In Pikmin Search
In Pikmin Search, bomb rocks can be carried by Brown Pikmin. Their uses and purpose are pretty much like that of the first game, except with Brown Pikmin, not Yellow Pikmin.
