Fortunately, there is a visible animated cue before they blow up, and the proper way to deal with them even while they have zero HP is to hit them once, and immediately jump back.

* LevelGrinding: In the original, this can be done in two ways as the HP and Attack (Psypher) levels are increased by separate gauges:
** As mentioned in BoringButPractical, equipping the Spirit Stone, casting Phozon Release, and re-absorbing all released Phozons allow the player to quickly increase their Psypher Levels with a full Psypher gauge. The bright side is that it can be done even if there are no enemies.
** Hoarding recipe materials allows the player to spend a lot of time in the Pooka restaurants, eating the high-EXP foods for increasing their maximum HP. It also helps that there are shopkeepers just outside the restaurant (or that you can teleport between the Pooka Village and your home base in some of the chapters) that sell some of the rarest ingredients - You can essentially go back and forth between buying stuff and eating stuff as you grind for HP levels. If the Yogurt is used in dungeons, this can also be done after combat.

** The Phozon Release skill does not offer anything in combat (either offensively or defensively) other than releasing a new batch Phozons. If the player has a full Psypher gauge, they can simply spam this skill and re-absorb the released Phozons for some Psypher LevelGrinding. However, this cannot be perfectly abused as the skill requires a full Psypher gauge per cast and that re-absorbing would only restore up to 60% of the gauge, which means that the gauge will eventually deplete and players cannot indefinitely spam this in one area. Phozon Release can also be used as a substitute for the Rosemile plant and offers a way to grow the planted seeds should the area be drained from Phozons.
