The '''Piklopedia''' | The '''Piklopedia''' is a field guide in {{p4}}. It is an in-game collection of all of the [[Enemy|enemies]] that the player has beaten so far, as well as encountered members of the [[Pikmin family]], [[pellet weed family]], and [[candypop family]]. | ||
Like the ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' version of the Piklopedia, the subjects can be seen live rather than in pre-recorded videos, and [[pikpik carrot|Pikpik Carrot]]s can be thrown at enemies to see their reactions. In ''Pikmin 4'', the player can use a variety of other items as well, such as [[bomb rock|Bomb Rock]]s and Lightning Strikes. This also means [[Enemy|enemies]] can now be defeated within the Piklopedia, a feat impossible in the previous versions. New to this version is also the ability to engage subjects with a squad of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[Oatchi]]. This allows the player to better study the attack patterns of especially troublesome enemies without the risk of suffering any permanent Pikmin losses. | Like the ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' version of the Piklopedia, the subjects can be seen live rather than in pre-recorded videos, and [[pikpik carrot|Pikpik Carrot]]s can be thrown at enemies to see their reactions.

When observing an aquatic enemy (such as the [[Wolpole]]), the latter's section will instead be flooded with water, and when observing the [[Bogswallow]] and [[Muckerskate]] the section will have [[mud]]. This section can be frozen with either an [[Ice Blast]] or 100 [[Ice Pikmin]]. Other features, such as treasures for the Breadbugs or Dweevils to pick up, may also be present. When observing the [[Man-at-Legs]], [[breakable pot]]s and [[dirt wall]]s will be present to serve as protection. | When observing an aquatic enemy (such as the [[Wolpole]]), the latter's section will instead be flooded with water, and when observing the [[Bogswallow]] and [[Muckerskate]] the section will have [[mud]].

The game will keep track of these "new creature discoveries" without notifying the player, until Dalmo has been rescued and the Piklopedia itself is unlocked. Then, whenever a new creature is found, the game will have a small pop-up on the right side to notify the player.

* Uniquely, the [[Groovy Long Legs]] and [[Ancient Sirehound]] are only available at night, despite not being creatures seen in [[Night expedition]]s.
