The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature Field Guide}}) 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]]. | The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature Field Guide}}) is a field guide in {{p4}}.

In ''Pikmin 4'', the player can use a variety of other items as well, such as [[bomb rocks]] 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. | ||
The Piklopedia can be unlocked by rescuing the castaway [[Dalmo]]. The game will still keep track of entry encounters before it is unlocked, but after it is unlocked, the game will give notifications to the right side of the [[camera|screen]]. Most enemies are counted as discovered when the player walks near them. | The Piklopedia can be unlocked by rescuing the castaway [[Dalmo]].

Unlike the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia in ''Pikmin 2'']], the area does not change theme at all, being modeled after the [[Rescue Command Post]] from which it is accessed.

After rescuing [[Louie]], his notes become available. Like Olimar's, any returning enemies who already have notes in previous games are simply reused, with the majority of his notes being cooking recipes (some exceptions to this include the Pikmin, the Onion and the space dogs). For these creatures, his notes do not contain any information on how to cook the species and are much more apt and shorter, similarly to when he writes about a treasure that isn't edible in the [[Treasure Catalog]]. | After rescuing [[Louie]], his notes become available.
