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 carrots]] 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 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 a [[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]]. After it is unlocked, the game will begin to keep track of entry encounters during gameplay.

== Usable items ==
There are several items to view enemy behavior with. These include:
* [[Pikpik carrots]]
* [[Bomb rocks]]
* [[Ice blast]]s
* Lightning strikes

== Area ==
Unlike the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia in ''Pikmin 2'']], the area does not change at all, being modeled after the [[Rescue Command Post]] from which it is accessed. The area is an oval shape with a flat grassy arena and a slope into a deeper portion.

When observing an aquatic enemy (such as the [[Wolpole]]), the latter's section will instead be flooded with water. This water can be frozen with either an [[ice blast]] or 100 [[Ice Pikmin]].

== Pikmin fighting ==
For the Pikmin's entries in the Piklopedia, 5 of the specific type will be seen fighting an enemy (or multiple of the same species) they are resistant to, to demonstrate their abilities. Unless the player engages, the enemy will never actually die from the Pikmin attacking it (nor can they be whistled away before the creature is defeated, similar to wild Pikmin). If the enemy they attack has yet to be discovered and added to the Piklopedia, they will not appear and the 5 Pikmin will stand idle and cannot be interacted with at all when engaged.

Here is a list of each type's designated enemy:
* [[Red Pikmin]] will fight a [[Dwarf Bulborb]].
* [[Blue Pikmin]] will fight 3 [[Wolpole]]s.
* [[Ice Pikmin]] will fight a [[Snowy Blowhog]].

== Notes ==
The notes in this version of the Piklopedia are written by Dalmo. His manor of describing entries resembles the [[Hey! Pikmin logs#Creature Log|Creature Log]] from {{hp}}, as he mixes unbiased scientific analysis (akin to the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia from ''Pikmin 2'']]) with anecdotal or personal opinions. Similarly, the family and scientific name of each entry are classified separately from the notes themselves.

Additional notes from [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]] can be unlocked through story progression.

== Unlocking ==
To add a creature to the Piklopedia, [[Pikmin 4 player character|the player's character]] or [[Oatchi]] must simply be within a close enough range to the creature, typically the distance they are able to throw their Pikmin. If one of the player's Pikmin (this does not include wild Pikmin) is able to attack the creature without the player being near it, it will also count as a discovery. There are some exceptions to this rule [[#Entries|detailed above]].

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. If the player rewinds time, they will lose any and all discoveries made within the reversed period.
