The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature | The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature Field Guide}}) is an in-game list of all the [[Enemy|enemies]] and [[plant]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that the player has come in contact with throughout their exploration. The player can access the [[Menu/Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard|Piklopedia's menu]] by pressing {{button|gc|l|wii|padl|switch|padl}} when on the [[Menu/Area selection|area selection menu]]. | ||
This catalog also keeps track of how many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have been lost to each enemy, how many of said enemy the player has defeated so far, and how many [[Poko]]s the enemy is worth. For fields that cannot be counted, four dashes appear instead. On top of that, it also contains [[#Notes|notes]] written down by Olimar and Louie. Selecting the slot of a creature that has not been seen yet will just produce static on the main "screen", and their grid slots will show their Piklopedia number, instead of their icon. | This catalog also keeps track of how many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have been lost to each enemy, how many of said enemy the player has defeated so far, and how many [[Poko]]s the enemy is worth.

[[Pikpik carrot]]s can be thrown at enemies to see their reaction, although the throws cannot be directly aimed – not even with the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|''New Play Control!'' remake]]'s enhanced cursor – and are loosely based on the direction the [[camera]] is facing. [[Ultra-bitter spray]]s can also be used on the non-plant creatures by pressing {{button|gc|z|wii|1}}; this does not affect the in-game spray count, and can be used before those sprays are even discovered. | [[Pikpik carrot]]s can be thrown at enemies to see their reaction, although the throws cannot be directly aimed – not even with the [[New Play Control!

Both [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]] write some notes about every entry in the Piklopedia. These notes are merely for fun and for world-building, and rarely contain any information useful for gameplay. Only the notes of unlocked entries can be seen. The comments written by both return in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] of {{p3d}}, almost verbatim. | Both [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]] write some notes about every entry in the Piklopedia.
