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]].
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]].


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

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, 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.

Exclusively in the [[Empress Bulblax]]'s entry, two brick walls will be present so that the Empress has flat surfaces to collide against while rolling from side to side.

The area is also able to be viewed at night for creatures present in [[Night expedition|night expeditions]]. Creature behavior can also change when able, such as [[bulborbs]] now being fully awake. [[Lumiknoll]]s are also added and can be activated by throwing an item onto it, which in turn causes all creatures in the entry to instantly grow red eyes and try to attack it.

[[Dalmo]], the castaway used to unlock and access the Piklopedia itself, has his notes unlocked by default. His manner of describing entries resembles the [[Hey! Pikmin logs#Creature Log|Creature Log]] from {{hp}}, as he mostly provides anecdotes or personal opinions about the creature, the latter of which reflects his fondness for creatures as a whole.

After rescuing [[Olimar]], his notes become available. When possible, they are copied from previous Piklopedias with only minor changes. Creatures exclusive to {{p1}} and {{p4}} have entirely new notes written in the same style, being dry scientific analysis. However, some of them also incorporate Olimar's personal theories as well. Despite most information and notes in ''Pikmin 2'' coming from the ''Pikmin'' Player's Guide, ''Pikmin 4'' ignores its existence. This leads to discrepancies, such as the Aspergilla genus for the Puffstool not appearing despite its use in ''Hey! Pikmin''.

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 [[Moss|space]] [[Ancient Sirehound|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]].

Interestingly, Louie references ingredients found on Earth (cultivated in oxygen). These ingredients could not possibly be known by Louie, as Hocotate has a severely different climate. A possible explanation would be that Hocotatian plants might have similar appearances to those found on Earth, meaning that Louie would be using the names he is familiar with for a completely different plant.

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.

Creatures first encountered within a [[Dandori Challenge]] or a [[Dandori Battle]] will count as a discovery, except for Pikmin. Creatures first encountered in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] will also not count as discovery.

* Glow Pikmin do not have their own death counts (including in the [[final results menu]]) but in the Piklopedia, their individual deaths are counted in the Pikmin Casualties total from the respective enemies they died to. This also includes wild Pikmin, as their deaths do not add to each Pikmin type death count.
* Uniquely, the [[Groovy Long Legs]] and [[Ancient Sirehound]] are only available at night, despite not being creatures seen in [[Night expedition]]s. Any Pikmin type can be selected as if it were during the day. This likely to emulate the dark caverns they belong to.

** The Candypop Bud's entry depicts one bud of each color the player has collected the corresponding Onion for, allowing for all eight colors to be seen in the same area. During gameplay, the most Candypop Bud colors that can be seen at once is five, in Sublevel 19 of [[Cavern for a King]]. If the player engages the Candypop Bud, only one color will spawn.

** The Mamuta's entry depicts it sitting behind a group of buried Pikmin. The Pikmin's colors are randomized, and dependent on the Onion types that the player has collected. It is therefore possible for Pikmin of as many as eight different colors to be seen buried in front of the Mamuta, more than can ever naturally be out in the field at once. If the player engages the Mamuta, none of the buried Pikmin will be there.

** All of the Dweevil family member’s entries depicts them carrying a randomly selected Treasure or Enemy, showing that the Dweevils can carry up to 150 times their weight as it’s possible for them to carry the [[King of Meats]] which weighs 300. The heaviest object which can be seen carried during normal gameplay is the Sovereign Bulblax in [[Giant's Hearth]]
