This article is about Olimar's encyclopedia on the life-forms he has encountered in Pikmin 2. It is not to be confused with Pikipedia, the name of this Wiki.

The Piklopedia is an in-game list of all the plants and enemies in Pikmin 2 that the player has come in contact with throughout their exploration. The player can access the Piklopedia's menu by pressing L / Padleft when on the area selection menu. Creatures that have not been seen yet will not appear on the Piklopedia, but their grid slots will still show their Piklopedia number. This feature also keeps track of how many Pikmin have been lost to each enemy, how many of said enemy the player has defeat so far, and how many Pokos the enemy is worth. For fields that cannot be counted, four dashes appear instead.

When using the Piklopedia, the scenery will change depending on what region the ship is hovering on the area selection screen. Pikpik carrots can also be thrown at enemies to see their reaction, although the throws cannot be aimed – not even with the New Play Control! remake's enhanced cursor – and are loosely based on the direction the camera is facing. Olimar's notes can be read by pressing X / the Plus Button on the Wii Remote, and Louie's notes, if available, can be read by pressing Y / the Minus Button on the Wii Remote. Ultra-Bitter Sprays can also be used on the non-plant creatures by pressing Z / the 1 Button on the Wii Remote; this does not affect the in-game spray count. The Piklopedia is the counterpart to the Treasure Hoard, which shares the same music:

Others

These objects are technically enemies but do not appear Pikmin 2's Piklopedia, likely because they are not a form of plant or animal life.

These objects exist in Pikmin 2''s data as obstacles and therefore are not included in the Piklopedia.

These are variations of regular enemies and plants that never appear in their respective Piklopedia entry but are technically a separate entity.

These are enemy objects that are technically separate entities but appear in the Piklopedia entry of their respective creature.

These are merely animated parts of a texture and have no name or other properties.

Leaders and Pikmin do not appear in the Piklopedia for obvious reasons.

Trivia

  • A dummy icon texture named zzdummy can be found within the Piklopedia's icon texture files. It's unused in the game, and it must have been used during development to represent enemies that had no icons at the time.
  • The icon textures for the Glowstem and Queen Candypop Bud have exact duplicates inside the game's files.
  • The icon for the Fiery Bulblax is 80 × 80 in size. This size is only used for boss icons, whereas normal enemies have icons that are 40 × 40. This indicates that in some early stage in development, the Fiery Bulblax was meant to be a boss, as are the other two "Bulblax" grub-dogs.
