The Piklopedia is a feature in the Pikmin 3 Deluxe release of Pikmin 3. It is an in-game collection of all of the enemies that the player has beaten so far. There is one entry per enemy, and inside each entry, the player can find a short video of the creature in action, comments by the each of the leaders, a listing of its habitat (i.e. the areas where the player is most likely to find it), and a counter of how many of this creature have been killed, throughout all playthroughs of Story Mode. To open the Piklopedia, the player must open the KopPad in Story Mode, and then choose the Piklopedia's app. The Piklopedia is not available from the start of the game, and neither are the entries or the comments. For details on how all of these are unlocked, see below.
Entries
There are a total of 55 entries. In-game, they are sorted by the order in which the player has unlocked them.
Comments
Alph, Brittany, Captain Charlie, Louie, and Captain Olimar all have something to say about each entry.
- Alph's comments are based on his views as an engineer, and focus on the creature's design, strengths, and weaknesses. He starts his comments by listing a "design flaw" in the creature, which refers to a weakness that the player can use for their advantage when fighting against it. Next, he lists the corpse's weight, or "unknown" if not applicable. Finally, he gives his thoughts about how the creature functions, again, in a design-oriented way.
- Brittany's comments are usually about the creature's appearance or habits, and how she might be able to use them, or how she could learn from them. Occasionally, she'll go into detail about the more floral aspects of the creatures, given she's a botanist.
- Charlie's comments are normally about fighting the creature. He gives tips on how to attack, or just quips about the enemy's combat strengths and weaknesses.
- Louie's notes are about how to best cook the creature in order to savor it, much like their Pikmin 2 Piklopedia counterpart.
- Olimar's notes start by specifying the enemy's name, then its scientific name, then its family. Then, he goes into detail about how the creature functions biologically, its quirks and interesting aspects, its lifestyle habits, and so on. Again, these follow their presentation from Pikmin 2.
For enemies that were in Pikmin 2, Louie's notes and Olimar's notes on them are very similar, if not exactly the same as their Pikmin 2 Piklopedia counterpart.
Unlocking
|
The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 3 Deluxe. |
Most entries are unlocked by killing and retrieving the enemy, but some have different rules, because their corpses cannot be brought to the Onion. The table above lists each enemy's requirements. Entries can only be unlocked by performing the requirements in Story Mode.
The comments for each leader are unlocked at different times:
- Alph's comments (and the Piklopedia in general) become available at the start of day 2 after observing the Onion in the landing site.
- Brittany's comments become available when the player frees her in the Garden of Hope.
- Charlie's comments become available when the player rescues him from the Vehemoth Phosbat.
- Louie's comments become available when the player rescues him from the Quaggled Mireclops.
- Olimar's comments become available when the player rescues him from the Plasm Wraith.

Trivia
- It is not possible to see an empty Piklopedia, as the ability to view it is unlocked during day 2, and it is impossible to complete day 1 without defeating and carrying at least 3 Female Sheargrubs.
