The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature Picture Book}}) 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}} when on the [[Menu/Area selection|area selection menu]].

After being absent from {{p3}}, the Piklopedia [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|makes a return]] in {{p3d}}, now including notes from [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]] alongside Olimar and Louie's.

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.

{{for|a full list|:Category:Olimar's notes|t1=Category:Olimar's notes}}

Olimar's notes focus on giving information about the creature, including its habits, biological features, and mysteries. They can be read by picking an entry and pressing {{button|gc|x|wii|+}}. His notes are always available as long as the entry is available.

{{for|a full list|:Category:Louie's notes|t1=Category:Louie's notes}}

Louie's notes provide recipes on how to cook the creature. They can be read by picking an entry and pressing {{button|gc|y|wii|-}}. His notes only become available when the player defeats the [[Titan Dweevil]] and recovers the [[King of Bugs]] for the first time. Once this happens, a global flag is set in the game's [[saved game|save data]], and his notes become available forever, for any [[Story Mode]] slot, even if the original slot is deleted.

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. This is most likely because Hocotatian plants often have a similar appearance to those found on Earth so Louie uses the names he is familiar with for a completely different plant.

* These enemies do not leave a corpse:

** [[Puffy Blowhog]] (in ''Pikmin 2'')

* {{icon|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva|y}}: only the free-roaming variant counts; the buried one does not.

*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 [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|early stage in development]], the Fiery Bulblax was meant to be a boss, as are the other two "Bulblax" [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]].

*If a pikpik carrot lands near a [[Red Bulborb]], [[Hairy Bulborb]], or [[Orange Bulborb]] just as it is about to go to sleep, its yawning and lying down animations will be sped up.

*According to Louie's notes, the following creatures are inedible: [[Caustic Dweevil]], [[Munge Dweevil]], [[Volatile Dweevil]], [[Crimson Candypop Bud]], [[Golden Candypop Bud]], [[Queen Candypop Bud]], [[Mamuta]], [[Glowstem]], [[Clover]], [[Foxtail]], [[Shoot]], [[Beady Long Legs]], [[Waterwraith]], [[Shaggy Long Legs]], [[Baldy Long Legs]], and [[Plasm Wraith]].

*The [[Bulborb]] icon used to represent the Piklopedia within the [[area selection menu]] is unique and does not seem to be exactly derived from any particular Bulborb variant in ''Pikmin 2''. Peculiarly, when examined very closely, the icon seems to be derived from the model of the juvenile [[Bulbmin]] (as evidenced by its completely black eyes, leg coloration and proportions, and white spot placement) with the leaf stem removed. Interestingly, the internal name for the texture is <code>chapy</code>, whereas the internal name for Bulborbs is usually spelled <code>chappy</code>.
