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.

=== Dalmo ===
=== Dalmo ===
[[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.

=== Olimar ===
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''.

Previously, the creature's family and scientific name were included within Olimar's notes, but now are listed separately (like in ''Hey! Pikmin'''s Creature Log) and can be viewed before his rescue.


=== Louie ===
=== Louie ===
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.

In addition, the following notes conflict with the way enemies die in-game as they do not leave corpses:
