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.

== Usable items ==
== Usable items ==
There are several items to view enemy behavior with. These include:
Similar to the option to throw [[Pikpik carrots]] in [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|the original Piklopedia]], there is an option to use and throw items at the creatures. These include:
* [[Pikpik carrots]]
* [[Pikpik carrots]]
* [[Bomb rocks]]
* [[Bomb rocks]]
* [[Ice Blast]]s
* [[Ice Blast]]s
* [[Lightning Strike]]s
* [[Lightning Shock]]s
 
When engaging in combat, the player is also given an infinite supply of the above items (along with [[Mine]]s, [[Trackonator]]s, [[Scrummy Bone]]s, and [[Glow Seed]]s) to use.
 
When observing [[Pikmin]] in particular, the option to use Bomb Rocks or Ice Blasts is unavailable.


== Area ==
== Area ==
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. This water 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.

For the Pikmin's entries in the Piklopedia, 5 of the specific type will be seen fighting an enemy (or multiple of the same species) they are resistant to, to demonstrate their abilities. Unless the player engages, the enemy will never actually die from the Pikmin attacking it (nor can they be whistled away before the creature is defeated, similar to wild Pikmin). If the enemy they attack has yet to be discovered and added to the Piklopedia, they will not appear and the 5 Pikmin will stand idle and cannot be interacted with at all when engaged.

=== 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 ===
=== 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.

=== 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. When it comes to the Pikmin, the Onion, the [[Moss|space]] [[Ancient Sirehound|dogs]], 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]].

==== Recipe oddities ====
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, this would also explain Olimar's knowledge of onions.
 
In addition, the following notes conflict with the way enemies die in-game as they do not leave corpses:
 
*[[Baldy Long Legs]]
*[[Bulborb Larva]]
*[[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]]
*[[Groovy Long Legs]]
*[[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]]
*[[Man-at-Legs]]
*[[Waterwraith]]
These same sort of oddities also exist in ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} Piklopedia as listed [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)#Recipe oddities|here]].
As well as ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''{{'s}} Piklopedia as seen [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)#Recipe oddities|here]].

== Unlocking ==
To add a creature to the Piklopedia, [[Pikmin 4 player character|the player's character]] or [[Oatchi]] must simply be within a close enough range to the creature, typically the distance they are able to throw their Pikmin. If one of the player's Pikmin (this does not include wild Pikmin) is able to attack the creature without the player being near it, it will also count as a discovery. There are some exceptions to this rule [[#Entries|detailed above]].

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.

** 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]]
