Where to find Barkoal
Barkoal keeps to The Wild and never leaves it. It is one of 71 species on that ground, and one of only 63 of them sharing its element.
How to catch Barkoal
Barkoal is one of the 132 common ones: a Basic ball is enough, the base rate is 45%, and 476 of the 608 are harder to land. It still freezes on the first throw like everything else, so in The Wild, shared with 71 species, a neighbour with better timing takes it.
Supply
The cap on Barkoal is 1000, tighter than 132 of the 608 species and looser than 464, and finite either way: the ceilings together come to 407,200 creatures for the whole world, forever.
In a fight
As one of 63 nature types sharing The Wild, it hits Water, Thunder hard and loses ground to Fire, Celestial, which is what will be thrown at it. It leans hard on defence: 64 against 48 for its next best, a gap of 16 that decides how it wants to be played.

Questions
Where do I find Barkoal in NOKEMON?
The Wild. Other players can attack you there, and dying leaves a tombstone anyone can open.
How do I catch Barkoal?
Throw a Basic ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 45% and your accuracy moves it, but the ball is spent whether you land the catch or not, so carry more than you think you need.
Is Barkoal rare?
Not by the standards of this world: the cap is 1000. It is still a ceiling though, and once it fills the species stops spawning for everyone.
What are the shiny odds on Barkoal?
About 1 in 100 per capture. Nothing improves it: no ball, no streak, no item and no amount of waiting. The only lever you have is how many you throw at.
