Where to find Caterpillar
Caterpillar keeps to Duskgrove and never leaves it. It is one of 69 species on that ground, and one of only 51 of them sharing its element.
How to catch Caterpillar
Caterpillar is one of the 132 common ones: a Basic ball is enough, the base rate is 55%, and 590 of the 608 are harder to land. It still freezes on the first throw like everything else, so in Duskgrove, shared with 69 species, a neighbour with better timing takes it.
Supply
Caterpillar carries the largest cap in the game at 5000: nothing in the roster is allowed to run looser, and 605 species are held tighter. Even the ceiling at this end is fixed, and the 608 caps come to 407,200 creatures, the entire population this world will ever have.
In a fight
As one of 51 nature types sharing Duskgrove, it hits Water, Thunder hard and loses ground to Fire, Celestial, which is what will be thrown at it. Stamina leads at 60, but only by 4 over the next attribute, so the build is closer to balanced than to specialised.

Questions
Where do I find Caterpillar in NOKEMON?
Duskgrove. No level gate and no PvP, so the only thing standing between you and one is finding it.
How do I catch Caterpillar?
Throw a Basic ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 55% 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 Caterpillar rare?
Not by the standards of this world: the cap is 5000. It is still a ceiling though, and once it fills the species stops spawning for everyone.
What are the shiny odds on Caterpillar?
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.
