Where to find Chippen
Chippen lives underwater and shows up across The Lake and The Shores, which gives you 2 shorelines to work instead of one. No number of balls helps: without a forged rod it stays down there.
How to catch Chippen
Chippen is one of the 132 common ones: a Basic ball is enough, the base rate is 57%, and 601 of the 608 are harder to land. It still freezes on the first throw like everything else, so in The Lake, shared with 92 species, a neighbour with better timing takes it.
Supply
The cap on Chippen is 675, tighter than 182 of the 608 species and looser than 425, and finite either way: the ceilings together come to 407,200 creatures for the whole world, forever.
In a fight
As one of 85 water types sharing The Lake, it hits Fire hard and loses ground to Nature, Thunder, Celestial, which is what will be thrown at it. It leans hard on raw attack: 64 against 40 for its next best, a gap of 24 that decides how it wants to be played.

Questions
Where do I find Chippen in NOKEMON?
The Lake. It never comes on land, so you need a forged rod rather than a ball. The door is gated: you need average skill level 20 to get in.
How do I catch Chippen?
Throw a Basic ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 57% 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 Chippen rare?
Not by the standards of this world: the cap is 675. It is still a ceiling though, and once it fills the species stops spawning for everyone.
What are the shiny odds on Chippen?
About 1 in 55 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.
