Where to find Inkling
Inkling moves between The Lake and The Shores. If one is quiet the other is worth the walk, and 91 other species share its main ground, so a dry spell there is normal rather than a sign you are in the wrong place.
How to catch Inkling
Inkling sits in the rare band with 171 others, needs a Precision ball at minimum, and opens at 18%, which leaves 275 of the 608 harder to land than this one. The freeze on the first throw makes it a race: The Lake holds 92 species, so the area is rarely empty when you find one.
Supply
60 Inkling will exist, ever. The server enforces that at the moment of capture, under a row lock, so two players cannot slip past the cap at the same instant.
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. 5 of its five attributes sit at exactly 70, so the build gives you no steer at all: the matchup decides how it plays.

Questions
Where do I find Inkling in NOKEMON?
The Lake. The door is gated: you need average skill level 20 to get in.
How do I catch Inkling?
Throw a Precision ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 18% 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 Inkling rare?
Yes. The cap is 60, enforced at the instant of capture, and nothing refills it: when it fills, the only way to own one is to buy it from a player.
What are the shiny odds on Inkling?
About 1 in 56 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.
