Where to find Knapper
Knapper never sets foot on land. The only water it surfaces in is Primordial Vale, shared with 83 other species, and the only way to bring one up is a rod you forged yourself. Walk the shoreline until the water moves.
How to catch Knapper
Knapper is one of the 126 legendaries, and the world treats it that way: it refuses anything below a Master ball, its base rate is 4% before your timing counts, and 9 of the 608 are harder to land. Throwing does not scare it off, it freezes it, and in Primordial Vale, where 84 species share the ground, whoever else is standing there throws at the same frozen target.
Supply
Only 4 Knapper will ever exist. That is a number you can count on one hand, and when the last one is caught the species stops spawning for everyone, permanently.
In a fight
As one of 24 water types sharing Primordial Vale, 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: 135 against 100 for its next best, a gap of 35 that decides how it wants to be played.

Questions
Where do I find Knapper in NOKEMON?
Primordial Vale. It never comes on land, so you need a forged rod rather than a ball. Other players can attack you there, and dying leaves a tombstone anyone can open.
How do I catch Knapper?
Throw a Master ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 4% 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 Knapper rare?
Yes, at the extreme. Only 4 will ever exist, and the moment the last one is caught the species leaves the spawn table for everybody, permanently.
What are the shiny odds on Knapper?
About 1 in 435 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.
