Where to find Marlin
Marlin keeps to The Lake and never leaves it. It is one of 92 species on that ground, and one of only 85 of them sharing its element.
How to catch Marlin
Marlin is one of 178 uncommon species, takes a Basic ball or better, and its 32% base leaves 353 of the 608 harder to land than this one. The first ball freezes it, and The Lake is home to 92 species, so the catch is decided on timing far more often than on luck.
Supply
The cap on Marlin is 400, tighter than 277 of the 608 species and looser than 320, 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. Raw attack leads at 77, but only by 5 over the next attribute, so the build is closer to balanced than to specialised.

Questions
Where do I find Marlin in NOKEMON?
The Lake. No level gate and no PvP, so the only thing standing between you and one is finding it.
How do I catch Marlin?
Throw a Basic ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 32% 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 Marlin rare?
Not by the standards of this world: the cap is 400. It is still a ceiling though, and once it fills the species stops spawning for everyone.
What are the shiny odds on Marlin?
About 1 in 83 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.
