Where to find Budfin
Budfin never sets foot on land. The only water it surfaces in is The Lake, shared with 91 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 Budfin
Budfin is one of the 132 common ones: a Basic ball is enough, the base rate is 50%, and 531 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
Budfin is one of the abundant ones at 1550, with only 89 species allowed to run looser and 508 held tighter, and even at this end the number is fixed: the 608 caps come to 407,200 creatures, the entire population this world will ever have.
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 speed: 68 against 40 for its next best, a gap of 28 that decides how it wants to be played.

Questions
Where do I find Budfin in NOKEMON?
The Lake. It never comes on land, so you need a forged rod rather than a ball. No level gate and no PvP, so the only thing standing between you and one is finding it.
How do I catch Budfin?
Throw a Basic ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 50% 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 Budfin rare?
Not by the standards of this world: the cap is 1550. It is still a ceiling though, and once it fills the species stops spawning for everyone.
What are the shiny odds on Budfin?
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.
