Where to find Monarch
Monarch 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 Monarch
Monarch is one of the 132 common ones: a Basic ball is enough, the base rate is 55%, and 590 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
Monarch carries the largest cap in the game at 5000: nothing in the roster is allowed to run looser, and 605 species are held tighter. Even the ceiling at this end is fixed, and 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 focus: 68 against 40 for its next best, a gap of 28 that decides how it wants to be played.

Questions
Where do I find Monarch 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 Monarch?
Throw a Basic ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 55% 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 Monarch rare?
Not by the standards of this world: the cap is 5000. It is still a ceiling though, and once it fills the species stops spawning for everyone.
What are the shiny odds on Monarch?
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.
