Where to find Shoji
Shoji lives underwater and shows up across The Lake and Duskgrove, which gives you 2 shorelines to work instead of one. No number of balls helps: without a forged rod it stays down there.
How to catch Shoji
Shoji is one of 178 uncommon species, takes a Basic ball or better, and its 28% base leaves 300 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 Shoji is 255, tighter than 333 of the 608 species and looser than 274, 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 Shoji 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 Shoji?
Throw a Basic ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 28% 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 Shoji rare?
Not by the standards of this world: the cap is 255. It is still a ceiling though, and once it fills the species stops spawning for everyone.
What are the shiny odds on Shoji?
About 1 in 74 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.
