Where to find Swirlpole
Swirlpole keeps to The Shores and never leaves it. It is one of 125 species on that ground, and one of only 116 of them sharing its element.
How to catch Swirlpole
Swirlpole is one of the 132 common ones: a Basic ball is enough, the base rate is 45%, and 476 of the 608 are harder to land. It still freezes on the first throw like everything else, so in The Shores, shared with 125 species, a neighbour with better timing takes it.
Supply
The cap on Swirlpole is 1000, tighter than 132 of the 608 species and looser than 464, and finite either way: the ceilings together come to 407,200 creatures for the whole world, forever.
In a fight
As one of 116 water types sharing The Shores, it hits Fire hard and loses ground to Nature, Thunder, Celestial, which is what will be thrown at it. Raw attack leads at 56, but only by 4 over the next attribute, so the build is closer to balanced than to specialised.

Questions
Where do I find Swirlpole in NOKEMON?
The Shores. The door is gated: you need average skill level 20 to get in.
How do I catch Swirlpole?
Throw a Basic ball or better and win the timing bar. The base rate is 45% 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 Swirlpole rare?
Not by the standards of this world: the cap is 1000. It is still a ceiling though, and once it fills the species stops spawning for everyone.
What are the shiny odds on Swirlpole?
About 1 in 100 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.
