the movesuper fangis really good it will get your Pokemon at half health and will not kill it when paird with asleep inducing moveorthunder waveit will be easy to catch a Pokemon

Paralyze the opponent and slowly wear down it’s HP. This will make it really easy to catch.

Sleep also works really well but I prefer Paralyze as it will not wear off.

False Swipe is the only move, however, that will not faint a Pokemon.

Shadow Tag ability or Mean Look / Spider Web can trap a Pokemon so it can’t escape.Besides those, it’s best to freeze / put the wild PKMN to sleep to raise its catch rate.Source:Bulbapedia

what I use to catch Pokemon is false swipe and thunder wave. I usually have it on a fairly high level Pokemon lvl 100 preferably since you can pretty much 1 hit anything but false swipe prevents it from fainting which means it will stay at 1 hp. This is usually enough to catch it but thunder wave helps if it is being stubborn
