EX. Yeah, one of the trickier elements of Pokemon strategy is figuring out how capture Pokemon especially rare, singular, or even super rare shiny Pokemon rather than knock them out. This seems to get harder the more powerful your Pokemon becomes, but here are a few tips.
1. Train up Pokemon that paralyze and put foes to sleep before they can explode, attack back, flee, etc. This will also multiply your chances of netting a Pokemon with your Pokeball.
2. Use a tough Pokemon that can withstand the Pokemon's moves. A good trick is to use neutral or resistant Pokemon to match up against them and use moves that are not very effective or neutral to whittle them down. There is even a move that does damage without knocking a Pokemon out like "False Swipe."
3. This is the obvious part that is easy to forget: buy lots of ultra balls, timer balls, fast balls, etc. and make sure you have items to help catch Pokemon and keep your team alive (hyper potions, full restores, revives, etc.).
And that's all the best advice I have for capturing Pokemon.
