When it’s PP runs out, it will begin to struggle, causing it to deal substantial damage to itself. This should only be used when you know or suspect that your target is low on PP, or Power Points. All that’s left to do is to throw any kind of Pokéball, preferably the Ultra Ball, which has the highest capture rate without needing any requirements to be met, only second to the Master Ball, which you can obtain once throughout the storyline and will capture without fail. Doing so will increase the capture rate of your target and will make it easier to capture. However, Pokémon can wake up from Hypnosis and will need to be put back to sleep. The reason for these two moves is because electric-type Pokémon cannot be affected by Thunder Wave, so Hypnosis can be used as a substitute and vice versa.

Once you finish with that, use your Pokémon with Hypnosis or Thunder Wave to paralyze it/put it to sleep. A Pokémon cannot be knocked out with the move False Swipe. Again, assuming you find your shiny, you’ll want to get it down to low health using your “False Swiper.” The reason for the False Swiper, if you didn’t already know, is to safely get the target down to one Hit Point without knocking it out. Assuming you’ve met said requirements and have a target, all you’ll need to do is save in front of the Pokémon/Object used to encounter it, encounter the Pokémon, and if it’s not shiny, then press start, left trigger, and right trigger all at the same time for the 3DS line, and for the normal DS line, press start, select, left trigger, and right trigger all at the same time. In each game, different requirements must be met in order to encounter each Legendary Pokémon. This however is avoidable if you bring a level 100 Pokémon that can learn the move “False Swipe”, and a Pokémon with both the moves “Thunder Wave” and “Hypnosis”. Shiny legendary Pokémon are the hardest Pokémon to hunt using this method, only because they are incredibly difficult to capture if you aren’t prepared, it will lead to a failure in the worst-case scenario. What’s great about this method is it isn’t restricted to just one generation and can be done in every generation other than generation one. This can be done for a few other non-legendaries, though.

Soft resetting is one of the only ways to encounter a shiny legendary Pokémon. This method is affected by the Shiny Charm. All it requires is running around in the grass until a shiny appears. Random Encounters is probably the easiest method.
