Talk:False Swipe (move)/@comment-35134481-20190611143303

Someone asked this earlier, so the best Pokémon to use for weakening Wild Pokémon that you want to catch is Scrow. It is the only one to learn False Swipe and a move that makes the foe fall asleep (Grasswhistle on level 30). Other than that, you may also teach Yawn to something via move tutor, or experiment with other moves like Endeavor, Super Fang or Pain Split instead of False Swipe. Or just use another status condition like paralysis.
