Giratina is an extremely strong legendary Pokémon but after it is captured. Right now, its 4 moves make the battle easy (so no need to defeat it). Here's how.
Giratina is an extremely strong legendary Pokémon. Right now, the four moves it knows make the battle pretty easy. Here's how to capture it:
*First reduce most of its power using a ghost, dragon, dark or ice type move from a Pokémon below level 70.
 
*Paralysing it is also suggested. (Not burn, poison or confuse)
*First reduce most of its HP. Use Ghost, Dragon, Dark or Ice type moves to weaken it, but make sure you don't KO it.
*Once its HP is in the red zone, switch to a ghost Pokémon (makes the move slash useless). A flying ghost or one with the ability to levitate overcomes move Earth Power.
* Status ailments such as PAR, FRZ and SLP are also a good idea (do not burn, poison or confuse as this may KO Giratina before you have a chance to capture it)
*If these needs are met but you don't use a ghost, lots of healing items are needed. Heal Block move stops healing, so switch a blocked Pokémon to remove the block.
*Use moves such as Charm, Screech and Scary Face, or use pokemon with abilities such as intimidate to sharply lower Giratina's stats. This will help make catching the pokemon easier.
*Giratina vanishes one move before using shadow force. Quickly switch to a normal Pokémon (immune to move Shadow Force).
*Giratina vanishes one move before using Shadow Force. Switch to a Normal type Pokémon to avoid getting damage (immune to Ghost type moves). Once it has used Shadow Force five times, you may want to use a Ghost/Flying type Pokemon or a Ghost type that knows the ability Levitate. This will eliminate any chance of receiving damage from Slash and Earth Power.
*Start throwing Ultra Balls or Dusk Balls if your Pokémon's HP is high and Giratina's is low. Try hard until you get Giratina
*Start throwing Poke Balls once you feel you have lowered its states and HP enough.
