The simplest way to get to the Alpha Carnivine is to fast travel to the Diamond Settlement and use Wyrdeer to sprint around Lake Valor or use Basculegion to cross the river towards the north side of Cottonsedge Praire. Note that there is an Alpha Vespiquen nearby, so be careful not to walk to far in that direction.

How to Catch Alpha Carnivine

Use Smoke Bombs and Razz Berries

The most important skill for catching wild Pokemon is being able to lure them with berries so that you have a clear shot on their back. Razz Berries make Pokemon easier to catch, so when combined with Heavy/Leaden/Gigaton Balls, they can make it very easy to catch Alpha Pokemon.

Alternatively, you can also use a Stealth Spray to sneak up on the Alpha.

Repeatedly catch them unawares

This method of catching a Pokemon allows you to make use of the fact that your character can move freely during battle. Since it only involves going into battle, it requires less precision than the method that involves Smoke Bombs and Razz Berries.

Additionally, this method allows you to continuously have the Alpha Pokemon be caught unawares, so even if your Pokemon is at a much lower level than the Alpha Pokemon, you'll be able to damage them, run, catch them unawares, then repeat in a loop until their HP is low enough to easily catch them.
