To do this, simply go to a nearby base camp and rest until nightfall.

How to Catch Alpha Dusknoir

Catch or Defeat Pokemon in the Area

The location of Alpha Golem is surrounded by multiple Drifloons and Duskulls that could get in the way of catching the Alpha Pokemon unawares.

In order to lessen the chances of getting noticed by the Alpha Dusknoir, be sure to catch or defeat the Pokemon surrounding the area before attempting to catch Alpha Dusknoir.

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.

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.
