Shiny pokemon have a much lower catch rate, if I recall correctly. Unless you're working with special pokeballs(Dusk ball, for instance) you're gonna have a horribly rough time catching even normal pokemon if they're not weakened. There are few moves(or maybe one?) that always leave the pokemon with 1 health... I think.

Only false swipe can damage a pokemon to 1 HP without KO'ing it. Although last time I checked it's realitivley weak.
