Iirc sleep is better than paralysis for catching pokemon.

Honestly I just cheat now, I haven't played a modern Pokemon game in generations, I'm not interested in wasting time on intentionally low random results as "difficulty."

My Gen3 strategy is similar, but using Spore (sleep) instead of Thunder Wave. Breloom, Parasect, Smeargle all learn that combo. I like to use Smeargle with Thief as it doubles to farm junk like shards and whatnot.
