In Pokémon X, wild Seviper can only be found in hordes of Zangoose on Route 8. Because they're mortal enemies, Zangoose and Seviper will ignore your Pokémon and focus on attacking each other. This makes catching Seviper extremely hard because the Zangoose always knock it out within two turns. However, there exists one easy method for catching Seviper.
1. Have a Normal type Pokémon with the move Synchronoise and put it on the first slot. For more information on that move, check this: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Synchronoise
2. Go to Route 8 and use Honey or the move Sweet Scent in the tall grass or flower patch to force a horde encounter. Repeat this step until you find a horde of Zangoose.
3. Use the move Synchronoise and enjoy seeing all the Zangoose faint with the lone Seviper left intact. It's highly likely that some Zangoose will use the move Quick Attack to deal damage to the Seviper but the probably of it fainting is very small.
4. You can now focus on catching the Seviper.
Finding a normal type pokemon with synchronoise isnt very easy. Instead find an oddish with acid and use it to knock out the zangoose while the seviper will live. May have to adjust the oddish level enough to one shot the zangoose.
