The Equus statistically is the best Dino for knocking out things as it’s buck attack does 3.4 torpor per damage vs the scorpions 2.9 torpor per damage. The crossbow is nice as trans arrows are cheap, but if you don’t worry about resource cost then yeah the shocking tranq dart is the best.

The best way to knock out a dino is to use a shocking tranq arrow with a long neck rifle. The best creature to knock out a dino is the patchy, but don't use the dinos to knock out creatures. It's not useful. But what you should do is get a bear trap or a large bear trap to trap them or a bola or chain bola best way is bear trap or go up on a rock were they cant hit you and start shooting it with tranqs.
