Is there any way to specifically get a certain Pokemon in a Nuzlocke?

For my Sapphire Nuzlocke, I really want to get certain Pokemon (Ex: Ralts) for my team, is there any way to get a specific one in those games, or improve the chances of getting a certain typing of Pokemon? Sorry if this sounds dumb.

There are several ways to raise your chance of getting certain Pokemon and lowering your chance of getting others. The first way is the repel trick.

To perform the trick, the player simply needs any type of Repel (preferably multiple) and a Pokémon at a specific level at the front of the Party. Specifically, the Pokémon’s level must be the same as (or possibly less than) the highest wild Pokémon level in the area.

This trick is possible because the Repel’s effect is to prevent “weak” wild Pokémon from appearing. In this case, “weak” means a Pokémon at a lower level than the first Pokémon in the Party. This means that if wild Pokémon of multiple different levels (a range of levels) appears in an area, which is almost always the case, and the Pokémon at the front of the player’s Party has a level in between this range, any wild Pokémon with equal or higher levels will continue to appear while any Pokémon with a lower level will stop appearing.

sourceFor example, using a level 10 Pokemon and a repel in Granite Cave 1F will make you encounter Makuhita and nothing else. There are some abilities that affect the wild Pokemon that you encounter. The most straightforward are static, magnet pull, flash fire, storm drain, lightning rod, and harvest, which raises the chance of finding electric, steel, fire, water, electric, and grass Pokemon, respectively. Cute charm raises your chance of finding an opposite-gendered Pokemon and consequently raises your chance of finding a species that can be of the opposite gender (and lowers the chance of finding species that can only be the same gender or are genderless). Unfortunately, most of these effects were added later and are not in Sapphire.sourcePlease tell me if I missed something.

No. Encounters are completely random and there is no way to set an encounter unless you use cheats or something. However, there is something you can use to your advantage. It’s called ‘dupes clase’ which is basically if you encounter a Pokemon or its evolutionary line, you are free to skip it and get a different encounter but only if you already have said evolutionary line
