Nanab Berries make Pokemon move slower during encounters, giving you a better chance to hit them with Pokeballs.
Honestly, the Nanab Berry just feels like a fancy way to make Pokemon nap time happen.
From my experience, giving a wild Pokemon a Nanab Berry reduces its erratic movement, which really helps when trying to make a perfect throw.
