According to Serebii:
False Swipe is a handy move as it will never knock out a Pokémon, but if you keep hitting it with False Swipe, then it will likely wobble.
But I'm seeing a lot of people saying that this is not true, e.g. GameFAQs. I've tried it with my Gutsy Spearow and I've never wobbled a pokemon in this way.
Can somebody confirm this?

No, False Swipe cannot wobble an enemy when reduced to 1HP. You actually have to deal damage to make it wobble, because it happens when you inflict a critical hit.
Morover, Serebii has removed that statement.
I cannot confirm exactly, but I would say it should cause wobbling since False Swipe can do damage but not faint a pokemon, meaning that you have plenty of chances to make it wobble. Hope this helped
