The earliest quest you can accept with Tigrex is Destructive Instructor, which is also one of the best ways of completing this side quest because you can tackle the quest with Minoto, who will aid you in battle, making it easier to take down this monster.

To capture a Tigrex, make sure you bring Traps and Tranq Bombs to the quest. Tigrex is weak to Thunder, so bring a weapon with this element and battle the monster like normal until the blue capture-ready symbol appears below the monster's icon.

At this point, prepare your Trap and wait for Tigrex to fall into it. Then, quickly throw your Tranq Bombs at the monster to capture it. Upon returning from the quest, the Red Hell Hunter's Hint side quest will be complete.
