      Tips

      • Xerneas and Yveltal are level 50, so make sure you have Pokémon that are of at least that level.
      • Stock up on plenty of Ultra Balls and Timer Balls. Timer Balls are useful if the battle goes on for a long time. Don't bother using a Master Ball if you have one, since they have a high catch rate for legendary Pokémon.
      • Save before battling. If you accidentally faint them or run out of Pokémon Balls, you can restart the game and try again.

      Warnings

      • Don't use moves that inflict Poison or Burn. These status effects do damage every turn, so they may faint before you can catch them.
      • Try not to use your Master Ball. Save it for one of the Legendary Birds, Zygarde, or Mewtwo.
