Question

Can I obtain Xerneas in Pokémon Y?

Community Answer

No, you cannot catch Xerneas in Pokémon Y directly. Xerneas is exclusive to Pokémon X, while Yveltal is exclusive to Pokémon Y. To obtain Xerneas, you will need to trade with another player.

Question

If I defeat Xerneas or Yveltal in battle, can I still catch them?

Natalie Tellechea

Top Answerer

No. If you defeat Xerneas or Yveltal in battle, that specific encounter will end. However, you will be given another opportunity to battle them immediately until you succeed, as catching them is required to progress in the game.

You are matched with a random player who trades you a Pokémon. You will not know what Pokémon you will receive until the trade is complete.

Question

Community Answer

Mewtwo is an excellent choice for a Master Ball. In Pokémon X and Y, you can find this powerful legendary Pokémon in the cave located in Pokémon Village after becoming Champion.

Question

Can I get another Master Ball?

Community Answer

You typically receive only one Master Ball per game save. The only other way to obtain one is by trading with another player whose Pokémon is holding a Master Ball.

Question

Can a Master Ball ever fail?

Community Answer

No, a Master Ball is guaranteed to catch any Pokémon without fail. The shaking animation you see is standard and does not indicate a chance of failure; it will always successfully capture the Pokémon.

Question

How do I keep it alive long enough to catch it without False Swipe?

Community Answer

Save your game before the encounter. At the start of the battle, use a Quick Ball. If that fails, use 'not very effective' moves to safely lower its health. If you accidentally knock it out, you can soft reset to your last save point by pressing Left Bumper + Right Bumper + Start + Select simultaneously.
