The One That Takes Guide
1
To start the mission, fast travel to Nouveau Cafe and ask Grisham about "The One That Takes".
2
Fast travel to Quasartico Inc. and head inside as Grisham instructed to discuss about Yveltal.
3
To ensure that you're fit to go against Yveltal, Vinnie will put you to the test first with their Rogue Mega Evolution Simulator 3000.

In this holo-tech, you will have rematches against the Rogue Mega Evolutions of Victreebel, Hawlucha, and Tyranitar. They have the same movesets as in their first encounters, but are enhanced to Lv.70.
Rogue Mega Victreebel Strategy Guide
Weakness: Fire, Flying, Ice, Psychic
Rogue Mega Hawlucha Strategy Guide
Weakness: Flying, Ice, Electric, Fairy, Psychic
Rogue Mega Tyranitar Strategy Guide
Weakness: Fighting, Water, Grass, Ground, Bug, Steel, Fairy
4
Right after you're done with the third Rogue Mega, you will receive a report that Yveltal has entered the borders of Lumiose City. Fast travel to Rouge Sector 2's Pokemon Center and go around the compound until you reach the scaffolding at the northeast corner.

You need to get to the ladder at the center of the scaffolding to reach the rooftops. Once you get to the top, simply use your Roto-Glide to reach the top of the dome where Yveltal will appear.
5
Yveltal has a dual type of Flying and Dark, making Gardevoir one of the best Pokemon to use against it as it is resistant to most of Yveltal's attacks and can exploit its weakness with Fairy-type Moves.

Wear it down and capture it to complete the mission. If you fail to capture it, you can retry as many times as needed until it is caught.
