Final Fantasy X HD Remaster - Lulu Only, Own Sphere Grid challenge:

This is the second grind spot for this challenge. Seeing how magic is essential for dealing damage at this point, you have no choice but to farm Jumbo Flan.
Once you figure out the fight, it's not very difficult, just very luck reliant.

He is immune to all physical attack, however, hitting him physically will still inflict slow if you have Slowstrike on your weapon.
Using 5 Focus is essential seeing as Ultima would have a 100% chance to kill you otherwise. With 5 Focus his Ultima will deal between 4140 and 4675 with shell, double that amount without shell.

I farmed 60 Dark Matters from Chimerageist to customize a better weapon with BDL, however, I stuck with 9,999 until I hit him to about 50% HP. This helps to have a better view of his current HP and what to do.
Starting at less than 50% HP, he will change his attack pattern and now has a 50% chance to cast flare, 25% to cast Ultima, and a 25% to cast Reflect + Curaga, or Regen if Reflect is already applied.
At less than 25% he will change to 50% chance of Ultima and 50% chance of Reflect + Curaga, or Regen if reflect is already applied.

Needless to say, you can't dps race against his Regen at this stage, so you want to get as much time as possible. I waited at about 26-30% HP until he casted Flare, which is a rank 5 action, so I get the maximum amount of turns before he gets his last turn.

The more magic you get from killing this guy, the less tedious this fight will become. At some point you will have enough magic to kill One Eye, getting about 8 extra magic defense will eliminate the chance of dying to Ultima.

You need about 90 Magic Spheres in total. You want spares before deleting all your magic later on, as you will have to add all of your magic back to the grid at a later point.
