You'll get this achievement through normal story progression.
Below is a guide that'll help you defeat Yunalesca.
All credit goes to the Final Fantasy X Wiki Guide:
When fighting Yunalesca, her first form has 24000 HP and should be easy. Have Tidus cast Hastega and Yuna cast Reflect on your melee people. Then attack
For her second form, she has 48000 HP. Dispel your Reflect and start attacking her. She will use Hellbiter, which will inflict Zombie on everyone, feel free to remove this status with Holy Water for now. But once she uses Hellbiter when she's dying, keep your Zombie status don't remove it. Her physical attacks are weak but Dispels all status enhancements. Spam Holy for 9999 damage if you have it.
For her third and final form, which has 60000 HP, she will use Mega Death on her first turn so it will be game over if all your characters are not Zombies. She uses Mega Death through-out this battle, so keep at least 1 character zombie during this fight. Use your Overdriven Aeons to finish her off.
Edit: I like to add that Yunalesca's 3rd form can also use Mind Blast, which inflicts damage, Confuse, and Curse (This was not stated in the Wiki Guide). Having something that helps against confuse will be highly helpful.
Edit II: Thanks to @Jamone the Afro for pointing out that after you defeat Yunalesca, you should go to the broken stairs at the top of the area and obtain the sun crest while you are there. If you do not, then you'll be forced to fight Dark Bahamut later for it.
Below is a video for those who prefer a more visual look into how to defeat Yunalesca.

Good guide. Might be worth mentioning that once you beat Yunalesca, before exiting the area you should take the broken stairs to the left to get the chest containing the sun crest. As this is needed to make Tidus’ ultimate weapon stronger. Otherwise if you come back after acquiring the airship, you have to face Dark Bahamut first before you can get the item and he is very difficult to beat.

@Jamone the Afro Thanks for the tip. I went ahead and added this to the solution.

This is a story-related achievement and cannot be missed.
You fight her
If the achievement doesn't unlock for you, I have found force quitting the game and relaunching going into FFX pushes it to unlock.
