and you can heal yourself by using the fire attack on yourself.
Aeons and legendary weapons:

and useless, get all of them and your Aeons will have a normal
attack of 9999.
The Overdrives:
Auron: GEt different Jecht Spheres laying
about the world. Some of these will give Auron a new Overdrive.

Kimari: Use the Dragon Sword ability to
drain HP and MP from the enemy. If the enemy has a Blue magic
skill that Kimari can learn, he will gain it automatically.

which you obtain from the Omega Weapon.
Lulu: Rotate the Right Analog-stick clockwise
as fast as possible. The number will go up the more you rotate
it. The more you level Lulu up, the easier it is to cast multiple
spells.
Rikku: Rikku's Overdrive combines items
to create special attacks and power-ups during battle. You
have to choose any two items to combine. Note: Two of the
same kind will work.
Tidus: Just keep using them over and over.
After a while, he will learn his next Overdrive.
Wakka: You can win new Overdrive roulette
(slots) types in the Blitzball Ranking and Tournament modes.
Beat Dark Aeons:
Use Yojimbo, and give him large amounts of money until he
does Zanmato. This may require a few attempts.
Easy Aeon healing:
Instead of bothering to have one of your Aeons learn any of
the cure spells, try this. For the elemental Aeons (Ifrit, Shiva,
Ixion, etc.), try using a spell that corresponds with their
element (Ifrit: Fire, Shiva: Blizzard, Ixion: Thunder). This
heals them much more than if you did any cure spell You can
also try the advanced spells (Fira, Blizzara, etc.).
Aeons and legendary weapons:

and useless, get all of them and your Aeons will have a normal
attack of 9999.

heal all the party members, revive all summons and completely
heal MP.
Low MP spells:

makes each spell cast cost one MP, and Magic Booster makes the
damage x1.5 for double the MP. Then, double cast these spells
for a cost of only 4 MP.
