Pokémon GO Introduces Hyper Training with Bottle Caps
Max Out IVs with Gold Bottle Caps via GO Pass Deluxe
Trainers, big news! Pokémon GO is finally adding Hyper Training, letting you boost a Pokémon’s IVs to their maximum—as seen in the mainline games. This feature launches next week using Gold Bottle Caps unlocked via the Deluxe GO Pass: Ancients Recovered, priced at $19.99.
How Hyper Training Works
- Buddy Requirement: Pokémon must be at least Great Buddy rank. Gold caps max out all IVs, while regular Bottle Caps max a single stat.
- Training Tasks: After applying a cap, complete stat-specific in-game tasks (like Gym battles or buddy activities) within 365 days.
- Shadow Pokémon: These cannot be hyper-trained.
Event Details & Availability
- Gold Bottle Cap Release: Included in the $19.99 Deluxe Pass for Ancients Recovered, available June 23–29.
- Timing: This launch aligns with GO Fest Global on June 28–29.
