Summary

Bottle Cap is an item in the Pokémon series primarily used in conjunction with the Hyper Training feature introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. The primary function of a Bottle Cap is to maximize a Pokémon's individual values (IVs). When given to Mr. Hyper in the game, a Bottle Cap can increase a chosen stat's IV to its maximum value of 31, which is essential for competitive play as it allows players to optimize their Pokémon's performance in battles.

There are various types of Bottle Caps: 1. Regular Bottle Cap: Increases one stat's IV to 31. 2. Gold Bottle Cap: Increases all six of a Pokémon's stats IVs to 31 instantly, making it highly valuable and sought after.

Interestingly, Bottle Caps do not change a Pokémon's IVs directly but rather make them appear maximized in battle, allowing players to retain usable IVs for breeding purposes if needed. This item enables competitive players to create perfect Pokémon without the need for
