Gold Bottle Cap is a valuable item in the Pokémon series, specifically introduced in the games Pokémon Sun and Moon. Its primary function is to maximize the Individual Values (IVs) of a Pokémon. IVs are hidden stats that influence a Pokémon's potential in various attributes, such as Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense. These can affect the Pokémon's performance in battle.
Effects: - When a Gold Bottle Cap is given to Hyper Training NPC Mr. Hyper in the Battle Tree or similar facilities in subsequent games, it allows a player to maximize all six of a Pokémon's IVs to their highest value (31). This makes the Pokémon as strong as possible in terms of its genetic potential. - The use of a Gold Bottle Cap is especially significant for competitive play, as it enables trainers to optimize their Pokémon without extensive breeding or trading for high-IV Pokémon.
Interesting Facts: - Hyper Training does not change the actual IV values but treats them as if
