In the spin-off games A Gold Bottle Cap in Pokémon GO Pokémon GO Main article: Hyper Training → In Pokémon GO Gold Bottle Caps were introduced to Pokémon GO on June 23, 2025, available from GO Pass Deluxe: Ancients Recovered. Using a Gold Bottle Cap on a Pokémon will initiate Hyper Training to increase up to all three of the Pokémon's IVs by completing certain tasks. Like Lucky Trinkets , they must be used by a certain deadline, upon which they will be removed from the player's Bag . Unlike in the core series, the player can choose to what extent the Gold Bottle Cap will increase each IV. Once Hyper Training has begun, the player has 365 days to complete the training. Gold Bottle Caps can only be used on Good Buddies or higher, and they can't be used on Shadow Pokémon or Pokémon with all three IVs at maximum.
