Learn how to Hyper Train your Pokémon in Pokémon USUM to maximize their base stats using Bottle Caps. Understand IVs and EVs.
Hyper Training is an advanced mechanic in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon that allows you to maximize your Pokémon's Individual Values (IVs) once they reach level 100. This is crucial for competitive play, as it ensures your Pokémon have the best possible stats.
- Your Pokémon must be level 100.
- You need to have completed the main story and be able to access the Battle Tree.
- You will need Bottle Caps (regular or Big) to perform Hyper Training.
Walkthrough
- 1Travel to the Battle Tree on Poni Island.
- 2Speak to the NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) located in the building to the left of the Pokémon Center. This NPC is the Hyper Training expert.
- 3If your Pokémon is level 100 and meets the criteria, you can choose to Hyper Train it.
- 4You will need to use a Bottle Cap (regular) or a Big Bottle Cap to Hyper Train one stat. A regular Bottle Cap maximizes one IV, while a Big Bottle Cap maximizes all IVs.
- 5Hyper Training will make your Pokémon's IVs appear as 'Best' on their summary screen, visually represented by a blue sparkle.
Tips
- Bottle Caps can be obtained through various means, including battling at the Battle Tree, finding them as hidden items, or participating in certain events.
- Regular Bottle Caps are more common and can be farmed by playing through the Battle Tree.
- Big Bottle Caps are rarer and offer a significant boost, making them highly valuable.
- Hyper Training is most effective on Pokémon with naturally good IVs already, as it only boosts them to the maximum.
- Consider which stats are most important for your Pokémon's role and train those first if using regular Bottle Caps.
