Pokemon GOand other Pokemon games come with several in-game items. While some items attract a specific type of Pokemon, there are items that can evolve, heal, power up a Pokemon, and more. Bottle Caps are among some of the highly sought-after items in Pokemon games.
Bottle Caps were first introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon (Gen VII) for Hyper Training. The term “Hyper Training” refers to maximizing a Pokemon’s Individual Values (IVs). You do not have to perfectly breed the monster to achieve the feat. They were introduced with two variants; Silver Bottle Cap and Gold Bottle Cap. That said, this guide details whether you may get Bottle Caps inPokemon GOand more.
Can You Get Bottle Caps In Pokemon GO?
While many speculations and leaks float around the community, there has been no officialannouncement from the developers. Currently,you cannot get Bottle Caps inPokemon GO, since theyhaven’t been added yet. However, the accessibility to maximize a Pokemon’s IVs has both pros and cons.
The addition of Bottle Caps inPokemon GOcan drastically change how trainers play PvP/PvE battles orthe in-game leages. While this could add more competitiveness in battles, it might as well easily take the fun out for casual players. It would be fair if the Bottle Caps were a rare grindable item and also available as a once-in-a-while ticketed item for more serious players.
Mainline Game-Items Missing From Pokemon GO
While there areseveralPokemon GOitemsthat can evolve, heal, teach a specific move, and more, some amazing mainline game items are still missing. Much like the Bottle Caps, you cannot get Everstone, Z-Ring, and Vitamins in the game.
There is no way to predict when and if the developers will add Bottle Caps and other items inPokemon GO.
