If you are wondering whether Pokemon Legends Z-A has the Hyper Training mechanic, this article will explain everything that you need to know.

Hyper Training is often the most important aspect of a Pokemon title, especially if you want to have the perfect build. In a way, Hyper Training is like a limit-breaker that can increase a Pokemon’s IVs to the maximum possible amount. As such, you might wonder if you can Hyper Train your team members in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
Pokemon Legends Z-A does have the Hyper Training feature. Unlike the earlier Legends Arceus, each Pokemon does have the EV (Effort Value) and IV (Individual Value) stat. As such, Hyper Training exists and you can maximize your team’s potential. In this article, we will explain how you can Hyper Train in Pokemon Legends Z-A, and when you can access this feature.
How To Hyper Train in Pokemon Legends Z-A?

You need Bottle Caps to Hyper Train in Pokemon Legends Z-A. Bottle Caps are rare items that you can use to increase the IVs (Individual Values) of a Pokemon. However, these are late game rewards that you can get from the Professor only. It is currently unknown exactly at what level or point in the game you will receive the Bottle Caps. We will update this article with relevant information once we have discovered it ourselves.
Moreover, you will only be able to Hyper Train once you unlock the Dojo in Pokemon Legends Z-A. Once done, you can spend the Bottle Caps at the Dojo to Hyper Train and level up the Individual Value (IV) of any Pokemon in Legends Z-A.
How to Check Your Pokemon’s IV in Pokemon Legends Z-A?
You can check a Pokemon’s IV using the Judge function in Pokemon Legends Z-A. However, the Judge function is only unlocked once you finish the entire game. As such, Hyper Training is most effective when you do it after beating the game. You will be able to use these Hyper Trained Pokemon in the ranked modes of the game as well.
What Are Individual Values (IVs) of a Pokemon?

Individual Values, or IVs, are the innate statistics of a Pokemon that do not normally change once you have caught it. There are six IVs that a Pokemon can have:
- HP
- Attack
- Defense
- Sp. Attack
- Sp. Def
- Speed
The only way to increase the IVs is by using Bottle Caps and Hyper Training them. However, Bottle Caps are extremely rare items, and you will only get a handful of them during the story. These might be available as special rewards later down the line.
