Silver Bottle Cap Debut

A Silver Bottle Cap will debut in Pokémon GO for the first time! The Silver Bottle Cap can be used to max one stat—Attack, Defense, or HP—on any Pokémon via Hyper Training.

The Silver Bottle Cap earned from GO Pass Deluxe: Into the Wild will expire on Monday, November 24, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. local time, regardless of when you claimed it, so remember to use it.
