What Is Hyper Training?
Get the Best IVs For Your Pokemon
Hyper Training will allow you to max out the IVs of your Pokemon! Individual Values or IVs further improve a specific stat of a Pokemon and make them stronger!

You can check a Pokemon's IVs by using the Judge Function at the Rotomi. This function is unlocked once you reach the Poke Ball Tier in the Battle Tower.
Cannot Hyper Train Pokemon With Perfect IVs
You will not be able to hyper train Pokemon that already have the "Best" stats for all of their IVs. When a Pokemon has perfect IVs, you can then choose to EV train them instead!
Check Out the EV Training Guide Here!Recommended For Pokemon You Cannot Breed
Hyper Training is recommended for Pokemon that you cannot breed, such as the legendaries. However, hyper training is also a viable way of getting good IVs without breeding your Pokemon!
Hyper Trained IVs Will Not Be Passed Down
The best IVs you get with Hyper Training will not be passed down to the egg. You need to use other methods if you want to breed.
