Damn you and the same logic I would actually use in game.
Maybe it is like the legendary beasts and it will flee while asleep.
With all the discussion about IV, I just remember about the fact that we can transfer pokémon from RBY to Sun and Moon. While the values can be just multiplied by 2 to match more or less with the actual stat system, Hidden Power has still a problem (all hidden power would be fighting by using that system). So, i have two thing in mind. One, Hyper Training will be used to help pokémon coming from RBY to have perfect IV and two, Hidden Power will probably use another system (that I hope will be easier than relying on IV) to find the type.
The only question I have left is what about the EV (since we can max out all EV in RBY) ?

My guess is they'll just wipe them. EV training in modern games is already so much easier, and if you wanted to use anything you caught in RBY you'd probably want to clear off its EVs anyway.
The Cottonee line got changed to Grass/Fairy in 6th gen, so it wouldn't be a new typing.
Genetic engineering is one way of carrying out eugenics. The current breeding process and the new feature can both be described that way. (And regardless of the semantics, what causes people to object morally to eugenics is also present in genetic engineering; the idea of decrying one and not the other is absurd.)
Like the iv thing from competitive aspect and just normal message in Pokemon. If think of it like Jibaku said, it's pretty nice that theoretically possible after hit max lvl, you and your in-game team partners can become stronger and be battle ready instead of just 100x generations down of inbreeding.
As I've spent the last week hatching Scyther in attempt to breed for 5 IVs, this Hyper Training news is both really exciting and incredibly frustrating.
Look at it this way - in the future, it won't be as hard
As I said, we STILL don't know how we're going to get bottlecaps in game. It may be like the ability capsule where it's a rather expensive item to get. Which would you rather do, try to hatch the 5 IV Scyther yourself or get 200 battle points?
Ugh, I'm late. So much discussion! Here's my two cents:
Bewear is still pretty eh to me. I'm still hoping it gets a cool evolution that I can appreciate.
Mimikyu probably is a gimmick pokemon, but damn, I still love it. Seriously considering it for my team.
Wimpod is neat. Though it's ability sounds like it'll make it a bitch to catch.
Mudsdale is awesome. So it's defense goes up whenever it's hit by a contact move? That'll be difficult to deal with in battle. It's making me wonder the use it'll get competitively.
Comfey is eh. I don't really have much to say on it. Maybe it'll get an evolution I'll like?
Also hoping Bounsweet evolves into something cool. It's a cute pokemon.
That's really all I have to say at the moment. There's a lot of discussion about the IV strengthening system, it's a little overwhelming since I was late lol. I had to backtrack quite a bit to see what was going on.
Anyway, I'm hype!

Yeah, now that I think about it, this change is going to make RNG abuse in the older games obsolete. That's probably a good thing for the franchise, but as a veteran RNGer myself, I can't help but feel sad about it.
On the bright side, I can finally use the Jolly 28/31/24/5/27/30 Qwilfish that I caught during a playthrough of Colosseum in a serious match without dying a little on the inside. Already knows Swords Dance too.
You can already do that with Gen 3 Mewtwo (since he learns it from the Move-tutor in Pokémon XD)?
So I was watching the video again and when I got to the Hyper training part, I noticed that all the stats went up at once. So either there's different types of bottle caps that do different stats, or every bottle cap raises each stat.
Either that or it's just a cut in the footage, but the top screen doesn't have a weird cut or anything, so it looks entirely possible.

But, much like Ability Capsules, Bottle Caps can just be hacked in.
Smogon Wi-Fi during Gen VII.
"I'm looking for someone who can clone my Bottle Cap for me, please! You can keep one for yourself."

But at that point why not just use the hacking device to modify your Pokémon's stats directly
Opps, I forgot about Cottonee! thanks for the reminder

this is the day of the expanding man
Why would anyone even hack in an Ability Capsule instead of just genning one with a different ability? Hacking isn't meant to be part of the game, so don't claim it makes an item less valuable.
