What is hyper training?
Hyper training is an intense training method that will focus on maxing out your Pokemon’s IVs (Individual Values) for one or each of their stats. This will make your Pokemon insanely strong and help maximize their potential.
IVs can be hyper-trained to a max of 31. They are special hidden numbers originally determined when a Pokemon hatches from an egg or is captured in the will. They affect how high a certain stat for a Pokemon can reach and hyper-training is the only way to increase them and the stat cap.
