• Attack: Battle alongside your trainee.
• Defense: Strengthen your bond with your Buddy Pokémon trainee by playing together, exploring, and catching Pokémon.
• HP: Explore alongside your trainee as a buddy. This can include spinning PokéStops, earning Buddy Candy, or other adventures.

Once you use your Silver Bottle Cap, you’ll have 365 days to complete your Hyper Training. It’s a long and challenging course, but once you complete it your trainee will be stronger than ever!
