Bottle caps and Gold bottle caps they are the best friends of Pokémon Trainers who have reached the endgame and want to hypertrain their Pokémon to max out their IVs. And because in Pokemon Legends ZA there is no breeding mechanic, this is the only way to get Perfect IV Pokemon without problems.
But Bottle Caps are quite few and can only be obtained through Mable's Research and Rewards for some missions. However, with the release Mega Dimension DLCthere is a new method of farming bottle caps that will give players as many of these items as they want. Here's how to grow them efficiently and in a short amount of time.

How to Farm Bottle Caps and Gold Caps in Pokemon Legends ZA
First, we'll mention the old method for those who don't own it Mega Dimension DLCwhich consists of completing the game and participating in Infinite Royale. Some of the rewards for completing the final match can be bottle caps or golden bottle caps.
This final match between players and one of Lumiose's top rated trainers can be done by traveling to Quasartico INC every time players have exhausted their battle points. So at the end of the day it's a slow and painful method.
Now, for the fastest new method that is exclusive to the DLC, players must progress further with the Hyperspace Lumiose Survey missions until 3/4 star hyperspace battle zones they start to appear.
Enter these Distortion of combat zones (the red ones) and challenge the hyperspace trainers inside. Players must search Hologram trainerswhich are easily recognizable. They will have stronger Pokemon, so prepare for a tough fight.
Upon defeat, these trainers will have a a yellow dialog box will appear above their heads. This means they are going to give players an item as a reward for defeating them. These items can either be multiple bottle caps or a single gold cap.
The best part is that these hologram trainers reappear in Distortion when the player travels to the center of the map represented by Hoop's Dimensional Portal. Travel there, reset, look for hologram trainers, defeat them, collect bottle caps and repeat until time runs out.
There are several things to consider before trying this method:
-
Bringing donuts with high level and power items will guarantee players to get more rewards and be able to easily overpower the Hologram Trainers.
-
There is a time limit based on the calories the donut has. Keep in mind that level and calories are two different stats and some berries give more calories and less + levels and vice versa.

Talonflameand train them to have speed and atk to end fights faster and increase bottle cap management efficiency.
The most effective method to farm them really fast is to try to surprise these trainers (similar to the normal combat zones in Legends ZA). Players need to be fast to do this, so using Pokemon like Lucario (especially Mega Lucario Z) and Talonflame will help them a lot because they have a lot of high priority moves.
