Capsules and Golden caps are the best friends of Pokemon trainers who have reached the endgame and want to put their Pokemon through hyper training and raise their IVs to the maximum possible. And then in Pokemon Legends ZA there is no breeding mechanic, this is the only way to get Perfect IV Pokemon without problems.
However, bottle caps are quite scarce and can only be obtained through Mable's research and rewards for certain missions. But with the release of Mega Dimension DLCthere is a new bottle capsule farming method that gives players as many of these items as they want. Here's how to grow them efficiently and in just a short time.

How to farm bottle caps and golden bottle caps in Pokemon Legends ZA
First we will mention the old method for those who don't own Mega Dimension DLCwhich consists of finishing the game and participating in Infinite Royale. Some of the rewards for completing the final match can be Bottle Capsules or Golden Bottle Capsules.
This final match between the players and one of Lumiose's top ranked trainers can be done by traveling to Quasartico INC every time the players max out their Battle Points. So at the end of the day it is a slow and painful method.
Now, for the fastest new method, which is exclusive to the DLC, players must proceed with the Hyperspace Lumiose Survey missions until 3/4 Star Hyperspace Battle Zones starting to appear.
Enter these Battle Zone Distortions (the red) and challenge Hyperspace trainers inside. Players must look for Hologram trainerwhich are easy to detect. They will have stronger Pokemon, so prepare for a tough battle.
When defeated, these trainers will have one yellow dialog box appears over their heads. This indicates that they will give players an item as a reward for defeating them. These items can be either multiple caps or a single gold cap.
The best part is that these hologram trainers reappear in the distortion when the player travels to the center of the map represented by Hoopa's dimensional portal. Travel there, reset, search for hologram trainers, beat them, collect the bottle caps and repeat until time runs out.
There are several things to consider before trying this method:
-
Bringing Monks with High Level and Item Power ensures that players get more rewards and can easily overpower Hologram Trainers.
-
There is a time limit, based on the calories a 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.
-
Bring Pokemon that
Lucario,
Absolor
Talonflameand train them to have Speed and Atk, to end fights faster and increase the efficiency of farming with bottle caps.
The most effective method to farm them really fast is to try to catch these trainers by surprise (much like in the regular Battle Zones in Legends ZA). Players need to be quick for this, so using Pokemon like Lucario (Mega Lucario Z, especially) and Talonflame will help a lot since they have many high priority moves.
