Next week, on June 23, the GO Pass and the GO Pass Deluxe for Ancient Recovered will be available in Pokémon GO globally. There will be plenty of legendary Pokémon to catch, as well as access to the ‘Gold Bottle Cap,’ which will allow you to train your Pokémon even faster.

You can earn the Gold Battle Cap by completing the GO Pass Deluxe: Ancients Recovered, and it’ll allow you to start ‘Hyper Training’ with one of your Pokémon, as long as it’s a Good Buddy or higher level. You can use this to fully upgrade all of one of your Pokémon’s stats or just one of them. But this is a one-use item and sure to be very limited, so trainers will have to think wisely about who they’ll want to Hyper Train with if they earn the Gold Bottle Cap.

The normal Go Pass: Ancients Reward limited-time progression track will be available for everyone for free on Monday, June 23, at 10 AM local time. However, the GO Pass Deluxe, which is required to complete the Gold Bottle Cap, costs USD$ 19.99.
