You can also allegedly get them in the poké-coal mine on the Pelago, but I've yet to see it happen. I've gotten them from both fishing and the lottery place multiple times though.

You can get golden bottle caps from the Treasure Hunt, but they're pretty rare. I've done around 15-20 hunts and only gotten one.

Another good way of farming bottle caps is fishing. If you use the bubble spot in the Steelix boat you can farm them pretty efficiently, according to one goon at least.

Garchomp still exists, doesn't it? That's in the same speed tier as Nihilego, which is far faster than the other 2. And Nihilego has no counter to Garchomp anyway. The best it manages is a 3HKO with Sludge Wave, whereas Garchomp murders it 5 times over with Earthquake. And Dugtrio's faster than either of them, and has a solid offensive presence now. Nevermind that everything and it's mother gets Earthquake anyway.

Ways to get bottle caps:
Festival plaza lottery.
Haunted house.
Find shards via Isle Aphun and trade them to the old guy in your festival plaza castle.
Fishing apparently.
Battle Tree.

And if you really want to grind bottle caps, you should read this dicussion: https://m.reddit.com/r/PokeMoonSun/comments/5f9x25/how_to_get_bottle_caps_guaranteed_for_the_price/?compact=true

I actually got a gold bottle cap from doing Isle Aphun's Level 3 rare treasure finding. Its worth doing every 12 hours for that small chance.

I've hatched so many eggs trying to get one. So many eggs. Worst part is I'm not even trying to get it for myself, a good friend always wanted a shiny Umbreon named Eclipse so I've been trying for the past 2-3 days for this thing.

I just traded for a dratini named Mickie James. It gave all my Pokemen the Pokerus. Which of you was it.

Having pretty good times filling out my Pokedex, I got a Horsea early on and I've been pumping out Horsea eggs to trade for basically anything I don't have. Earlier I got a Magmortar for a Horsea :coal:

I'll keep you in mind if I hatch one of my own, I'm actually not that interested in Shiny Eevee (almost none of their evolutions besides Umbreon and maybe Sylveon look good as Shiny)

Again a very likpatous story
Finally, a Goomy from Route 17! Started playing today and it turned out to be the very first call for help the Panchan put out. That was lucky.

It seems like Pancham calls only Goomys as their weather SOS, at least, it was a Goomy both times Pancham called and something other than Pancham/Pangoro appeared. Does this mean Pancham can't call Castforms, or is it just RNG and happened to pull Goomy both times?
