⚔️Raid Dens
Raid Dens are special PvE challenges where players battle powerful Pokémon for a chance to catch the boss after winning.
There are two main raid types: Tera Raids and Dynamax Adventures.
You can challenge raids solo with NPC allies or open a public/private lobby with other players.
Tera Raids
Tera Raids spawn naturally as Tera Raid Crystals throughout the world.
These are focused boss encounters with Tera Types, difficulty tiers, level scaling and scripted boss actions. Tera Raids let you bring your own Pokémon.
Tera Raids are built around one main boss fight. Win the raid for a chance to catch the boss.
How Tera Raids work
Find a Tera Raid Crystal in the world
Interact with it to view the raid
Choose whether to challenge it solo or with others
Pick a Pokémon from your raid team
Defeat the boss before the raid ends
Catch the boss if you win
Tera Shield
Once the boss activates its tera shield, it will take reduced damage for that portion of health. In order to take it down faster, this is the point you should be terastallizing. Terastallized-enhanced moves do more damage against the Tera Shield, even more so if it's a STAB move!
If a Pokémon is blocked from raids, the menu will tell you why. This can include blocked Pokémon, moves or abilities.
Dynamax Adventures
Dynamax Adventures are longer raid runs unlocked after beating the final Gym Leader.
These adventures include lobbies, path voting, encounters, events, final bosses and Dynite Ore. You can choose to use rentals or bring your own Pokémon.
Dynamax Adventures are not single boss fights. They are full runs where your group moves through a path before reaching the final boss.
How Dynamax Adventures work
Unlock Dynamax Adventures by beating the final Gym Leader
Start or join an adventure lobby
Vote on which path your group should take
Battle through encounters and events
Reach the final boss
Win for a chance to catch the final boss
Rental and Bring Your Own Adventures
When starting a Dynamax Adventure, you can choose whether the run uses rental Pokémon or your own Pokémon.
Dynite Ore is earned from Dynamax Adventures and can be used for adventure related options.
Public, Private and Solo Play
Raid Dens can be played in different ways:
Solo: challenge with NPC allies
Private Lobby: play with invited players using your raid team
Public Lobby: open the raid so other players can join
Use /raiddens team to set up the Pokémon available for private lobbies and bring your own adventures.
Use /raiddens lobbies to view public Tera Raid and Dynamax Adventure lobbies.
