# Raid Dens (1 to 6 star)

Team up to take on 1 to 6 star raid bosses at Raid Dens around the world.

{% hint style="info" %}

<p align="center">Raid Dens are glowing crystals scattered around the world. Each one holds a powerful <strong>raid boss</strong>. Team up with up to 3 friends, beat it together, and everyone gets loot and a chance to catch it.</p>

## 📍 Finding a den

* Raid Dens appear across the **Survival** overworld and the End, and in the **Resource World** on the Hub.
* Each den shows how many **stars** its boss has. More stars means a tougher boss and better rewards.
* Every **2 hours**, dens reset and roll a brand new boss.

How often each tier appears:

| ⭐ Tier        | Chance |
| ------------- | ------ |
| ⭐ 1 star      | 12%    |
| ⭐⭐ 2 star     | 20%    |
| ⭐⭐⭐ 3 star    | 34%    |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 star   | 27%    |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 star  | 5%     |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6 star | 1%     |

7 star bosses never appear in the wild. They're event raids: see [Seven Star Raids](/cobblemon-au-docs/events/seven-star-raids.md).

## ⚔️ How a raid works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Start the raid

Right-click the raid crystal to start. Up to **4 players** can join the same raid.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pick your Pokémon

Each player brings **1 Pokémon** and has **1 life**. If your Pokémon faints, you're out, but your team can keep going.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Beat the boss

Raid bosses have a huge HP bar. Work together, and use your **3 cheers** to help your team.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Collect your rewards

When the boss goes down, everyone gets a **Raid Pouch** and a chance to **catch the boss**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
⚠️ Each den can only be cleared **once** before it resets, and a failed raid can't be retried. Bring your best!
{% endhint %}

## 📊 The tiers

| Tier     | Boss level | Boss HP | Catch chance | Pokémon you catch                   |
| -------- | ---------- | ------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| ⭐ 1      | 12         | 6x      | 100%         | Level 12                            |
| ⭐⭐ 2     | 25         | 8x      | 100%         | Level 25, 1 perfect IV              |
| ⭐⭐⭐ 3    | 40         | 12x     | 80%          | Level 40, 2 perfect IVs             |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4   | 55         | 18x     | 70%          | Level 55, 3 perfect IVs             |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5  | 90         | 40x     | 50%          | Level 70, 4 perfect IVs             |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6 | 100        | 48x     | 25%          | Level 80, 5 perfect IVs, Titan mark |

* Every raid boss has a **20%** chance to have its hidden ability, and uses the normal shiny odds.
* **5 and 6 star** bosses fight smarter. At half HP they wipe your team's stat boosts and raise their own Defence and Sp. Def.
* Pokémon you catch from a raid come in their **normal form**. A Mega boss won't stay Mega Evolved.

On 4 to 6 star raids, Cash, BP and Catch Combo vouchers share one roll, so you get at most one of them per pouch.

Tera raids also drop extra Tera Shards.

**Didn't catch the boss?** Your pouch gets a bonus roll: extra EXP Candies and a chance at a **Catching Charm**. Hold a charm in your **off hand** when a boss goes down to raise your catch chance; it's used up. On 5 and 6 star raids the bonus roll can also give Rare Candies, Ability Capsules and Ability Patches. (1 and 2 star bosses are always caught, so they never get it.)

### 🎟️ Vouchers

* **Cash and BP Vouchers:** type **/redeem** to cash in every Cash and BP Voucher in your inventory at once.
* **Catch Combo vouchers:** add +2 or +5 to your current catch combo, the Pokémon you're chaining. Type **/redeem combo** while you're chaining. Your biggest voucher goes first, and it's only used up if the boost works. They can't boost a combo on a Legendary, Mythical, Ultra Beast or Paradox Pokémon.
