Pixelmon: Dens

Pixelmon: Dens guide screenshot

Raid Dens are overworld battle sites that host powerful Dynamax Pokémon. A beam or active den indicates an available encounter; the exact activation rules and loot tables depend on the Pixelmon build and server configuration.

Preparing for a den

  • Bring a healthy, high-level Pokémon with super-effective moves.
  • Prefer reliable attacks over low-accuracy gambles.
  • Carry healing supplies for the journey and leave room for rewards.
  • Check whether the den allows allies, NPC partners, or repeated attempts.

During the raid

The boss can use shields or multiple actions depending on the configured raid system. Focus on breaking defenses and surviving the limited turn or faint count. Dynamax at the moment that gives the team the strongest three-turn window, rather than automatically using it on turn one.

After victory

Successful raids can award items and a chance to catch the boss. Choose the ball only after checking whether the server changes catch rates. Clear the reward screen carefully so valuable drops are not left behind.

Mark active areas

Place a waypoint near productive den clusters and revisit them after their reset interval.
