There are 99 regular Pokémon dens in Sword and Shield's Wild Area and each one hosts a different collection of raids, some common and some rare. We've rounded up a list of every den and what Pokémon are likely to show up in that den. Since there are multiple dens in various areas of the Galar map, we've assigned arbitrary numbers to the ones in the same sections to help us keep everything straight. There's also a giant den that only activates for special events. It's known as The Watchtower Lair. See which Pokémon you might encounter in any given den.
All Pokémon dens and their Max Raid Battles
This is the only Pokémon game that offers Dynamax and Gigantamax raids. The raids offered in each den differ between Sword and Shield. We'll include the Pokémon that are likely to appear in either version. We also list the Pokémon in order of how likely they are to appear within each den. However, if a den is home to a Gigantamax raid, we list the Gigantamax Pokémon first, even though it's the least likely to appear. Hopefully, that helps you find all of the raids you're looking for faster.
