In the core series games

As with all other Team Star bases, Cassiopeia delivered a declaration of attack on the Caph Squad's base under the player's name prior to their arrival at the base. As a result, Eri herself attempts to defend the front gate to stop the player from infiltrating the base, eventually conceding to her friend Carmen to retreat and have her take over instead. After entering the base, the Team Star members inside will begin a Star Barrage, sending out various Fighting-type Pokémon. The player must Auto Battle with the first three Pokémon in their party. The player can heal their Pokémon by talking to Clive or interacting with vending machines scattered across the base. Defeating 30 Pokémon in 10 minutes will allow the player to confront Eri.

After completing ★ Starfall Street ★, the player can initiate a Star Barrage rematch by ringing the bell at the gate. The new objective requires the player to defeat 50 Pokémon in 10 minutes, and Eri will reward the player with LP upon completion. Additionally, once a day, Eri will offer to rematch the player.

In Take a Breath, Hohma visted the Caph Squad's Base in order to get an exclusive scoop on Team Star. He was allowed to enter the base after pretending to be interested in joining the group. During an impromptu training session with Eri, his Quaxly evolved into Quaxwell. After seeing how friendly Team Star members acted with each other, he decided to abandon the scoop.

Pokémon Adventures

Scarlet & Violet arc

Caph Squad's Base first appeared in the Scarlet & Violet arc, where a group of Team Star Grunts planning a revolt against the team arrived there, along with Scarlet (who had disguised herself as Penny), whom they had kidnapped due to considering her a potential threat to their plans and hid in a tent. Eri assumed they had brought in a new recruit, but the Grunts claimed she was sleeping after a long journey. Scarlet's Tarountula managed to snatch a Rotom Phone from one of the rebellious Grunts, but was discovered by Carmen, who was then, in turn, found and captured by the rebellious Grunts after seeing she had found out about their plans through the phone.
