The EX Raid time reflects the time of your original raid. So if a 6pm raid triggers an EX Raid pass then the EX Raid will be at 6pm.

Where are you getting this information from? Because I really don’t think that’s correct.

When we had our ex-raid, it was at the same time as many others all over the country. It also included people who had raided at that gym over a certain period, not just those who turned up to one particular raid.

Caught about 5 or 6 Mudkips this morning, most of them with Pinap berries, which was a lovely boost of candy. However, this happened too which was a bit gutting! Ran on the first ball Angry

Gym not gum!

Murinae · 09/01/2018 22:50

It also helps you get tomsilver/gold
On the gym and therefore have more items each time when you spin and more chance of getting an ex raid pass for that gum

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 09/01/2018 22:44

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires Yep, it’s been possible for a long time now Smile

However, it’s not really worth it; more a waste of berries. Motivation goes down relatively quickly anyway and you can only use ten at a time, so if someone is determined to kick them out it will just be a waste. It’s a tactic that worked well in the old gym system, but not so much in the new one.

What is a good trick though is feeding nanab berries (because they are rarely ever used anyway) to a Pokemon in a gym that you want more candies for, because there’s a small chance that you’ll get a candy by spamming that Pokemon with berries.

So when I was desperate for Oddish candy I chucked an Oddish in a gym and spammed it with ten nanabs in the hope of getting a candy.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 09/01/2018 22:31

Just remembered this...I found out that you can feed your fellow gym holders' pets to boost their CPs.

Our ex-raid (a few months ago) was a Sunday also, but I was working so I gave it to a friend in our Pokemon group, as did a few others.

Murinae · 09/01/2018 21:59

The first raid was on a Sunday

Murinae · 09/01/2018 21:59

I had to leave early today as I had an “appointment” at 5 Wink

Bimblesalong · 09/01/2018 21:47

We’ll done on the mewtwos . I feel I ever get a raid pass, I reckon I’ll be at work. :(

cottonwool125 · 09/01/2018 21:37

My Snorlax has been stuck in a gym for 6 days now. It's only him and one other Pokemon stuck in there! Must be a very quiet village for Pokemon players Confused I've got others, but he's my powered-up 'mon and I want him back! -stamps feet-

Murinae · 09/01/2018 21:33

This one was the park war memorial

Murinae · 09/01/2018 21:33

Our first one was a memorial in Sainsbury’s carpark!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 09/01/2018 21:30

Murinae Yes, our group regularly does the same. Just no luck since the last one!

Although our last ex raid wasn’t in a park, but at a historical plaque.

Murinae · 09/01/2018 21:25

So our group did targeted raids on one specific park gym over a few days and we got the pass

Murinae · 09/01/2018 21:23

@whattodoaboutthis2017 we did raids on one of the gyms in the park. Apparently 20 different people raiding after a certain day in the week on one gym in a park (doesn’t have to be the same day) can trigger an ex raid. It works for us.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 09/01/2018 20:27

That’s great, Murinae. The majority of us at our ex raid a few months ago unfortunately didn’t catch it, so we’re waiting for another opportunity.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires Ahh no worroes Smile

Dillite2 · 09/01/2018 20:26

I have finally levelled up to level 34!!!! Now another 6 months until 35.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 09/01/2018 20:09

*What do you mean? What problems are you encountering with your Pokemon after raiding?

I haven’t noticed an issue.*

It's ok now, I've sorted it, I was trying to use a potion instead of revive "crystal" I'm bloody stupid aren't I.

Murinae · 09/01/2018 19:53

We had a catch rate of 8/10 and only 10 people with passes this time. The first one I did in October there were about 30 there

Murinae · 09/01/2018 19:51

I got mine too

Has everybody had a problem with reviving monsters/pets after raiding?

P.S. I've sorted out the problems re:- raids & parties Grin due to my 9yo explaining everything in detail to me. Smile
