This afternoon I checked our Raid group chat as there was some Raid activity going on in the city. Then I saw I got a text message from sweppman asking me if I had an EX Raid Pass for today's EX Raid at the Wooden Playground Gym. I told him I didn't have one and then he asked me if I wanted to have one. I said sure Wynaut? When he an invite with his Pass to me he said he sent it and then told me I had about 20 minutes to get to the Gym xD Because that EX Raid was apparently taking place today!
So I prepared myself to go outside and managed to make it to that Gym in time for the EX Raid to hatch. I was talking with him a bit there too. He said that he suddenly thought of me, didn't see me in the list of people attending that EX Raid and then decided to ask if I had a Pass for it or not. Since we already exchanged some before. Next time I have an EX Raid invite for a Gym where he doesn't have one I'll be sure to remember to give him one in return again!
The Raid itself went really well as we were with a big group of people. None of my Pokémon fainted, that's how easily we were able to beat it with this group. I was able to catch this Deoxys from the Raid with the first Premier Ball using a regular Razz Berry. I should've used a Pinap Berry instead for extra candy I guess! It's my 2nd highest CP Deoxys out of the 7 I caught so far. This one has 87% IV.
After this Raid we headed towards the local park with the Wooden Tree Sculpture Gym, where a level 4 Raid was going to hatch. Once everyone was there we waited there for a minute or two for it to hatch. It was an Alolan Marowak, not my favourite but I still did join in that Raid battle to use my free daily Raid Pass.
