"EX Passes: Rumours and debunked theories"

#PokemonGO: As we all know, 95% of the player base is struggling to finally get that first EX Pass. There have been a lot of rumours going around lately to how to get one and how not to get one. I think it's helpful to many players to list those and try to debunk as much of them as possible. Of course, by no means do we know for certain what does matter and what does not matter.What does NOT matter?Using ONLY Free Raid Passes or ONLY Premium Raid PassesThread #1 Thread #2What day of the week you completed a raidTSR Finding #7The level of the raid you completedThread #1 Thread #2If you went in a Public or Private lobbyThread #1 Thread #2 Thread #3Catching the Raid BossNeither completely confirmed nor debunked actions that might increase your chancesRaiding one specific (EX-) Gym multiple times in a weekHow many days before passes go out you completed a raid in the last weekTSR Finding #7Level of Gym badgeTSR Finding #2How many raids in total you have completedTSR Finding #3Trainer levelTSR Finding #4How many raids in total on that specific gym you have completed (first timers on a Gym often get an EX Pass)TSR Finding #5The time of the raid you completedWhat DOES matter?Raid on confirmed EX Gyms, gyms that have had at least one EX Raid recently (maybe since field-tests are over?)TSR Finding #1One raid per EX Gym per week is enough to qualify you for that gymRaid on confirmed EX Gyms in different and as many s2 cells as possible to increase your chances (if you focus on one Gym only, you put all your eggs in one basket)Beating the Raid BossI'd like you to add suggestions to this list or debunk something I have stated above if it's false.I'm posting this to try and help those still looking for that first EX Pass and to try to get a few rumours out of the way. :) via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2DRg3Ne
