number of times raided at a gym for ex pass.

The window for ex raid invitation seems to be the 5 days before the raid (so niantics "recent" was very recent) but does anyone know if raiding multiple times within that 5 day window increase your odds or does raiding once put your name in the draw and that's it?

note i am note talking about badge level i am talking about raiding every day for 5 days verses raiding once the day before.

Nope. I raid the gym right next to me every other day and still didn't get the ex raid pass for it.

Raided twice at a gym (with my wife) on Friday evening and Sunday afternoon (today), Groudon on both occasions. I caught the first one. She caught the second one.

She got a pass on Sunday evening, I didn't.

Why 5 days?
Not 7?

And by 5 days you mean Wednesday to Sunday?

i thought I saw it on one of the sylph road things at one point that most passes are handed out to people that had raided in the proceeding 5 days, could be mis-remembering though.

just recall on the sylph road surveys questions regarding how recently you'd raided on the ex raid gym but no question as to how many times in the last recent time period. to clarify whether you should just raid once to put your name in the draw or whether there is any advantage to raiding multiple times (whether the ticket is generated per player per raid or per play per time period).

'5 days before the raid'...I am not sure where you got that from.

Part of it I think is if you are in a group and when you perform that raid. 6am bad; 6pm ok; 11am-2pm best.

Is it that you mean 5 days before the invitation is handed out? If it is that I am with you.

I was a frustrated player who raided 60 Groudon and got 0 pass.

Until just last week, I received a pass for tomorrow ex raid. Also, just a while ago I received another pass for 16th Jan.

After having done homework over the tendency of receiving an ex pass, I found the trend and could predict which gym to raid for the next pass.

Each week the invitation will be given out on different gyms, not repeating on the gym of the previous week. Also the time that you raided the park matters, Niantic probably choose a raid from the week and random some players who participated at the raid.

The time ex raid will be held is highly correlated with the time you raided the gym.

What I have seen from the passes is that, the earliest ex raid is no earlier than 11am, so raiding in the morning gives no merit. And raiding right before the invitation handed out is a definite plus.

PS. All of these are my personal tips based on my observation.

EX invite for 10:45 was received for doing a raid about 09:30 during a raid to raid to raid situation with a large group. So, don’t give up on raids before 11:00!

just trying to work out if it is worth raiding a gym multiple times during the week or if this is no more effective then hitting the gym once.

I have tried that once, having raided every single round of raid bosses spawn at the anticipated gym in the park.

Result? My wallet dry out of passes without obtaining an invitation.

I recommend you raid each of the anticipated gyms once a week. It turned out a pretty well for me.
