Steps to catch Deoxys in Pokémon GO

To get one of the rare EX Raid Passes you need to have won a fight in a normal raid. But this is only possible in some gyms, which carry a special label.

Another interesting detail is that, once you get the EX raid pass, you can invite another trainer friend to participate in future raids.

It is also recommended to analyze the hours with the most raids in those gyms to try to participate in them.
