invasion of gobakhan / anim Pakal
Anim Pakal spawned one Gnom token that attacked this turn,
but Invasion of Gobakhan didn't put a +1/+1 counter on it.

No, that token was created attacking. It never attacked. To attack, a creature has to be DECLARED as attacker during the declare attackers turn based action.
508.4. If a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, its controller chooses which defending player,
planeswalker a defending player controls, or battle a defending player protects it’s attacking as it
enters the battlefield (unless the effect that put it onto the battlefield specifies what it’s attacking).
Similarly, if an effect states that a creature is attacking, its controller chooses which defending
player, planeswalker a defending player controls, or battle a defending player protects it’s attacking
(unless the effect has already specified). Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of
trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”
