Pokémon GO Tour: Unova Global: All in-game bonuses and features

No Pokémon GO event would be complete without a handful of perks and bonuses designed to make players want to dive in and start catching Pokémon. The Unova Global event is no different, and there are several bonuses worth noting.  This event is absolutely crammed with new Pokémon to catch, Research Tasks to work through, Raids to battle through, and of course the ever-important addition of Black and White Kyurem. You’re definitely going to be busy during and after the two-day Unova Global event, but what are the perks of playing during those two days?
