Bonuses for all trainers including non-ticketed:

Verizon customers can claim rewards here by:

Downloading the My Verizon app
Joining Verizon Up
Claiming the Pokémon GO reward to generate a code
Copy the code
Follow the prompt to go to the Niantic Labs Rewards site
Enter the code
Open Pokémon GO, where you will receive a notification that you have claimed your reward and a medal will pop up

International players will have other ways to enjoy the event. The event will also be accessible through:

7-Eleven Mexico: https://www.7-eleven.com.mx/pokemon-go
Yoshinoya: https://www.yoshinoya.com/campaign/specialweekend202104/

7-Eleven Mexico players will have Unown S as the featured Unown, while Yoshinoya players will have Unown Y. None of the featured Unown will be available to encounter in their Shiny forms.

Best of luck to everyone getting out there and playing the event. The idea of a Deino feature, in general, is going to be a huge incentive for many Pokémon GO players, so best of luck with that potentially Shiny Pokémon.
