Niantic's puzzle
Between July to, Niantic was posting puzzle clues in social media each day. The answer was a 13-digit code, which was planned to be 14 initially. If a Trainer could solve it, they could have got the prizes on: Niantic Offer Redemption.

On July, Niantic tweeted that they had done a mistake by skipping a clue for the puzzle and they posted a revised list of clues.

After releasing the last clue for the code it was quickly solved and redeemed by few players in mere seconds. The code was UBCJL9X6RC47A and redeeming it would reward player with 50 items in total, which were:

Clues
Each day there was one clue posted from the NianticLabs Twitter account.

As stated in introduction tweet, the first letter of the answer for each clue was meant to be a part of the code. However as it turned out after the puzzle was solved there were few inconsistencies in this statement and the answers for the clues:
 * all numbers in the code were meant to be just digits not first letters of their names as it was suspected by a players guided by the puzzle introduction tweet.
 * answer for the ninth clue was an R which would presumably stand for Rocket, but in all media and the game itself the team from this clue is called Team GO Rocket which should have been either T or G as the answer for that clue.
