Other event-wide spawns
Habitat Pokémon were not the only increased encounters. The event archive also records event-wide spawn increases for costumed Pikachu, Basculin on Routes, and Zorua appearing for two minutes every hour. Unown spawns were boosted when attracted by Incense. These were event-specific effects, not current spawn rules.

Black or White badge: what the choice affected
Special Research let each Trainer choose a Black Version badge themed around Reshiram or a White Version badge themed around Zekrom. The official Tour: Unova update says the choice determined certain rewards and bonuses. It also specified a Kyurem outcome tied to the matching raid: with the Black badge, Kyurem encountered after defeating Black Kyurem in five-star raids would know Glaciate; with the White badge, the corresponding condition was defeating White Kyurem.
