The latest Pokémon Go update is live and not only has it changed the Research Breakthroughs to include Entei, but the research tasks found in PokeStops are now themed after Fire types.
New updates and events normally facilitate the changes in Research Tasks and that's the case in September. Starting Sept. 1 at 4 p.m. EDT, Pokémon Go players will be able to catch an Entei after a Research Breakthrough is claimed.
Research Tasks from PokeStops will also change, allowing for new Pokémon encounters. The August Research Task update included two new Shiny Pokémon to the game, Snubbull and Houndour. Reports state that Shiny Growlithe has now been added to the game. A third Spinda pattern was also added to the game.
