Pokemon Go Adding New Gen 3 Pokemon As Research Reward

Instead of bringing back Kyogre, Groudon, or some other previous Battle Raid boss, Pokemon GO’s November Research Breakthrough is adding Shedinja to the game. The Gen 3 Ghost/Bug-type is brand new to Pokemon GO and its appearance has players guessing that the two preceding members of its evolution family are also going to arrive in November. This means that players may finally be able to fill in Pokedex entries 289-291.

Here’s a look at the official teaser announcement…

The in-game news alert about November Research also pointed out that some Field Research quests for the month would feature Bug-type Pokemon. Time will tell, but some players believe this hint could mean that Ninjask and Nincada are going to be Field Research encounter rewards. So far, Niantic has not confirmed that theory.

November is only a few days away, so the community should have answers to all of these questions by this time next week. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!

Pokemon GO is currently available in select regions on Android and iOS devices.
