Having already discovered Gen 3 Pokemon in the game files, fans have found more evidence that suggest that Niantic is planning to introduce new Monsters soon.
The latest Pokemon Go news has come directly from the new update released by Niantic, which has now been datamined by players.

But what wasn’t listed were the new additions to the game files connected to Gen 3 Pokemon.
Reports from leading dataminers have confirmed that nearly everything is in place to launch a big Pokemon Go Gen 3 update in the near future.
The Pokemon Go files now include all the forms needed for Gen 3, a big more forward for those hoping for some kind of launch around the upcoming Halloween event.
The only thing missing appears to be sound files for the Gen 3, which will be needed to replicate their in-game cries.
This means that gamers can look forward to Gen 3 Pokemon being released very soon.
There’s always the chance that Niantic will hold back on this launch until they feel it necessary though.
Pokemon Go trainers are still testing out the new EX-Raids with Mewtwo, although that is more of an elite endgame activity.
A Gen 3 release would be available to everyone and could even inspire players to head out before the winter sets in.
There have been rumours that an assortment of new Gen 3 Pokemon could be released as part of the upcoming Halloween event.
Last year’s Pokemon Go Halloween event was the first seasonal event ever to hit the hugely popular Niantic game for Apple’s iOS and Android devices.
In 2016, the Pokemon Go Halloween event launched on October 26 and ran through until November 1.
If history repeats itself, you can expect a similar launch and end date this year.
When it came to rewards, Last year Pokemon Go trainers taking part in the Halloween event 2017 were able to earn even more precious candy.
They also got double the rewards for catching new Pokemon and then transferring them to the professor.
