Everything else we know about Entei in Pokémon Go
Entei is a member of the legendary beasts - a trio of legendary Pokémon from the Johto region who were created by Ho-Oh.
The other members of this trio are Suicune and Raikou, with Ho-Oh acting as the trio's master Pokémon.
Entei made its first appearance in Pokémon Gold and Silver where, after exploring the basement of the Burnt Tower in Ecruteak City, the player would encounter the legendary beasts. All three Pokémon would quickly run away and begin travelling to different routes around the map.
This makes the legendary beasts the first roaming Pokémon to appear in the series, with the player having to first encounter them randomly in the wild and then use their Pokédex to track their location.
Good luck catching Entei in Pokémon Go!
