The Entei Link
The ex★ series was announced on 31 August 2026 with a teaser of Raikou, Entei and Suicune, each in its own element. Entei appeared in fire.
The other two names filed alongside it match the other beasts: Impact of Lightning for Raikou and Ripples of the Aurora for Suicune. The filing itself names no Pokémon, so the Entei link is a reading of the name, not a confirmation.
