New Pokémon have been steadily released into the wild world of Pokémon GO ever since its launch a couple of years ago; while initially only allowing trainers to catch (most) of the original 151 creatures, the game now features a healthy collection of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and even Alolan Form Pokémon. Now, it appears that another small wave of creatures are about to be added to the game, too.
Dataminers from The Silph Road have been digging through game files to uncover new sprites for upcoming monsters. As you can see below, regular and shiny sprites for Smeargle, Celebi, Jirachi, Nincada, Ninjask, Shedinja, Clampearl, Huntail, and the four different forms of Deoxys have been found, suggesting that they'll be making their debut appearances soon.
We already knew about Celebi - players attending the Pokémon Go Fest 2018 in Chicago this weekend will be able to get their hands on the mythical creature, with everyone else being able to complete a special research quest shortly afterwards to earn it instead - but the others are still yet to be officially announced. Datamine efforts for Pokémon GO have proven to be very successful and truthful in the past so we expect to hear more about these creatures in an official capacity soon.

Where’s Gorebyss?
What on earth are those humanoid Pokémon on the last line? They look like they are from a terrifying dystopian future!
@Arpie It's Deoxys and its different forms (Normal, Attack, Defense, and Speed). It's from the 3rd generation, first appearing in Ruby/Sapphire 16 years ago.
*Clamperl, not 'Clampearl'
@Krisi thanks for the heads up, last game I completed was Silver and since then I've only played the first 1/3 of X so I've a lot of catching up to do. Still now I know who to avoid when taking a stroll out late at night!
Would Deoxys evolve or will they class it as A single Pokemon but many versions like castform
Deoxys is awesome
I want Gen 4 so I can evolve some of my Pokémon.
I am looking forward to seeing how Niantic will incorporate Smeargle's moveset and Ninjask & Shedinja stats and evolving in the Go universe.
Enough with the dataminers and with NintendoLife encouraging piracy and theft. Same on you. Everyday, NintendoLife tranforms more and more into a B category website.
Smeargle and Shedinja! Nice!
@Cosats Datamining encouraging piracy and theft?
I guess news shouldn't talk about crime either for "promoting crime".
Its reality dude. If you don't want to see it look away cause believe me most poke-sites and mobile gaming news sites share news like this. Much like any local news station is going to share about the latest shoot out or robber. Do these sites ever say "try it yourself with these easy steps?" no.
And datamining isn't necessarily bootlegging either.
@Cosats yeah. It's weird. It's like a change in focus and it's hurting their image, I think.
Datamining as its being used here is a pretty light shade of grey at worst. Name another product that it would be "improper" or illegal to take a microscope to once you paid for it. Its a bit like saying that you can't buy/rent a movie and then freeze frame and zoom to find interesting bits in it. No one is stealing anything, it does not expose a potential cheat and it isn't a mod to give an advantage. Its just a peek under the hood.
