Fresh off the heels of releasing the Johto region's Mythical Pokemon, Celebi, through
Special Researches which started on Monday, August 20th,
Pokemon GO's Official Twitter page released a statement about the upcoming Field Research Task reward Pokemon in the form of the Fiery Legendary Beast,
Entei. Following through with the Johto region theme, this will be the second month featuring a Legendary Beast, as August featured the Lightning-type Raikou.
The in-game announcement which was taken from a screenshot by reddit user

Pacific Daylight Time). In the post it also goes on to say that there will be special Fire-type Pokemon themed field research tasks for the month, the full details about said tasks will come after the start date.
