Saying something is a "separate model" doesn't make any sense here.
The original thing people shitposted over was the Lillie thing wherein the files for the Lillie models were duplicated into various scene folders where she existed, but it turned out that actually was something that made the games load better, not worse.
This is something entirely different though. They aren't using a different Pokemon model, it's the same one that was already loaded into the scene, just scaled up and with extra shit added to it. We actively see it scaling up in the animation, and if you look at them you'll notice they didn't even make a new texture for the larger model, so some of the lines that look sharp on the small versions look blurry blown up like this (like the lines on Weavile's claws here).
People claiming that it's a different model because it an extra model was put under it's hierarchy (the clouds) have no clue what they're talking about. That doesn't make these separate models, it just makes the clouds a part of the already existing object (which includes the model, it's scripts, etc.).
