I won't speak for Scorbunny because I logged off during SwSh but for SM, I remember people being blindsided by Incineroar because they were too hung up on the idea of Litten becoming a typical tiger, likely because of zodiac theory. That's the issue with the theory, it doesn't look at family lines as a whole.
