>>30695505Lycanroc is relevant to Kukui, the third starter makes plenty of sense too, I imagine they wanted to give him an Alolan form so that'd explain Ninetales.
Braviary, Magnezone and Snorlax are a bit more difficult to place. Snorlax, at least, is a powerful Pokémon found near his lab which I can get behind, Magnezone is probably because they wanted to give him an Electric type and again, it's very close to his lab.
Braviary is completely out there.
