It'd make sense. One of his hints was some kind of fire/solar flare around the end of the dex.

My theory is that the new UBs are based around common phobias like needles, confinement and clowns.

Nihelego is at least partially based on Medusa (pun because an adult jellyfish form is called a medusa) which explains the rock/poison typing

Stakataka really should have been Rock/Ghost or Steel/Ghost.

Let's face it, knowing GameFreak, their lore isn't that deep and that GF probably doesn't care about their connections to one another.

Blacephalon has a head, it's just detached at all times.

One is explosive, associated with destruction. The other is an assemblage, associated with construction.

It would’ve been soooooo easy to make Stakataka a Ghost type for conceptual parallelism.

I wonder if it was a Xurkitree counterpart? They feel similar to me.

Catch rates are identical, the number you can catch in SM are the same, and they mirror the other in pic related.
