Hopefully, the developers did not venture into that territory with their version of DigiXros... Fusion-mons are cool on paper, but nightmarish in reality. Imagine how imbalanced the metagame would be with a hybrid pseudo-legendary.I'm going to caution against suspecting this too strongly only because flebebe exists.
So Geodog shares a secret with the starters? Alchemy evolution!

That was barely a form. Also where are you getting the alternate forms?So Solgaleo and Lunala have alternate forms Rising Phase and Full Moon Phase.
Better than Xerneas getting one while Yveltal gets shafted tbh.
They already have Kyurem for fusions.Well they added mega form so might as well go for broke and take fusion too. I mean hey, they took Whisper from Youkai Watch to so all bets are off. All that,s left are pokemon raised from stone disk and we'll have Monster Rancher covered too.
They are called phases, the scans are in the bulbanews article.That was barely a form. Also where are you getting the alternate forms?

The simplest reason is that GameFreak probably creates mechanical figures for the Pokemon before they ever start designing their actual appearances. So some time ago, someone probably said "we need a simple rock 'mon that the player can find here, here, and that place".
Then at another point someone (or more likely several someones, I am not privy to the inner workings of GameFreak) may have decided to go with a dog design for some reason. Probably, it will make more sense once we see what it evolves into and what moves it can learn.
I will admit I also initially assumed it would be a Normal type, or dualtype Normal/Something at most, just because the more overtly mammalian/real-world-analogue Pokemon often are (not always, of course).
I'm actually quite happy to be proven wrong though. Some more type diversity among early game 'mons (which these look like though I suppose they're not necessarily) can only be good, mind you it is a type we've seen before on this kind of Pokemon, but I think of it as an encouraging sign.
Synergy Burst, Mega Evolution, Iwanko acts as a pseudo-starter, or all four are Walking Pokemon with that feature re-introduced on a more limited scale from HGSS are the most popular theories I've seen.So anybody want to take a whack at what they think the secret is revolving around the Starters and Iwanko is?
