So here are my two cents:
-It won't be a new Eeveelution (sadly) or any new relative to Pikachu because as others have said before, the starters are unable to evolve. GF would be out of their mind introducing a new evolution to either of these two and not let the players evolve their starter into said new form. Secondly, they specifically said it's ONE new Pokemon, so it would be unbalanced. A new Eeveelution but nothing for Pika or the other way around? Nah, I don't think so.
-I think the new Pokemon has nothing to do with the 2019 movie, because they are in full swing of pre-release period for Gen8 when the movie is announced. The new Pokemon will be old news by then.
-The datamine from Quest shows 808 Pokemon, but the new Pokemon doesn't have to be #808. Since LGPE likely won't have any direct connection to either Gen7 or Gen8, the special Pokemon can be any Dex# in the new roster.
So I think it will be a Gen8 Pokemon akin to Zoroark as preview for the new generation, but also something especially tied to Pokemon Go. PGo will likely be the only way to obtain the Pokemon for some time.
