I’m not sure if I’m misreading you here, but Lucario never appears as a Rogue Mega. It helps you out in the tutorial against Rogue Mega Absol, but that Lucario is loaned to you by AZ and later given to you as a gift in the post-game, which, incidentally, does confirm that AZ got it from Korrina, with it even having her OT.

and to top it all off, that overhyped* dumbass dog has spent the past 12 years pretending it's korrina's ace when it isn't even on her gym team! poor hawlucha...
*i actually think lucario is pretty cool im just saying this for the bit
also, i admittedly haven't beaten the game yet, but i thought the letter you got with az's lucario was implying that it was the one korrina gave to calem/serena during x and y, no?
That’s how I read it at first, but I think the fact that the Lucario’s OT is Korrina and that AZ’s letter specifies that the Trainer who gave it to him was a “her” suggests more strongly that it was Korrina, not a definitively canonical Serena.
On a somewhat related note (minor spoiler about the XY Legendaries), I guess we should assume that the protagonist of XY opted to release Xerneas / Yveltal sometime in the five years since then, considering they were a mandatory capture in those games but are free-roaming and able to be caught here. Far be it from me, a staunch believer that there are very few to possibly no “one of a kind” species, to suggest that there can’t be multiple Xerneas or Yveltal in the world, but I think Z-A is very much implying that these are the same ones that Team Flare dealt with.
Superpower isn't in Z-A in general, and it knows Stored Power in the other games. Based on the stats it'll probably have Contrary
Contrary still kind of doesn't explain what the hell they're doing with its stat spread, however. Unless, of course, they decide it deserves Overheat and/or Psycho Boost...
I mean, all three are extremely stupid (at least for now) but I'm not sure the newer two really compare to Audino. Malamar still has some chance if they give it decent moves (and even if they just give it Superpower back, it will just keep doing its Malamar things), Pyroar is terrifyingly boring and needs either some excellent ability or a last-minute stat change (+10 Satk/Speed and -20 Atk would put it in Mega Lopunny territory), but even if it doesn't get anything new, it would still do Pyroar things. I think the only actual 100% joke Mega is Audino because it essentially has no ability (even in Doubles) so it's a literal nerf. Sure, they could buff Healer to be a decent ability, but it's been ten years already and nothing.
(Also speaking of Megas and good abilities: just like Mega Gengar stole Shadow Tag from Chandelure, Mega Chandelure could now close the circle and steal Levitate from Gengar lmao)

is there any info regarding the odds of a pokemon spawning as an alpha?
Serebii lists most of them being 5% for the random/non-100% spawns from what I can tell.
https://www.serebii.net/pokearth/lumiosecity
Serebii's alpha page says some spawns range from 5-40% though:

EDIT: Also I've heard people say alpha fossils are apparently 1%.

Isn't it strange no one hacked Diancie nr Mewtwo Mega Stones to show their eventy? People were hacking Mega Kalos Starters since day one...
Also, is AZ Floette coded as a Legendary?

"Project M" for Mewtwo's event is craaaazy lmao
I believe this is correct, Pumpkaboo's inherent form sizes can all still come in S, M or L sizes (and XL) - I had a Jumbo who was M sized for that sidequest involving it.
Has anyone noticed how crazy some mons might be if they get to keep the new moves they obtained? Such as Earth Power Pyroar/Meowstic, or a physical Blastoise with Iron Head
Honestly, those strike me as more likely to stay than a bunch of Let's Go or Legends Arceus specific moves.
Then again, Scizor got Close Combat out of LA, so, quite likely. Seriously hoping they don't remove Ice Punch from Feraligatr beyond this game tho, been running that for 25 years.

The move pool additions aren't so crazy IMO, some are much needed and give them a bit more coverage that's desperately needed, I can see them staying.
I can't see Iron Head making a huge dent in Blastoise's viability tbh it's the possibility of a shell smash Mega that should be the conversation
I know Roserade can make better use of Technician now that it has a better Ground option being Mud Shot. Didn't Ampharos gain Dragon Claw?
I have seen others report the same, that Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist of all form varieties can have all possible size classifications in this game. It's quite silly, as presumably it will be possible to have a Small variety pumpkin with a Jumbo Mark and a Jumbo variety pumpkin with the Mini Mark someday. It does, however, mean that Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist from previous games should have no complications when transferring in via HOME, as they will already have their own Height/Scale value that will translate perfectly.
What about Alpha pumpkins? Can those be of any variety as well and if so, does their size differ visually? One last mystery to solve...
Did anyone solve the Vivillion pattern mystery?
Pumpkaboo size not matching its size is making me really want to ask this. Is the Biggest "Small" Pumpkaboo bigger than the Smallest "Jumbo" Pumpkaboo? If it's not bigger than Jumbo, what about the Smallest "Large?" (And I have the same questions with Gourgeist.)
I recall seeing Serebii say that each size form can indeed be an alpha. I would assume that they would differ visually, but I can’t personally say that for sure.
There’s not much of a mystery to be solved; all Vivillon in the game are just Meadow Pattern, with the exception of the gift Spewpa you get for doing a side mission at the Lumiose Museum, which evolves to have the Marine Pattern.
I know but is there a glimse of idea if we will be able to get other forms somehow?
Yes, transferring them from Pokemon Home
