Sina and Dexio from Pokemon X and Y are Aroace

Pyroar is probably for Lodge Lysandre somewhere down the line.

People have convinced themselves that Wattson’s coming with Manectric down the line, but that’s doubtful, considering Masters operates on ORAS standard. That said, Juan has to come at some point, and he’s Emerald-only, so Manectric is entirely possible considering the Frontier Brains.

Only thing I can think of for Ferrothorn is a Rose alt, but he just got a BP unit, so it’s a bit too early for that. So it’s more likely him using Ferrothorn in an event stage featuring him. Ditto for Steven and Armaldo.

Maybe Forretress is coming with Lodge Koga down the line? I believe he’s the only major Trainer who uses one.

Diggersby’s the toughest to pin down, being an early-route rodent that literally nobody uses. I’m thinking… Holiday Clemont. Maybe he finds himself missing Bonnie and Hoopa warps her to Pasio (she probably gets Dedenne since multiple canons give it to her, so why not Masters?).

And I guess I’ll predict the November pairs while I’m at it:

Sygna Suit Elaine and Mega Mewtwo X (Fighting-type sync move)/Sygna Suit Chase and Melmetal to coincide with the High Score Event. Green appears as an NPC.

Dexio and Espeon/Sina and Glaceon for Eevee Day, with Bill and Dynamax Eevee as a F2P pair.

Ethan and Leafeon/Dawn and Glaceon, since they’re the last of the protagonists who would’ve received a gift Eevee.

Penny in the Lodge.
