Pokémon Winds and Waves' Windychu and Wavychu may be other disguised Pokémon
Given that Pokemon winds and wavesThe region is inspired by Southeast Asia, which has many folklore stories and legends where supernatural or divine beings disguise themselves as humans or animals, and it seems likely that Mr. Windychu and Ms. Wavychu are not who they seem. It would also be an interesting take on legendary pokemon since none of them transform into other pets. Mew can, but it's a mythic Pokemon and this isn't exactly woven into its identity like it is with Pokemon like Ditto and Zorua or Zoroark.
As strange as it may sound, there is a strong possibility that Mr. Windychu and Ms. Wavychu are more than just tanned variants of Pikachu donning human clothes.

However, the option is for Mr. Windychu and Ms. Wavychu to be usable in battle and then transform into a Legendaries box through the Rebirth mechanic, unlocking their true forms. It's just speculation for now, but it makes sense when you put all the pieces of the puzzle together, assuming all the leaks so far have been true.
