HOLY SHIT

MAGEARNA IS THE PROTECTOR TOTEM OF THE ARTIFICIAL ISLAND

It's representing the top part of a totem pole, faggot.
Probably the rest of the Island Guardians will represent other totem parts as well.

She doesn't, shes an event Pokemon whereas the guardians will more than likely be in-game captures.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kauai#Island_facts

>Kauaʻi is home to thousands of wild chickens, who have few natural predators, as the mongoose was never introduced in Kauai as it has been on other Hawaiian islands. Kauaʻi's chickens originated from the original Polynesian settlers, who brought them as a food source. They have since bred with European chickens that have gotten free from farms and cockfighting breeders.
