Whatever their job is, Affleck leaker could also seen some other source, like trailers, videos, etc. I don't see any reason to believe that they played the game itself. I also don't think that someone who didn't get too far in the game would know that much information regarding many different things.
But they didn't know much information though. The only thing they knew that looks like should not be something someone that didn't get far would know were info about Eternatus (which could be revealed early in the game for the player), and about the Gigantamax Forms (what could be revealed by the title screen intro).
They also thought that Zacian and Zamazenta were the same Pokémon, and knew the name of one of them only (probably the one from which they played the version). If they had seen any official extra-game stuff, they would have known they are not the same Pokémon, despite their similar appearance.
There is also the fact that they suspiciously remember Sobble better than the others, which may indicate that it was their starter, and that they only saw others when battled with rivals.
