It looks like LGPE uses the same variant formula as Pokemon GO (unsurprising since these games are supposed to be compatible with each other). I did some calculations based on the master code ripped from Pokemon GO, and matched them up with the with Serebii's [https://www.serebii.net/letsgopikachueevee/pokemonsize.shtml Pokemon size] page to verify:
Every Pokemon now has an average weight/height, and a standard deviation of weight/height. The standard deviation is exactly 1/8 of the average, except for Alolan Exeggutor, where it's 12.6% instead of 12.5% of the height (very minuscule difference, and the height ratio is still the same). (The standard deviations are in the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pokemongo-dev-contrib/pokemongo-game-master/master/versions/latest/GAME_MASTER.json GO master file]). To get the extremes:
max/min_height = avg_height  +/- 3.2 * stdDev_height = avg_height +/- 3.2 * (avg_height/8) = avg_height +/- 40%(avg_height)
max/min_weight = avg_weight +/- 5.6 * stdDev_weight = avg_height +/- 5.6 * (avg_weight/8) = avg_weight +/- 70%(avg_weight)
