Headcanon: Caught in Chargestone Cave and intended to be used against Skyla, but because of its low stats, he never wound up actually using it in battle, and thus it sits in the box.
Headcanon: Encountered and caught on Route 7 only because the Cubchoo kept following him in hopes of getting food, and Cheren caught it to make sure it wouldn't follow him somewhere it could have gotten hurt. He doesn't use it ever because it's an Ice-type, and way too cold for him.
Headcanon: Caught on Route 5 and intended to be used as a Psychic-type for his main team, but he decided against it after it was caught because of its low speed.
Headcanon: Caught during a (Black/White) Swarm on Route 7 because of its type. Used only as a Pokemon for Gym Trainers and Students to practice with, not in any actual battles.
Headcanon: Caught during one of Cheren's (very, very few) trips to the Giant Chasm to investigate the sudden temperature drops and Team Plasma purely because of its type. Used primarily as an instructional Pokemon because it reminds him of the cold, and because it's too pink for his tastes.
Headcanon: Caught in Castelia City, intended to be used in battle, but eventually became more of an instructional and practice Pokemon for the Gym, because Cheren would have wanted to evolve the Eevee if he actually used it in serious battles. And because the students and Gym Trainers were rather attached to the Eevee.
Headcanon: Given to him as a gift from the Season Research Lab while he was borrowing their equipment to research the cold weather phenomenon associated with Team Plasma's appearances, as they had too many Deerling to take care of there.
Headcanon: Caught in Pinwheel Forest after accompanying the Player Character. Doesn't do much with it aside from occasional training, as it's too aggressive to use as an instructional Pokemon.
Headcanon: Caught purely because of its type during one of Cheren's trips to the Giant Chasm. Not used in battle, and really only used to teach Students and Gym Trainers about other Pokemon without needing to have the Pokemon in-house.
Headcanon: Caught in the Dreamyard purely for instructional purposes. Jigglypuffs are small and cute and thus popular with the students and Trainers. Jigglypuff, however, would prefer to be left alone or used in battle than to be spoiled by the students.
Headcanon: Caught during a trip with Alder to the Nature Preserve, partially because he liked its typing, and partially because Alder encouraged him to catch it.
