Good question . The simplest answer is it is pretty clear she ' s been experimenting for a while , and they had enough data on ultra beasts for beast balls to be completed before the megaportal event . If we assume the minorportal nihilego event was not captured , she had to either get it beforehand or after she went through the portal . The latter is plausible , and takes away her excuse , but the former makes a lot of sense as well . The international police mention this isn ' t the first UB incident , IIRC , and talk about them like normal pokemon . It ' s really up to you to decide how messed up she was before , though . <| sep |> I ' d imagine that the fact that sacramentality has been basically obliterated in some Protestant denominations , along with the complete death of the commemoration of the saints , to be much more shocking for the Fathers rather than prideful lack of communion , since many of the Fathers did in fact live to see large schismastic bodies like the Montanists and the Donatists .
