Why didn't Lillie just keep a ditto transformed as Nebby

Dittos are hard to find on Melemele.

Because its a children's handheld game and rational problem solving would mean there wouldn't be a plot

>>32415195
Cause 11 year olds aren't known for being smart

She said she doesn't like seeing Pokémon get hurt. So why would she use a Ditto as a decoy, knowing that it'll most likely be subjected to god knows what kind of experiments, assuming the Aether Foundation are too stupid to even realise it's a Ditto?

>>32415195
Cuz why would a goddess such as her subjugate to the time and trials of finding a Ditto in Alola?

What she should have done was buy a second bag and give Aether the one Nebby wasn't in

if the ultra beats were such a problem why didnt the guardians just kill lusamine?

Quads confirm, this would work flawlessly.

Better question
>Didn't use a Pokeball to avoid Nebby from being seen period
Why? Not like using Pokeballs = Being a trainer, they're like leashes.

>>32415195
Because she wasn't Lusamine. She didn't even like seeing Pokemon battle and get hurt when they were having fun, why do you think she would put an innocent Pokemon in harm? Actually, no one would, not just Lillie. No sane person would do such a heartless thing.

"There are two possible reasons why she didn't. First is how her mother treated Pokemon left her scarred. Bringing in Pokemon, keeping them confined, experimenting on them and freezing them alive. A kid not even 10 year old being exposed to this isn't exactly going to be ecstatic about the idea of confining a Pokemon in a Ball. That's the same reason she didn't like Pokemon battles. She's seen enough Pokemon being hurt.

The second reason could be that Nebby didn't want to be caught, or for whatever reason, it simply wasn't possible. Lusamine also hadn't caught Nebby. Keeping it stored would be easier in a Ball, but considering Lusamine didn't, it's likely it wasn't possible. Might have to do with Nebby being an Ultra Beast, or maybe just always breaking free of Balls. Whatever the reason, it's likely that catching Nebby simply wasn't possible. Even if it was possible, if Nebby didn't want to be caught, Lillie wouldn't catch Nebby. She didn't want to force Nebby into anything.

So either or both of these reasons. "

Catching a legendary in a ball places heavy limits on what it can do outside of battle.

That's why Team Galactic needed the Red Chain to control Dialga and Palkia.

That's long since been retconned.

>>32416176
There's nothing really confirming that. There's been no example. Consider Galactic have been wrong before about things they believe, and we don't know where they got this information from, since they shouldn't have any experience catching Legendaries, we can't exactly just take that at face value. Especially consider how certain Legendaries have been shown using their power even under a Trainer's control, like Nebby being able to easily travel between worlds. In fact, in the very next game after Platinum, we see a caught Celebi time traveling and a caught Arceus CREATING Legendaries that rule Space, Time and Distortion World.

So yeah, Galactic was just being retarded. As always.

Why didn't they just use an Alolan Marowak?
