Point still remains that the Beast and Sword Paradoxes *did not* exist. The book clearly states it was the observation of all the other Paradox Pokémon in the expedition, that inspired the drawing. It cannot logically be that they existed at any point, otherwise it would likely have multiple Pokémon actually be recorded, rather than just saying here is one sketch based on all the Pokémon they’ve seen in the lower levels.
It also uses words like ‘envisioned’ instead of ‘seen’, ‘drawing’, instead of ‘sketch’. It uses Fantastical in the description, which means illusory or made up in the mind, the imagination.
