So Celebi apparently has Causality Manipulation listed on its page for "Creating a causality loop and summoning alternate Celebi from dying."
There are a bunch of holes in this.
Firstly, while I can buy Celebi's ability to create a Time Loop, a time loop is not equal to a causality loop, which ties together cause and effect to achieve a result. I don't recall any instance of Celebi using a causality loop in any scene of the movies it appears in.
Second, the scene where dozens of other Celebi come to revive the movie's Celebi disregards one key fact: there is more than one Celebi. As shown in the movie series that this feat was taken from, a different Celebi appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusio, and Bulbapedia (which does extremely extensive research on the subject) states that "many other Celebi from past and future came to heal their friend." in the scene this logic is taken from. Thus I don't believe it was summoning its alternate selves at all.
Third, Giratina's justification for this is "Whatever it does in the Distortion World, is reflected in the Pokemon World". This is a voodoo doll ability, not the manipulating of cause and effect.
Thus I don't think any of these Pokemon, Arceus included, should have Causality Manipulation unless there are feats I don't know about.
