It's pretty clear the majority of Pokemon fights are meant to be kayfabe/pro wrestling shit.

Or you have moves like EXPLOSION which sound epic but don't have the Pokemon actually blow up, or a level 100 Gyarados using Hyper Beam which will never kill a level 1 Caterpie.
It's all just entertainment and sport with creatures that are maybe slightly stronger than real animals who can do some sparkly effects and maybe occasionally real magic like Kyogre summoning rain clouds. This is why troon tier srs mode storytelling from the newer games doesn't work, none of this shit is that real
Tl;dr 1 trillion lions vs 700 pro wrestler types results in the lions winning, sorry.
