>>58273937With no legendaries, dimension hopping, phasing, or ghosts (or flying capable pokemon as long as the fight doesn't start with the pokemon surrounded), they'd still win. You need an Alakazam to be smart enough to see the obvious and an Oranguru to command to the others more effectively. Simply reach a body of water. This is easy for all the pokemon with speed boosting moves and abilities or really anything above base 100 speed (if the starting distance between them is further apart, then the lions probably can only reach the sub base 75 speed since they only run fast in short bursts). Water pokemon can transport as many as they can carry (not every pokemon is going to survive). Lions have only ever been recorded as swimming 100 meters. Even if they all suicidally drowned to make a bridge, that'd be much slower and it wouldn't stay together. The pokemon probably only need to swim a few kilometers to the nearest island. Pleanty of pokemon have crop planting abilities so they can all live on the island for as long as they need to. They'll only need to for about 16 years as that's the max age for lions in the wild. Ignoring all the catastrophic affects that the hundreds of millions of non drowned lions will have, few may even make it that long. Pleanty of pokemon are based off of creatures with longer lifespans than that.
>but what if the lions reproduced?Well then, that's not the same group of lions that we started out with, right? Those lions aren't part of the competition.
