Hello and welcome to this death battle. If you enjoy this and want to see more, I might make more of those types of battles.
First is the pokemon side. Now since there are WAY TOO MANY pokemon to go through individually I'll only go over the pokemon that matter the most in this or that are the most brought up when doing this battle. (Cough, cough Magcargo.)
I will also only go through what said pokemon brings that is most valuable for this fight.
And here are some rules for the pokemon.
No mega evolution, except natural megas. Examples are Mega Rayquaza and Mega Mewtwo.
No Z moves.
No regional forms. But regional evolutions are allowed. Examples are Sirfetch and Ursaluna.
No Dynamax or Gigantamax.
All feats are included, games, anime, and manga.
Ok now that's out of the way let get this started.
(Kanto)
Alakazam
This pokemon is said to have an average IQ of 5000! Now this admittedly sounds unbelieve and I don't blame you. For example, Albert Einstein's IQ was said to be around 160. So, 5000, might be stretching it, so I'll leave it up to you to decide if you believe this or not.
But it has been stated multiple times in the pokedex and at the very least it has above human level intelligence. And is said to be able to remember everything from birth till death and is on paired with supercomputers so maybe it really does have an average IQ of 5000.
Machamp
This pokemon is incredibly strong, despite it being a non legendary pokemon. It's even said to be able to move MOUNTAINS! Now I DON'T believe this to be true. One, this feat is not mentioned again in future entries and two this was in pokemon yellow, when pokemon was just starting. So, I don't believe this to be true.
But it still has incredible power and is considered one of the most powerful non legendary pokemon so it's worth mentioning. It can throw punches that have a MEGA TON of forces behind them. To give you an idea of how much power that is, that's enough to nuke a small city. Now you are probably wondering if it could throw punches this powerful, why doesn't it destroy cities everytime it fights.
And that because it is focusing all that power to only affect a specific area. While this sounds crazy it has been shown in other media to be true. One example of this is in Dragon Ball Super, the fight between Vegito vs Zamasu. In the fight both are trying to kill each other but they don't end up destroying the universe, they don't destroy the planet, they don't even end up destroying the city they are fighting in. So this example is to show that forces can be applied to only affect a certain area and not the surrounding. So Machamp can throw punches powerful enough to destroy cities without destroying cities. And this pokemon is not only capable of throwing punches that powerful it can throw a thousand of them in two seconds. And unlike the previous entry of Machamp moving mountains, we have seen it throw a thousand punches in the form of pokken tournament.
Muk
This pokemon is as toxic as it gets. Its body contains toxins that can kill plants just by touching them. So why is it able to touch grass type pokemon and humans without killing them you might ask? Well I think it's because the Muk don't let their toxins get that deadly.
What I mean is pokemon as we have seen before are able to control their powers and natural abilities to an extent. One example of this is with Sharpedo. In the anime we see that Sharpedo are able to control their ability Rough Skin, to avoid hurting Brock and the others. So it could be that Muks are able to control their toxins so that it doesn't kill people or pokemon. But regardless it is still a very powerful poisons pokemon and probably could kill you just by touching it.
Gengar
This pokemon and by extent most other ghost type pokemon are pokemon who are made of souls or are using the power of the dead. Being a ghost type Gengar and other ghosts have the power to manipulate and eat souls. Being a ghost also gives it some immunities to physical contact. Like going through walls or being unable to be affected by punches that don't have elemental power behind them.
Now I said SOME immunities to physical contact, as we have seen plenty of times where Gengar and other ghost type pokemon can touch people and pokemon who aren't ghosts. So maybe it's by their own free will if they decide if you can touch them or not.
Ditto
This pokemon is honestly a wild card. In that it can copy any pokemon or person it sees. So for this fight Ditto can basically become anything it wants. But it should be noted that Ditto DOESN'T become as strong as the one it copies. I highly doubt that if it copies Arecus it's going to be as strong as Arecus.
Mewtwo
This pokemon was cloned to be stronger than Mew and with its mega evolutions it probably is now. Mewtwo is easily one of the stronger pokemon in this battle. Not only is it powerful but it's super intelligent. Intelligent enough to create technology that can clone other pokemon. Something that humans in the real world can't do. (I mean with animals I mean, not with fictional creatures.) Like most psychic pokemon Mewtwo is a master of the mind. Being able to control or erase one's memory. Can even look through your mind to see what you can do. And being a clone of Mew probably makes it one of the strongest psychic type pokemon, stronger than Alakazam.
Mew
Mew is probably the most diverse pokemon here. It can use almost all moves, except signature ones like Arcues's Judgment or Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent. Mew is also copying other pokemon like Ditto, but its copies are probably a lot stronger. Mew is also on the same level as Mewtwo, without megas I mean.
Mew is also the ancestor of all pokemon, (except the gods like Arcues and the Creation trio). So, it probably is millions if not billions of years old. Assuming there is only one Mew. But even if there are multiple other Mews, some of them are probably millions of years old.
(Johto)
Magcargo (So many people have a problem with this pokemon I swear)
Ok I'm just going to answer the big question as to why, if Magcargo can be 18,000 degrees F. Why doesn't it burn the earth if it can be hotter than the sun's surface with the sun being 10,000 degrees F? Well because of one thing people keep forgetting to calculate with Magcargo.
SIZE!
YES PEOPLE, SIZE DOES MATTER TOO. THE SUN IS LITERALLY OVER A MILLION TIMES BIGGER THAN THE EARTH! THAT WHY DESPITE IT DISTANCE FROM THE EARTH ITS HEAT CAN REACH US AND KEEP OUR PLANET WARM.
And if you need proof. Magma in real life averages around 1,200 degrees F to 2,400 degrees F. Some can even go up to 3,000 degrees F. Yet it's still safe enough (Mostly) that you can get close to it without catching on fire. So, does that answer the question I keep hearing EVERY SINGLE TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP MAGCARGO?
Tyranitar
This pokemon is known for its destructive power, being able to destroy entire mountains just to make a nest for itself. It has great durability being built like a tank and hitting like one. It's also a pseudo legendary, making it a pokemon that can go up against minor legendaries and has a chance to win. (What I mean by minor legendaries, are legendaries that aren't world ending threats. Like Articuno or Tapu Koko.)
Lugia
This legendary pokemon is said to be able to cause storms just by flapping its wings. The pokedex even says that it can cause 40 day storms by flapping its wings. Now a big question you might have is if it can cause 40 day storms just by flapping its wings why doesn't it happen all the time? After all, we have seen plenty of times of Lugia flapping its wings, but no storms appear?
I believe this to be Lugia controlling its power, so it doesn't cause harm to others. Going back to my example in the Muk case, as well as the Sharpedo, that pokemon can control their powers, or natural abilities. So Lugias being able to control this power is why they don't cause storms when flying. As in the anime in johto we see a Lugia going mad and causing a big storm when her baby was kidnapped by Team Rocket. It should also be noted that Lugias stay at the bottom of the ocean, so their powers don't cause trouble for others.
Celebi
This pokemon can time travel. We have seen this in both games and anime. Outside of that it doesn't have too much going for it. But the ability to time travel can easily be one of the most broken abilities here.
(Hoenn)
Gardevoir
This pokemon's greatest but admittedly rare (if ever) seen ability is to create black holes. Now first off, I don't believe the black holes it can create are the same as real black holes. Real black holes can suck up planets and stars. So, the black holes it could create aren't the same as the real ones.
And we have seen that other pokemon have abilities like a black hole. Examples are Dusclops whose body is said to be like a black hole and was even able to summon a black hole in the manga. And Guzzlord who has a black hole for a stomach.
Metagross
This pokemon is probably the most powerful non legendary here. It has the best of both brain and brawn. Its intelligence is on par with supercomputers as well as having four brains. Its body is nearly indestructible as in its previous evolution Metang, it's stated that Metang can get hit by a jet plane and not be scratched. So Metagross being a superior form has a much stronger body. It's basically Alakazam, but with a much stronger body.
Regirock
This pokemon despite being made of rocks, is able to tank hits that would be powerful to destroy metal or more. And if this pokemon is hurt it can just use its best ability, being able to repair itself with rocks. Making it a hard pokemon to kill.
Regice
This pokemon body is able to emit cold air that goes as low as -328 degrees fahrenheit. Cold enough that things and people will be frozen solid just by being near it. As to why people just don't freeze to death being near it? Control that's why. Its body also can't be melted even if it is immersed in magma.
Registeel
This pokemon body is said to be made of the strongest metal in the pokemon world. Even stronger than pokemon like Metagross. Making it indestructible, even if it is hit by super effective moves. Like Paul's Nidoking, when it was hit by an Earth Power and a Double Kick, but still didn't go down. And even if it is hurt, it can heal itself with the move Rest. Something that the other Regi have too.
Kyogre
And here we have one of the pokemon that can destroy the world on a bad day. Kyogre has complete control over water and can create oceans if it wants to. This pokemon is easily the strongest water type pokemon in the pokemon universe. (Except Palkia, who is a water type pokemon. But is know for being the god of space rather than god of water.)
Groudon
Here is Kyogre's rival and arch enemy Groudon. Groudon can do the same thing Kyogre can do just with the land. Able to create entire continents if it wants to. Groudon, like Kyogre, is the strongest pokemon of its type. It has also been stated and shown that when Groudon and Kyogre battle their power could destroy the planet.
Rayquaza
And here is the reason the pokemon world isn't destroyed by Groudon and Kyogre continuously fighting. This pokemon is the one that puts Groudon and Kyogre down when they start fighting. It is also hundreds of millions of years old. So it has plenty of experience in battle even outside of Groudon and Kyogre.
Jirachi
This pokemon has the power to grant wishes. But outside of that just like Celebi it doesn't have anything else going for it. And I doubt that it can grant any wish, like wishing it can be stronger than Arceus or destroy the universe. Still it can probably grant wishes that can define reality or did the impossible, like bring back the dead.
Deoxys
This pokemon doesn't really have much going for it, other than it can regenerate and is able to go toe to toe with Rayquaza. It always loses, but the fact that it can even fight Rayquaza in the first place should give you an idea of how powerful this pokemon can be.
(Sinnoh)
Dialga
This pokemon is one of the strongest pokemon in the pokemon universe. It has been in the pokemon universe since the beginning, and is directly created by Arceus making it one of the strongest and oldest pokemon in the pokemon universe.
Its power is the complete control of time. We have seen in the anime, manga, and games that Dialga can use time in any way it sees fit. It can stop time so that only it and whoever it chooses can move while time is stopped. It can send people back in time and probably forward in time. It has also been stated that time began when Dialga was born. And even without its time powers its still one of the strongest pokemon who could fight against Arceus. Even though it as well as the other got their asses kicked by Arceus.
Palkia
This pokemon is the one who controls space. It is like Dialga in almost every aspect in that it is a direct creation of Arceus and that space becomes more stable with each of its breaths. It is equal to Dialga in power. While we haven't seen too much of its space powers, it being the very embodiment of space itself it can probably do whatever it wants with space.
Regigigas
The pokemon is known as the pokemon who can pull CONTINENTS together to form landmasses. Now that's up to you if you believe it. But it has been stated multiple times and while pokedex entries can be stupid or not make any sense. I believe that when it comes to legendary pokemon the pokedex entries are true. As many of the entries of legendary pokemon have been proven true in anime, games and mangas.
Giratina
This pokemon is equal to Dialga and Palkia. And its power is antimatter. Meaning it should be able to destroy anything. Because antimatter in real life has the power to destroy anything that is composed of matter. So, in theory it should be able to destroy anything. But we have seen it not destroy other things or people. Even in the manga when it was fighting both Palkia and Dialga it wasn't able to destroy them. Even when it was fighting against pokemon that weren't gods like it, it didn't destroy them. Personally, if you ask me the reason it didn't destroy the pokemon that it was fighting was because of plot armor. But you be the judge.
Arceus
Here we have the creator itself and the strongest pokemon ever, Arceus. Arceus is the one that created the pokemon universe and the one who created Dialga, Palkia and possibly Giratina. It was also powerful enough to stomp all three of them as if they were nothing. It has the power of all types and anything Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina can do it can do better since it is their creator.
(Unova)
Reshiram
This pokemon was a part of the original dragon. The original dragon was a legendary pokemon that was used to conquer the Unova. But the brothers who used the dragon couldn't decide what world to build so they split the original dragon into two parts, while leaving behind a shell of itself and battled each other with no victor.
Reshiram has the power to scorch the world with fire. Now this could be metaphorically speaking and not literally. But it has been stated that Reshiram's tail can generate enough power to move the world's atmosphere and change the world's weather. So it could literally have the power to set the world on fire.
Zekrom
This pokemon is the other part of the original dragon. It has the power to scorch the world with lightning and is Reshiram equal. So, it being able to scorch the world in lightning is probably literal and not metaphorical. As it would need to have that kind of power to fight Reshiram to a standstill. As well as it being a part of the original dragon too, it makes sense that it could fight Reshiram at all.
Kyurem
This pokemon is the shell that was left behind from the original dragon. As it was split apart by the two brothers, it became a literal shell of its former self and lost most of its power to make Reshiram and Zekrom. Making it weaker than Reshiram and Zekrom but is still powerful in its own right. It controls ice but can fuse with Reshiram and Zekrom to not only gain a part of its power back, but to be able to use fire or lightning with its ice.
(Kalos)
Xerneas
This pokemon is the god of life. It has the power to bring people back from the dead and can give eternal life to people. One example of this is with AZ. He became immortal after using a weapon called the Ultimate weapon. A weapon that needed the power of Xerneas or Yveltal to power it. While this example may not be an incident of Xerneas giving eternal life willingly, it does show that Xerneas or Yveltal can affect life itself.
Yveltal
This is the pokemon of destruction or death in most cases. It can absorb the life force of any living thing. One of its most powerful abilities is that when it dies it will absorb all the life energy and turn into a cocoon to revive itself later. Now it doesn't specify how far it goes when absorbing life energy to turn into its cocoon. But if I had to make an educated guess it's probably the entire region or most unlikely the planet.
Region because if it did absorb all the life on the planet nothing would be left. But some have speculated that it's Xerneas and Zygarde that stop its life sucking power from reaching the entire planet. But you take a guess.
Zygarde
This pokemon is the one that keeps the world's ecosystem in order. It also has many forms but its complete form is the one we'll be focusing on. In its complete form it has the power to surpass Xerneas and Zygarde. Zygarde is actually made of many different cells and cores. This means that each core can act and think independently. It also spreads its cells and cores around the world allowing it to sense danger and quickly deal with said danger.
Hoopa
This pokemon is really just broken as hell. This pokemon can create portals to different places or even different worlds using its hoops. Which at first glance may not seem all that opposing considering all the other pokemon I have covered beforehand, but Hoopa really knows how to use its portal power extremely well.
It can summon anything or anyone it wants with its hoops. Use its hoops to go anywhere it wants or send anything or anyone somewhere else. And in its true form it can bend dimensions to its will. And even without all of its broken space warping powers, it was seen to be strong enough to go up against other powerful main legendaries, like Reshiram, Zekrom, Regigigas and more. So yeah, this pokemon is POWERFUL and BROKEN.
(Alola)
Solgaleo
This pokemon has a vast amount of energy in it. It can use this energy to make night look as bright as day. It can use a move called Sunsteel Strike, a move that has been stated to hit with the force of a meteor. It can summon ultra wormholes allowing it to travel to different dimensions. It also can serve as a reliable source of energy for Necrozma who was able to steal all the light of a world or in a more accurate description absorbed all the light from the world's sun, but it still wasn't enough to sustain itself. Showing us just how much energy could be in Solgaleo.
Lunala
This pokemon is like Solgaleo opposite. It absorbs light turning day into night and converts that light into its own light. It still seems to have its own light as it is stated that it can shower its own light across the night sky. Its attack Moongeist Beam, should have the same power as Solgaleo's Sunsteel Strike. It can open ultra wormholes and act as a reliable source of energy for Necrozma too.
Necrozma
This pokemon is one of the strongest pokemon here outside of the creation trio and Arceus. Necrozma power is light. It needs light to survive so it is always seeking it. It seeks light to also return itself to its original form. Which seems to only be possible with the lights of Solgaleo or Lunala. As it was unable to return to its original form even when it was absorbing the lights of entire worlds. It too can open ultra wormholes like Solgaleo and Lunala.
Necrozma, even in its very weakened form, was still strong enough to fight and overpower Solgaleo or Lunala and absorb their lights. Thus, gaining their power and helping it reach its original form. And when in its original form its body temperature can exceed 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It can also fire laser beams from every part of its body, and these laser beams can go as far as 18 miles away. And in the manga, it was able to fight Zygarde, Solgaleo and Lunala all at the same time.
(Galar)
Zacian
This pokemon has great power and was able to defeat Eternatus with the help of Zamazenta and possibly with Calyrex. Its sword is said to be able to cut through thick dragon scales and its move, Behemoth Blade, is said to have enough power to cut an ocean in two. Given that it was able to hurt Eternatus and all the other powerful legendary pokemon feats, this may not be an exaggeration.
Zamazenta
This pokemon has great defense and helped defeat Eternatus with Zacian and possibly with Calyrex. Its shield is said to be so strong that it can shrug off attacks from sharp claws from dragons. Its move, Behemoth Bash, is said to be powerful enough to bore straight through towering mountains. And with it being Zacian equal it probably has just as much power as it, but in defense form.
Eternatus
This pokemon crash landed into Galar from space and started causing trouble. It caused pokemon to dynamax and go crazy. It would have destroyed the region had it not been Zacian, Zamazenta and Calyrex. This pokemon is the source of dynamax and was used to power the Galar region, as a man named Rose wanted to provide Galar with a near infinite supply of energy.
In its true form Eternamax it can create a storm of dynamax energy powerful enough to warp the spacetime around it. It was also called the Darkest Day by the people of Galar.
(Note: Since I wouldn't have pokemon dynamax or gigantamax the lions wouldn't be dynamax either. As if the lion dynamax they would just go crazy and kill more lions then pokemon.)
Calyrex
This pokemon was the king of Galar. It has the power to see into every past, present and future events. It was thanks to this ability that it was able to see Eternatus's crash landing and teleport an entire forest and all of its inhabitants over night before Eternamax's crash could destroy the forest. It can heal the wounds of others and mend their hearts. It was also called The King of Bountiful Harvests. As it could cause crops to grow with the use of one hand.
It was also able to defeat Glastrier and Spectrier and tame them both to add to its power. With Glastrier it can run for seven days and nights straight and throw ice lances powerful enough to blow holes into mountains and pass through them completely. With Spectrier it can run thousands of miles in a single day and can create dark wisps that can suck the life force and souls of living things.
Now for the lions.
Lions have a bit force of 650 PSI which is impressive because wolves have a bit force of 406 PSI. Lions are known to hunt zebras, rhinos, crocodiles, and so on. They can run at speeds of 35mph and weigh an average of 400 pounds. They are considered apex predators in real life and are top of the hunting food chain.
(I know this is very short, but there isn't much to say for lions combat wise.)
Now the next chapter will be the fight. I will release it in a week. So, feel free to leave your review on who you think will win and why and I'll do my best to answer them, at the end of the next chapter.
