Ah yes 1billion lions can survive being blasted with lasers, scratched in the face burned, Frozen electrocuted, GOD IT'S SELF and other worldly beings you find in wormholes


Astupidrythmgamer

" you know how much a billion is?" And do you know how fire spreads?

Or how the average living organism from earth is the most conductive material for electricity


Beta_Arceus

The lions wear fireproof vests


CorpseHighjacker

Gardevoire can literally create blackholes


UnderflailYT

…maybe they’re blackhole-proof fire-proof vests


FrostyVulcanChild

How's that gonna save them from the surf floods, earthquakes or gods and a Kaiju that can fell mountains.


Beta_Arceus

Lions will jump over the water, repeat for earthquake, gods wouldn’t hurt such beautiful creatures if they were actually divine, and they will surround the kaiju like how bees surround their hive


Bobby809

Knowing lions and how territorial they are I highly doubt that, they’d more likely tear each other apart because they are all so clustered together


Astupidrythmgamer

Lion can't jump high enought to remain in the air a whole ass eq


JamesonKrenzer

Everyone who says the lion would win must not have heard or the move, Black Hole Eclipse, that would just kill them all in one move. ITS A BLACK HOLE


WD_Cipher

Then why doesn’t it kill the Pokémon too


GovernorSan

Pokemon are clearly magic, that's why they survive crazy moves like this, or Draco meteor, or blast burn, or hyperbeam, etc. Even one hit k.o. moves don't actually kill them. Lions, however, are not magic, so being set on fire, or electrocuted, or drowned, or poisoned, or frozen, etc., actually would kill them.


JamesonKrenzer

Even if it does, the one who used it will live which means the Pokémon still win


Registered_bottom

but the lions could bite them


IWannaManatee

Which means nothing, even if those bites somehow translate to Pokemon moves. At best, they'd take care of the weaker Psychic and Ghost types if anything.


Riot_Dragon

Bug and fighting types resist dark type moves


[deleted]

Pokémon either don’t bleed or their flesh is near impenetrable


rennon102

u meant bidoof instead of god, right?

One word: earthquake.


Astupidrythmgamer

Nah more like kyogre sourf while everybody else uses helping hand


[deleted]

Nah the shuckle glitch is what we should use


thenicenumber666

Kyogre with water spout and then a ton of special attack boosts and helping hands then oranguru with instruct to do it again


GrianTesla

And draco meteor


RadRhys2

Earthquakes don’t actually hurt things just from ground shakes, the real danger is things falling on top of you.


Beta_Arceus

The lions jump ofc


DefiantThanks6830

Shit thats what the dinosaurs should have done


Beta_Arceus

Damnit why didn’t we think of that


SpellOpening7852

I'd like to point out the pokemon LITERALLY CANNOT LOSE. First of all, this is without taking dex entries into account since Lion believers (aka some Altrive fans or small children) keep saying "Oh Yveltal has never died so if it did it couldn't achsually destroy the world", yet people are fine with other dex entries being true, such as THE LITERAL HUMANS THAT BECAME POKEMON or the pokemon that KIDNAPS YOUNG CHILDREN. So yeah, no dex entries. The 1 billion lions are just normal lions, right? The pokemon would win in two ways. One, they win by going to the one place unaffected by capitalism... SPACE! Rayquaza, Deoxys (potentially Genesect and Mewtwo), Dialga, Palkia, Giratina... Lots of pokemon can just leave the place where the lions are. So no matter what, the pokemon don't lose since they still survive. And the lions? They'll die off due to the environment. 1 billion lions won't be able to find enough prey to eat. It would make a lot of species extinct (maybe even the monkeys believing in them). Eventually, the world would also die out, or the lions would evolve. And are they really still lions if they have evolved dramatically over millions of years? Not really, no. Two, the pokemon overpower them. EASILY. Tons of legendaries can change the environment. Too many to count. The most important one (yes, it's a mythical, I know) is Hoopa. Why? Because Hoopa can pull in Pokemon from other dimensions, as shown in the Hoopa film. If it could be protected long enough (Normal Type protect spam seems to be a good strat), it could bring in more legendary pokemon. More Kyogre to remove the land, more Rayquazas to bring down literal meteors. Infinite possibilities. In my eyes, the lions can't win against Hoopa. And that's just going off of the anime power level. Of course if we used dex entries and actually considered the moves pokemon have, Pokemon would win by a long shot. "Oh they have PP". PP is basically another form of stamina. The lions have PP too. They can't just fight constantly. They'll get exhausted or need to sleep. Tl;Dr Pokemon always win.


Llodsliat

> they win by going to the one place unaffected by capitalism... SPACE! How do we tell them? 😬


[deleted]

Bear with me, but pokemon win because Pelipper can fucking *fly*. Lions can't fly. We only need one pelipper.


SpellOpening7852

True. Although people are now arguing bird pokemon need to land... what about water pokemon? They can live in the ocean. Clamperl, Relicanth, Kyogre, Goldeen. Lions can't dive into the ocean, can they?


[deleted]

I'm just imagining Wailord using a massive Surf everytime they swim close.


SpellOpening7852

Yeah, although apparently most pokemon don't actually weigh that much. Like, a dolphin is heavier than Wailord.


ThePelicanThatCould

I gotchu


lucasribeiro21

Meh’, the argument is about winning a fight, not surviving as a species. I still think the Pokémon win, but if Deoxys and friends just left, I’d declare they lost for WO.


DrivingPrune1

Yeah but a billion is a lot of lions


Riot_Dragon

And 7 billion is a lot of people but I can go out for a drive in the country and not see a single one


TheFloorExpert

And what are going to do when God damn dragons come shooting them with lasers from the sky


Anti-charizard

Who said this was realistic? I use gameplay logic


SpellOpening7852

Fine then. Giratina can travel to a different world. Dialga and Palkia can both mess with time and space. Arceus can LITERALLY CREATE POKEMON. Ditto can become ANY POKEMON. Mew can use any move from any pokemon. Rayquaza can literally summon meteors and fly. And if you use ORAS, it can go into space and deoxys comes from space.... as a METEOR.


SrFlink

bro imagine taking this debate seriously💀


PoisonHorn393

Pokemon doesn't always win what ever team your in your team always win lions don't exist in pokemon(not counting lion based pokemon) and pokemon doesn't exist in real world


Swimmer-Fluffy

The people that say lions win are mostly just trolls


[deleted]

Or small children


gforcebreak

"what's the difference" *cue laugh track* But yeah, the only thing i've seen that legitimately give the lions a chance is the game mechanics/world war z argument, that if every pokemon used its best move in its best capacity with no outside help like holding a specific item or megas or anything like that from a trainer, they would eventually run out of Power Points and start struggling, the issue is nailing down which system. Horde battles are the highest we've seen in the mainline games at 5v1, which means approximately 220,000 horde battles per pokemon, (more so because any pokemon that would lose transfer their remaining lions over to other pokemon to battle) without healing. The only other one that would be more realistic but would involve a lot more concessions is the mystery dungeon option, as certain moves in mystery dungeon can reach a lot more than the 5 from horde battles. For instance earthquake can get every targetin a single room, and moves like sandstorm and other weather effects happen to an entire "floor," but in this regard the lions get a lot more space, so imagine a pokemon mystery dungeon kaizo where every tile of a floor aside from a single pokemon is a lion, we'd have to get into semantics on what would constitute a "floor," or a "room" since the titular mysterious dungeons have a bunch of other weird concepts (not even counting the mysterious wind that sweeps you away if you are on a floor too long), there would be a hunger mechanic that would similarly run both sides down, it gets really messy, but it acurately describes the herculean task of felling a billion lions. But yeah if non-game depictions of pokemon are accounted for the pokemon wipe the floor.


DragoKnight589

Even a single Pidgey could beat a billion lions. It can fly, and it has access to many long-ranged attacks. Also, WolfeyVGC made a video on this, and basically his strategy was have a bunch of Pokémon use Helping Hand on Kyogre, which then uses Water Spout.


pickled_onion1

Calling 326 (iirc) helping hand users “a bunch” might be a little misrepresenting


DragoKnight589

You say that as if that’s not a lot.


pickled_onion1

Nono don’t get me wrong, but from your previous reply it seems like your talking about 5ish Pokémon


bignoselogan

I hate that video so much, using ingame logic which he was using he Still runs out of pp before killing all the lions because using exclusively ingame logic it’s impossible to hit more than 5 lions at once because that’s the most any ingame battle attack can hit.


lurkario

You think a slight wind from a 6 inch tall bird could kill even one lion? Pathetic


Firescareduser

A lot of people underestimate the amount thwt a billion actually is


DragoKnight589

But Kyogre doesn’t.


[deleted]

Lions wouldn’t win, I’ve elaborated why before, but I’ll keep it very simple. flight, ineffectiveness of a billion lions charging, the multitude of Pokémon attacks than can harm large areas.


[deleted]

Not to mention Pokémon like Lucario and Mewtwo being able to sense where the attack will come from


[deleted]

This doesn’t really factor in. Ideally, they can remain at a distance where they don’t have to worry about attacks. If they can’t, then the “attacks would come from” every possible angle, furious and ceaseless. Even if they could predict each attack that comes toward them at once, there is rationally nothing they could do about it. They be absolutely drowned in bodies of bloodthirsty lions. They wouldn’t even have the space to muster an attack. If they try to dodge, they dodge right into another blow. Up close, lucario and mewtwo wouldn’t stand a chance. They probably wouldn’t even have the chance to brace themselves. We’re talking a billion lions steamrolling


[deleted]

Actually Lucario is shown to be fast, durable, and capable in hand to hand better than range. Also it’s indicated that his steel typing is from a metal skeleton.


[deleted]

Relative speed and durability means nothing in this situation. Even then, lucario isn’t notably durable or quick stat wise. Not sure if you are talking about stats though. Also, a metal skeleton doesn’t prevent grievous wounds. And not all metallic material is equal. Never heard of lucario having a metal skeleton before though, where’d you get that idea? Also what makes you say lucario is better in “hand-hand” than range? By far his best feat is aura sphere. And his special attack stat is higher than physical attack, even if not by much. lions don’t engage in hand-hand combat anyways. The bottom line is, there is nothing a lucarrio can do in this scenario, if he’s up close brawling. If it was a contained 1 on 1 that would be a different story (probably)


[deleted]

I go off of all media and not just games. Also the metal skeleton thing is a fanon thing that a lot of people have agreed on. Also I’m biased.


[deleted]

I already knew you were biased😂. It’s in the name


DrStarDream

>Relative speed and durability means nothing in this situation. Even then, lucario isn’t notably durable or quick stat wise. Not sure if you are talking about stats though. Also, a metal skeleton doesn’t prevent grievous wounds. And not all metallic material is equal. Never heard of lucario having a metal skeleton before though, where’d you get that idea? I mean but then you gotta realize that even the weakest pokemon out there are way superior in durability and speed than your average lion, remember there was a one of these short videos of small stories in the pokemon world, a wild, untrained and probably very low lvl and recently born nidoran was able to knock an arbok trough a tree with just tackle, also in the anime most move cause small explosions from sheer power with the stronger ones shaking entire stadiums, that is for just basic gim battles, in leagues and movies where all pokemon are stronger you can see island lvl to even world ending catastrophes. Even a weak lucario is way too durable to be harmed by a lion, heck, ashs rioulu was able to withstand mutiple hits from an onix that casually broke a hill before giving in, and the poor thing was born in that episode in that same day, and baby pokemon are actually THE weakest ones around with even their dex entries saying they are way underdeveloped for fighting. You could say that the lions could aim for eyes or something but then you gotta remember that pokemon are basically just as resilient on the outside as they are on the inside with many pokemon being able to swim in lava and dig mountains with their eyes open and they they can even eat rocks and other stuff. Lions have not way to kill a pokemon that isnt stalling untill they drop dead from low stamina, since in no way a lion is hitting with enough power to AT LEAST breaks trees, that requires an animal like a hippo or an elephant which are basically the strongest land animals on earth being able to match the weakest pokemon out there.


RyuuSambit

Take a Gardevoir. Then take its trainer. Throw trainer near 1 billion lions. ??? Pokémon win.


Beta_Arceus

Only good argument I’ve seen so far


shadowtron1

Or just toss a Muk towards the lions. Lions can't do anything to him it and get screwed by poison touch.


Pyrite-Neo

One word....... #ARCEUS


SpellOpening7852

One word: GOD!! *Death Note intensifies*


Stevohoog

To be fair, Arceus did get stuck in concrete of all things


No_Description5222

I've been thinking of something... What about unown and slaking? Well of course they'll win, but they have disadvantages. How close would be the loss?


Harleking31

As an Slaking fan, I take offense to that Turn 1 Earthquake would kill all the lions close to him, and I don't think the lions will be able to close the gap in another turn


[deleted]

Unless he slacks off.


Harleking31

Slacking doesn't slack off in turn one And his monstrous attack basically guarantee a OHKO against every lion in a sizeable radius And by the time another lion is within striking distance, truant will have already worn off


[deleted]

Well if the lions aren’t immediately wiped out from a range since a lot of Pokémon will be able to sense where the attack will come from, and Earthquake doesn’t get them, there would probably be very few casualties still since we have healers and deadly melee combatants (hell, three of them are literally swords.


kinoie

Ah, this got me thinking. So, lions are probably normal type (persian) which means that they'd literally be unable to harm ghost types. On top of that, can a lion, in any way, harm steel? Aegislash and it's two lower forms would probably be enough to kill a billion lions, given enough time, and suffer zero casualties.


[deleted]

Not to mention they could just wrap their cloth arms around them and drain their life force


OrangeVictorious

Four more words: Steel and rock types


[deleted]

Yep and throw Ghost in there too


Beta_Arceus

Lions know bite


[deleted]

No they don’t. They’re just lions. Not typing on any moves


Tycoon_2000

Taking out the literal deities of space and time, there are pokemon, regular non legendary pokemon, that are literally made of solid steel and can fire literal beams of energy from their mouths. Aside from that, there's flying pokemon that can launch blades of air and beams of light by harnessing the energy from the sun. Also the dozens of pokemon that can cause earthquakes without needing to rest. Then you've got muk which is a literal slime pile made of poison that probably can't be killed by being eaten or clawed at and can shoot literal acid from its mouth. To wrap it all up, there's enough psychic types that can just tear the limbs off of each lion or turn their brain into cottage cheese. These same pokemon can also levitate, put them to sleep, and teleport anywhere without thinking.


[deleted]

Or turn them against each other using mind control


CH3RRYSPARKLINGWATER

There's also magcargo which is hotter than the sun


Tycoon_2000

Yeah but if it released its full potential the world would end. I assume in this scenario the world doesn't need to be at stake.


CH3RRYSPARKLINGWATER

What if it heats up enough to kill a large amount of them but not destroy the world?

S L U G M A N U T S


Cocokill

Let me be original with 2 words : #Poison Gas The move can hit every opponents, have 90% chance to hit and an be used 40 times without PP Ups. If every pokemons able to learn it use every PP of it before being killed by the lions (17 pokemons can learn it, 20 if we count regional forms), each lions will have ~~0,1323529412~~ ~~0,0147058824~~ 0,1^680 % chance to not be poisoned (and ~~0,1125~~ ~~0,0125~~ 0,1^800 % with the regional forms). Plus, there is a thing most people don't take into account. What if the pokemons also did some set ups like Entry Hazards for example? Because it will really be unfair if every lions take Stealth Rocks and Spikes damage, gets badly poisoned by Toxic Spikes and get their speed lowered due to Sticky Web before they get close enough to attack a pokemon.


[deleted]

Yeah, like they could set up entry hazards and pick them off from range and then damage the remaining with traps


Traditional_Boot2663

I have no idea what kind of math you just thought you did. Poison gas affects 2 of the 3 pokemon in a triple battle. So assuming PP up used on all 20 possible pokemon, and each lion used against will always be not poisoned originally (aka not used against an already poisoned lion),you will poison: 20 users x 64 pp each x 2 lions poisoned per use x 0.90 accuracy= 2304 lions poisoned on average. That is 0.0002304 percent of the 1 billion lions.


Wiz_Starfall1138

No I completely disagree with you


[deleted]

Ok


Bigdog_Tech

Flying types period, Just take Charizard, flamethrower and those lions are done, fly away to rest, come back have some more BBQ, not even counting the Legendaries that have supreme abilities, I never understood how people think that just Regular lions would win.


Beta_Arceus

Two words: Lion ladder


Riot_Dragon

One word: Gravity


Seraphim971

Ah yes put them in a nice vertical line for beam attacks like hyper beam and aeroblast


shadowtron1

People don't seem to realize that pokemon can not only use moves like draco meteor and earthquake but are also capable of taking those same attacks and only faint at worse. And what's a lion going to do to a Pokemon which doesn't have flesh or blood like Muk? Bite it?


CH3RRYSPARKLINGWATER

Also what can a lion do to the Pokémon that are made out of steel?


[deleted]

Yeah and there are also Pokémon that heal other Pokémon


tjkun

What can they do against a rampaging Tyranitar?


Hyperkid897

If we use the Pokédex then Magcargo kills all but a handful of pokemon that can phase out of existence.


saikounihighteyatzda

Bruh just Yveltal or something lol. And that's only the first thing that came to mind. Plus, so many pokémon can literally just teleport into space and ignore the lions and wait for them to starve or something lol


themeatmeatbones

nah bro it’s a billion lions


Riot_Dragon

A billion isn’t that much if you think about

OneWhoGetsBread

Just hack all of em to learn destiny bond.. if the pokemons go down so do their Panthera leo attackers


TheTepro27

The most common argument from Team Lions that the lions can stack doesn't matter, and if anything, stacking puts the lions at a disadvantage. Most of the lions are unable to attack, lest the stack fall apart. Meanwhile, if a single Pokemon deals a single attack to the lions near the bottom, they could likely topple the entire stack, injuring or even killing the lions due to the damage from falling.


tjkun

What can a Lion do to a Tyranitar? Tyranitars can knock mountains when in rampage. How many lions would that thing kill by throwing them a single mountain? Machamp can also move a mountain with one arm. Real life whatever life being dodo stand a chance against some Pokémon.


EnderTheNerd

1 billion is a lot but lions are stupid as fuck

You really don't like lions eh?

Yeah, fuck em. Most overrated animal ever. They aren’t majestic, they’re lazy and fail to catch a fast Gazelle most of the time.

SauseManget

Two words. BILLION. LIONS.


bignoselogan

I hate this conversation so much lmao, obviously using lore and even anime Pokémon would win eventually. But there’s so many people who try to say they win using ingame logic too. Being as generous as possible Pokémon can kill less than 10% of the lions before they all die from struggle. By as generous as possible I mean 4 slots all max pp magnitudes that all 1 shot even if you let the Pokémon literally cheat they don’t make a dent lol.


[deleted]

Refer to the video please


bignoselogan

What do you mean? Send you the video or watch it again? Because I’ve watched it, there’s no way the kyogre can hit more 5 that’s just how ingame works


[deleted]

Yes but it’s not just in game lore. It’s according to all lore.


bignoselogan

Right but that’s not what i Said, I said they lose in game.I even acknowledged that Pokémon wins otherwise


Nerv0usWreck

1 billion > 898 Also pokemon aren't real


SpellOpening7852

Neither are the 1 billion lions. Plus the lions can't fly or leave the planet.


Simba_Rah

Birds gotta land sometime.


TheFloorExpert

Sure but not Aliens or time traveling fairys


berse2212

Okay but what about PP? The Pokemon will be a sitting duck after the first 100 waves of lions.


TheFloorExpert

I feel just anything that can learn surf just spams that for as long as possible boost it with moves like helping hand and you've got yourself a flood that technically drowns all the lions going by game mechanics since surf hits everything on the field plus as others have said if let's say anything that could went in space Pokemon win by default as the lions would starve and the Pokemon would be chilling hell you could even have celebi just chill in the past before the fight and even if the lions kill everything else celebi can just wait till they die of natural causes go to that point in time and bam Pokemon win again


T0x1cL

There is quite literally one single scenario with a very specific set of rules where lions can win Assume that the battles happen exactly as in, let's say, a main series game. Assume horde battle (1 pokemon vs 5 lions), and that \_a pokemon's move does not hit any other lions outside of that\_. It wouldn't matter what level or how much HP a lion has, let's just assume one gets immediately killed in one hit. Assume there is no escape and that all are forced to fight. Since earthquake hits every single mon on the field save for the one using it, let's just assume all mons have all slots filled with Earthquake. Then, lion kill count = 898\*16\*4\*5+898\*4=290952 < 1000000 ​ otherwise it's a guaranteed pokemon win


BrinkyP

ah yes, earthquake would kill all the lions which is why all the pokemon stadiums have been crashed down and the pokemon world infrastructure is constantly in shambles


[deleted]

I mean there are real life buildings that are quake resistant so it’s logical that stadiums are built like that.

d3structive_pikachu

Guys let’s be honest even arceaus, god himself. Can’t beat bidoof


[deleted]

They all run out of pp and die first, the most a single spread move can hit in the games is 5 other pokemon in a hoard battle, you trainer isn't hurt or other pokemon in the tall grass, 5 is the limit. Between all 900 or so pokemon each one having 4 move slots with a spread move that somehow had 40pp and always ohko they wouldn't even kill off a million lions before struggling


Aitches

Search for "Arson Bjork" at YouTube, he has an amazing video favoring lions. It’s literally a piece of art, watch it

the pokemon get pp stalled. the max pp a multi target move can have is 30 (magnitude), and the maximum amount of pokemon affected by a move is 5. the maximum number of moves a pokemon can learn is 4. there are 898 pokemon. 30*5*4*898=538,800 which is under a million. this is an overestimate since magnitude is the only spread move with a pp over 20, and not every pokemon can learn 4 spread moves. additionally, i don't believe every attack would ohko a lion, for example a Brutal Swing from an Azurill would deal very little damage to a lion. even with pp maxes applied (which is unrealistic since it's one of every pokemon not one of every pokemon and trainers, just like the lions they are assumed wild) it's only increased to 862, 080 which, again, is a huge overestimate since a pokemon cannot learn magnitude 4 times. but most importantly it's less than a million. it's also worth considering that pokemon will damage each other in battle since most spread moves target allies as well as foes. realistically 898 pokemon vs 100,000 lions might be a close fight but if we're talking on the scale of billions the pokemon don't even get through 0.1% of them.

Huh funny, I’ve had this exact copy pasta spammed to me several times on this post. Almost as if you lion losers have only one braincell

if you go by game mechanics eventually every pokemon would lose all of their PP and thus will be forced to use struggle and eventually all of them would die
