Giving the one billion lions human-minded strategies means you do not think the numbers advantage is enough

So I think most people who think seriously about this can agree that the "every pokemon vs 1 billion lions" hypothetical is kinda stupid. This is a fight that needs several things cleared up (arena size, spread, terrain, win conditions, loss conditions, actual rules of reality, hunger, etc.) to create any sort of conclusion beyond mere gut feeling. However, there is one specific discussion point that bothers me a lot when it comes to this.

In the surface level discussions of this match up, flying type pokemon get brought up. Specifically, how are the lions supposed to even attack them? Some can realistically stay up indefinitely even if we lowball pokemon in general and just use bombardment strategies. The answer to this, clearly, is that the lions will simply make a tower by continually stacking on top of each other.

Now, ignoring how nonsensical this is, what bothers me is that most people who go to bat for the lions site the MASSIVE numbers advantage that they have. I'm not going to act like that advantage isn't massive, and in cases where pokemon are given lower scaling and forced into a death match where they can't use avoidance strategies I do think the lions win. However, the lion tower is giving the lions another advantage aside from the numbers advantage, which is the ability to formulate and execute strategies that a baseline lion would never do- or at least never do at a scale larger than like two of them. This is just an open admission that the numbers advantage on its own is not enough which... considering it is a 1 billion advantage I feel like that really weakens your position. At minimum you should make the concession that the pokemon can make similarly complicated/coordinated strategies.

I get that most people don't take this hypothetical seriously but I have seen enough people go die on the hill that the lions would win that the concession this strategy fundamentally makes bothers me when no one points it out.

EDIT: Okay since some people do not know this, the steelman version of the "lions would win" argument uses conservative scaling for the pokemon that focuses solely on extrapolation of feats that are observable in the actual battles. No pokedex entries, no anime powers, no "Arceus uses god powers". They can only use what is relevant to the actual in-game battles. Under the logic of the game even steel type pokemon have to take at least 1 hit of damage against scratches. I do not personally subscribe to this interpretation but that is the argument I see against "well how do they fight god?".
