There's two ways this play out:

1) Non-Berserk/Unlimited PP: In this scenario Pokemon either do not run out of PP (possibly by disengaging and resting, fighting in waves, or just because that's a gameplay mechanic rather than a real world thing) AND are smart enough to fight using tactics appropriate to their intelligence level (and some Pokemon are beyond genius level intelligent). Pokemon stomp HARD. Some of them are just silly. For instance, not dinosaur can even get close enough to Macargo to attack it. Its body heat is hotter than the surface of the sun. It can literally take a nap and solo anything that comes at it. Anything that can fly and can use an elemental attack becomes a sniper. Moves like Earthquake and Surf can decimate entire groups of dinos. Lots of Water, Ghost, Flying, and Fire types can just go somewhere the dinos can't get to, such as deep in the ocean or literally into lava and chill. It might take a long time but eventually the Pokemon win.

2) Berserk mode/PP limited: Let's do some math, for science. I'm too lazy to figure out how many Legendaries there are so I'm just gonna use the total number of Pokemon. It'll add some extra weight to the Pokemon side but its not gonna matter.

There's 905 Pokemon total. We're gonna round up to 1,000 so the math gets easier. Every Pokemon can learn 4 moves max. We're gonna be *real generous* and give every Pokemon Magnitude in all four move slots. Magnitude is a move similar to Earthquake but its power varies from Base 10 to Base 150. We're using it because Magnitude has very high PP, 48 when maxed out. We'll also assume Magnitude hits an AOE like Earthquake does.

So we have 1,000 Pokemon with 192 uses of Magnitude each. We'll assume every use outright kills 1,000 dinos, so each Pokemon can kill 192,000 for a total of 192,000,000 dead dinosaurs. And then another 8,000 as each Pokemon Struggles to death.That's less than 1/5th the total dinos. Even being extremely generous with the Pokemon side by giving the a hugely powered up attack move in every slot AND considerably more numbers than they would have they don't even come close. If you want to argue that, somehow, a single move use would kill more than 1,000 dinos be my guest but that's really the only factor up for debate here. Every other factor has already been generously weighted to the Pokemon side of the scale and still comes up lacking.

Of the two, I personally think scenario 1 is more likely but its not my topic. TC is obviously trolling at this point but I wanted to do the math regardless
