nothing in Pokemon's canon suggest that Pokemon are as strong as the Pokedex entries claim (that are written by 10 year olds btw)

common example that makes no fucking sense:

Magcargo, 18,000 degree body is 2x the temperature of the sun. And yet the pokemon world isn't completely obliterated. Interesting.

"b-b-b--b-b-b-b-bb--but what about Ghost types?" nothing. If Lions are a normal type, then who cares? Bite is a dark type move that is super effective against Ghosts. I personally believe that because Lions are not Pokemon, they would be typeless, which would inflict neutral damage on everything (as seen in the Pokemon attack struggle), but even if they aren't, there's no reason why biting wouldn't work.

All the "GODS" of Pokemon are thwarted, again, by 10 year olds. And nothing these "GODS" do are unbeatable. Even in the Pokemon canon an Arceus can get beaten by a Rattata.

People vastly overhype the abilities of Pokemon for absolutely no reason.

Bite may be Dark type and lions may be no type but Ghost types are still GHOSTS. The lions would have to be able to get a hit in. Other Pokmon can manage because those are the rules and they have Types. But by your logic, lions being no type would not be able to hurt Ghost types even if they tried biting them because they are ghosts. If lions have no type, their bites also have no types and so the question would be if a lion can physically hurt something like a ghost. By our world's logic, they cannot. The lore of our world states that most ghosts do not have physical bodies.
