Pokémon vs. Digimon: Which monster lineup would win?

gamepur.com:

Pokémon versus Digimon has always been a heated topic among fans of either franchise. Despite sharing the “mon” moniker and having somewhat related premises, both series are very dissimilar in many ways. That makes it hard to quantify how to pit one lineup against the other. Pokémon are animals with the power to control the elements, while Digimon are digital creatures with the strength to conquer the world. Some Pokémon are literal gods that rule over time and space, though most are essentially pets with above-average intelligence (unless you’re Alakazam). Meanwhile, Digimon are fully sentient and can speak human languages.

Furthermore, the Digimon franchise is allowed to get darker with its storylines and has genuine stakes. None of the actual Pokémon in the games, shows, or movies are in danger. Every Pokémon battle ends with the Pokémon fainting, getting knocked out, or quitting. Comparing the two is almost like comparing apples and oranges; they are different enough that it’s difficult to contrast the two. When trying to figure out which is more powerful, Pokémon or Digimon, it’s best to go through each franchise’s history and see how each franchise deals with power-scaling for its monsters.

Pokémon should theoretically be able to destroy land and buildings with little effort, especially if we are considering Pokédex entries as fact. Pokédex entries state several pieces of information about Pokémon that suggest the species are capable of doing the impossible. However, Pokédex entries are often inconsistent and don’t match how some Pokémon are presented in media. If Magcargo’s body is 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit as the Pokédex states, that would mean Magcargo is hotter than the surface
