They'd have to store one for each level and possible ability combinations.

I don't know enough about Pokémon to even try and guesstimate that number.

You realise that this game is fiction, right?

It's even more than that since you can improve attacks with more AP, two Pokémon of the same level can also have wildly different stats depending on different factors, there are also genders, passive abilities, etc.

Also what about legendary Pokémon? Are they having hundreds of different versions of literal gods in each of those?

Probably those are generically engineered blueprint Pokemon, which they can quickly adjust to lvl and settings

Could be, but once you start involving genetic engineering, you probably can also just heal the Pokémon.

Not to mention name?
