Explaining the ENTIRE Pokemon Food Chain

In the normal world, we have the almighty food chain
Birds eat bugs
Lions eat antelope
Crocodiles eat everything
And people eat apple pie
But what happens when you give that apple pie the power to fight back?
Well, you get Appletun, which fights back against Lechonk as per the pokedex it explicitly states that “When some Lechonk come along to lick the sweet nectar on Appletun's back, Appletun will spew sticky nectar at them to drive them away. “
So that begs the question to be asked, what is the entire Pokemon food chain?

Just as a quick note, STARS ARE NOT DEAD PLANETS, I didn't realize the insanity had settled in that early, but I figured I'd address and pin that here. In addition, Lapras eats fish in the Ultra Moon Pokedex, and Kyurem is rumored to eat people, just small things to note and hopefully people read this as to not be misinformed. Abra in the Sun dex is stated to eat berries in trees Skitty COULD be an ambush predator as many cats actually are Orbeetle could be eating small bugs as ladybugs do eat aphids And many apes/monkeys are omnivores as they do eat PLENTY of bugs In addition, Victini is noted in the research notes, but I didn't mention that it technically isn't a part of the food chain. That V for Victory makes it win every battle and breaks the system, making it rival Arceus The only reason I know some of these now is due to the kind constructive criticism and comments of YOU! Thank you!
