Sadly, I couldn't find in which depth Chinchou are living according to the PokéDex, but that is still a pretty cute scene.
"dark ocean floor" is all that I found. Once you hit 200 meters, light starts to go out very quickly the deeper you go. At about 500-700 meters it's practically pitch-black.
From this image, you'd think it's maybe about 300 meters. That's about 984 feet. The world's current deepest free dive record is 214 meters (704 feet).
Know what's really awesome here though lol? The fact that they wear skimpy bikinis. At 900 feet, ocean water is about as cold as dry ice (it remains a liquid solely because of the salt content and pressure).
So let's just say that they're diving out in the middle of the night lol.
That's the opposite of how pressure works, for one. Higher pressures will force something to be kept at a lower phase of particle activity, not a higher one. For another, ocean temperatures, even at the very deepest points of the ocean, rarely dip below 0 C, much less the -78.5 C that dry ice sits at on Earth's surface.
Still, a body of water less than 5 C will kill you almost instantly without some serious protection; that is to say nothing of actually diving down that far first.

Ice is different because the solid form of water forms a bulky crystal lattice that is less dense than its liquid phase. This is due to the angle of water's covalent bonds. Pressure will force water into its most dense phase, which is liquid. This is why you can cut ice blocks with a weighted wire and it will freeze back around the wire until it passes through.
Temperature shmemperature. If they can casually lift a bag containing a 1000-kg Cosmoem, why would they necessarily be limited to human endurance to temperature or pressure? It's not like stamina or muscle output are realistic limiting factors, not much reason for anything else to be.
I suspect the humans on Pokeworld may actually be Kryptonian colonists; would explain a LOT.
They're also not even remotely this stacked, but anyway...
Pokedex is bullshit as usual. I got my Chinchou in Sun standing on dry land fishing with a rod inside one of those whirlpools, so this is probably more like 15 feet of water, and they're just diving near some rocky outcroppings.

Do keep in mind that Cosmoem very probably does not abide by ordinary gravity, hence why Lillie can carry it around without the slightest issue. It's a little lump of supermassive matter, but again, it ignores rules of gravity.
