What is a pokemon's "Level" and its purpose?
I am using this IV calculator by the SilphRoad Community to compute IV values. Recently, I managed to have two Pinsirs with the same Perfect Percentage, as shown here:
As you can see, both Pinsirs have 95.6% Perfect Value, and comparing their IV Values, they have 15-15 ATK, 14-15 DEF and 14-13 STA – not much of a difference I think? But I noticed the difference on the Pokemons' Level it is 26 to 20.5. The tooltip says:
From that I assume that a Pokemon's level is proportion to how many times it takes to power up that Pokemon to reach its current CP. So is it just another description of a Pokemon with no application in battling them?
What is a pokemon's "Level" and it's purpose? I hope you can also explain the difference in my example – why is it 20.5-26?

What does it mean when a Pokemon learns a move at level 1?
There are a couple situations for moves that are obtained "at level 1" (Bulbapedia lists them as learned at "Start"): For a Pokemon's first evolution, either by being caught (at levels low enough to not have learned many moves from level up) or hatched, their move list will be populated by these level-1 moves.What are default moves in Pokemon?
Pok\xe9mon do not have "default movesets" in the context of "non-customized movesets". The moveset of any Pok\xe9mon you encounter in the games is based on the location you're in (for wild ones) or the trainer you're fighting (for trained ones).What levels do Pokémon learn moves?
After a Pok\xe9mon evolves, it immediately attempts to learn all evolution moves for its evolved form (internally listed as being learned at level 0). As in previous generations, after this, it attempts to learn any moves that the evolved Pok\xe9mon learns at its current level.What is Pokémon?
