How team OVR is worked out
Team OVR = Ratings + chemistry + abilities. Ratings is the average of each Pokémon's rating at the position it plays; see how each position is rated. Chemistry is a list of fixed bonuses and penalties, from +3.5 for a point guard 1'4" or shorter to −2.5 for four repeated types; see the chemistry page.
Of the Legendary abilities, Weather adds +3 to each teammate who shares a type (capped at 99), Pressure makes their defender play 5 OVR worse (+1.0 team OVR), and Captain is +2 chemistry. Fortress adds nothing to OVR but cancels your type disadvantages. See Legendaries.
How one game is decided
Your win chance is 1 / (1 + e−d/3.2). d is your OVR minus theirs, plus type edges: each of your five plays the opponent at the same position, a matchup where you hit super effectively and resist their hits is worth up to +2, and the five matchups are summed and multiplied by 0.8. A 3.2-point edge makes you a 73% favourite in that game.
