I would guess they're talking about how he can take Pokemon attacks and shrug them off, or something like that.

Yes. There is even a meme to refer to Satoshi's superhuman strength.
Super Masara-jin (Pallet town is Masara town in JP)
Super Saiyan reference of course

Don't forget Larvitar, who weighs about 180 lbs, or Nebby as a Cosmoem.
