I'm fighting Elesa's Zebstrika with my lv.30 Dewott and I keep on healing him until Zebstrika runs out of pp for volt switch but he keeps on using volt switch.

I actually had the same thoughts too but I just thought to myself if gym leaders had unlimited PP that would just be unfair and so, that answered the question. It was just common sense.
At times I think that gym leaders have max pp moves

Yes Gym Leader's Pokemon do run out of PP, but Volt Switch has 20 PP and Elesa has 3 Pokemon that know it.

You best have a lot of potions if you want to stall out Elesa's Volt Switch.

Or get a Sandile.

I'm 99% sure that they do run out of PP, I remember a Pokemon having to use Struggle on me. You must have miscounted the PP.

They will run out of PP eventually, but that's a waste of time and money. My suggestion: level a sand shrew up to level 22 and laugh at how easy it dominates her team
