Pedrosa, who started from pole on his Honda, was followed across the line by Yamaha's Katsuyuki Nakasuga with Stoner, Australia's 2011 world champion, competing for the final time before retirement, in third.
Jorge Lorenzo, who clinched the world title last month in Australia, crashed out with 17 laps of the race remaining.
In tricky conditions with the track drying after early rain, tyre selection was essential, with some of the riders starting on slicks and others on wet.
Pedrosa managed to avoid any mishaps to clinch his seventh win of the season to end up with 332 points in the riders standings, in second behind Lorenzo on 350, with Stoner bowing out in third place on 254 points.
Pedrosa told the BBC: "I'm really happy because it was so difficult out there with the track drying up.

"This is a good way to finish the season."
Stoner's team marked the end of their rider's career with a sign hanging over the track wall saying: "Going fishing".
The Australian, reflecting on his last ever race, said: "It's fantastic to end (my career) this way, a big thanks to everyone, to my supporters all these years, there are a lot worse ways to go out."
For Lorenzo his hopes of celebrating his second world title were undone by a spectacular spill.
The Spaniard, who set off on the front row in second on the grid, had slipped down the pack in the early laps before moving up through the field to lead after a flurry of pit stops to change to slick tyres.
Pedrosa, who crashed out in the last race in Australia to hand the title to Lorenzo, was racing in second, around four seconds behind, but the pole sitter soon regained the advantage.
Pedrosa was left with a commanding 26sec cushion over Yamaha's British rider Cal Crutchlow, who was robbed of the chance of a podium place when he parted company with his bike with only seven laps remaining. AFP
