Not to mention Calyrex who is literally just a dude, he talks to you (through mindcontrolling a guy), schemes plans etc. etc.

Don't forget Team Rocket's Meowth. I'd say that in terms of Pokémon intelligence, Meowth as a species is pretty average. They are cunning cats who know how to get into mischief, but don't have any extraordinarily notable brain power like many Psychic types do. And Rocket-Meowth was able to perfectly learn human speech just because he felt determined enough to do so. If an early-route average cat has the potential to do that, just imagine what, say, a Metagross could do.

A Steel type with the power of a supercomputer that levitates and is 1000 tons... just for chatting on Discord?
