How intelligent are pokemon?
Who's smartest?
Who's dumbest?
>>33114827
>smartest
Psychic types
>dumbest
The shitmons people argue over
>>33114827
I think alakazam is the only pokemon with a measured iq.
>>33114886
This guy is the dumbest pokemon
>>33114827
Lapras and Latis can understand human speech, so they're probably the smartest
Thyhorn charges into things for no reason at all, certainly one of the dumbest.
>>33114895
Stop telling people to stop killing threads
>>33114905
All Pokemon can understand human speech. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to follow commands in battle.
>>33114954
Animals in real life can respond to voice commands, doesn't means they can understand human speech
metagross, alakazam, and reuniclus are 3 of the smartest
dumbest is probably electrode
The stupidest Pokemon is certainly Magikarp, a fish so simple it doesn't even swim well. I can't imagine it has a thought in its head. The smartest Pokemon species is fucking obvious, I can't believe this thread hasn't named him
>>33114827
>Smartest
Lucario
>Dumbest
Probably Slowpoke
cant most pokemon understand human language?
>>33118831
yes.
>>33116109
Fanon.
>>33118831
The dex specifies things like Lapras and Latias are so smart they can understand human language, so it's probably a rare trait.
>>33114844
>Psychic types
Yes and no, Alakazam is the smartest and slowpoke is the dumbest.
>Smartest
Psychic mons like Alakazam or Gardevoir, but not all of them (Bruxish is just a fish while Slowbro is slow)
>dumbest
Most shitmons, basically those that rely on instincts.
Rayquaza is in the top 10 at least.
In game canon, I assume that Pokémon are all at least around dog level of intelligence, being able to understand commands and some basic language.
As for the anime and possible manga, I always headcannoned Pokémon being sentient or at the very least, the dumbest ones were as smart as our smartest animals
i'm definitely smarter than any pokemon
>>33120627
>I have a 5001 iq.
would love to see the professional letter about that one.
>Smartest, in-game Mewtwo / Anime Meowth
>Dumbest, crabominable / Ash kys
>>33120733
Anime meowth has never been stated to be particularly intelligent.
So i don't know if you guys care for Pokemon Tabletop United, but they added an "Intelligence Capability" to each pokemon. I think it's for roleplaying purposes but i thought i would link it in case anyone cared.
Pic related shows how smart a pokemon is listed from 1 to 7 where 1 is the dumbest and 7 is a genius.
The wiki is old but if you want to look for a pokemon just click on "+ Show Pokemon" on the left and it'll show you the first evolution of each pokemon line, there you can look at the "Capability List" and look for the Intelligence stat.

>Slowpoke and Slowbro
>4 and 5 respectively
Wouldn't it be more accurate to put them both at 1?
>>33120961
No they should be the smartest actually. Slowking is a slow poke who is dumbed down enough to not be so overwhelmed by KNOWLEDGE. Slow poke only appears dumb cause it is lost in thought. Xatu is similar in that it seems dumb as shit cause it just stares but It really is omniscient
>>33120872
Supercomputers are good at math, but not much else. Alakazam beats him.

fuck off

Has anyone made a brain chart edit with pokemon?

>Animals in real life can respond to voice commands,
?????????????
>>33121597
You ever tell a dog to sit before?
The award for the dumbest Pokémon has to go to Rhyhorn. Its Pokédex entries constantly says it's so stupid, when it charges in one direction, it forgets why.
As far as I'm concerned all pokemon are capable of only knowing 4 moves at a time; so in that regard they're all equally stupid.

Isn't Metagross's brain comparable to a supercomputer?
Pokemon generally seem to be pretty intelligent. They have full on conversations with each other
