[Pokemon] How intelligent are most Pokemon?

As in problem solving skills, and if possible, IQ. I know there are outliers like Abra and Mewtwo, but what about most of the Pokemon who can understand English and empathize?

Pokemon vary fairly wildly in terms of intelligence. Most are kind of dumb. (Not necessarily stupid, just not smart) Some are a bit more clever. They don't recognize speech they way that most people assume; They recognize the intention behind the words, and, with training, know how their trainer expects them to act.

Problem solving skills are limited. They can solve whatever issues crop up in their day-to-day lives, but if put into an environment they're unfamiliar with they won't exactly flourish. There's actually a rather advanced system in the PokeComputer (PC) network that releases Pokemon to their natural habitat, just so we don't end up disturbing ecosystems (For instance, by letting Gyarados loose in a local fishing hole)

As for IQ, well, those tests are designed for humans, so they won't exactly apply. There are some psychic Pokemon who perform well on IQ tests, which sounds impressive until you realize that those tests are proctored by someone who knows what the correct responses are, and that Psychic types can read minds.
