Fans of Pokémon all remember Team Rocket's talking Meowth. He was one of the first Pokémon who showed the world that Pokémon can learn how to talk in a human language. Since then, many other Pokémon have been introduced who have the same ability to speak with humans in their language.
Many of these Pokémon are Legendary Pokemon or Psychic-types with the ability to communicate with people with their telepathic powers. No matter how these Pokémon are able to communicate in a human language, it is still an impressive feat displayed by only a few. It is undeniably useful in helping Pokémon to get their thoughts across or to translate for others.

7 Lugia Communicates Through Telepathy When Necessary
In Pokémon 2000: The Power Of One, Lugia is seen telepathically speaking to Ash. This appears to be the most efficient way for it to communicate with others, as it likes to spend most of its time deep at the bottom of the ocean. Although it had to surface to calm down the legendary bird trio, Lugia's wings are capable of blowing apart houses and creating 40-day storms, so it still isn't very safe for it to get too close to humans.

1 Jirachi Needs To Communicate With Humans In Order To Grant Their Wishes
Like some other Psychic Pokémon, Jirachi is able to communicate with others using telepathy.

It is also able to grant wishes that are written on the notes attached to its head, which means that Jirachi is capable of reading human languages as well.
