And the facade finally drops for once. It was always a contention of mine that a lot of the pokemon entries are extremely hyperbolic and don't make sense from a realistic standpoint. Case in point Alakazam with its 5000 IQ. This would mean that it could solve a problem, any problem, 50 times faster than the average human. And that brought the question of how it would do that.

And for the record, no, Poune is not smarter than Averik, who gets a name because it seems silly for no one in the pokemon universe except the protagonist ever really thinks to give their pokemon a name. And shouldn't take much to guess who Averik's master is, though why they were here is another question. But anyway, yeah, Poune is not smarter than Averik in the traditional sense. He is more adept at one thing, and it's what makes him unique amongst all the other pokemon that are encountered and it's one thing he's possibly better at than even anyone in the rest of the games or the anime.
