Typically, Pokémon will have a cry that is identical to their own species' name. For example, a {{p|Charmander}} will only be able to say the actual word "Charmander," in part or in whole. | Typically, Pokémon will have a cry that is identical to their own species' name.

Despite apparently speaking only their own species' name, Pokémon seem to be able to communicate with each other without issue. In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', there are subtitles for what the Pokémon are saying, and evidently they could understand each other perfectly. Communication between Pokémon has become especially crucial in [[Double Battle]]s, [[Triple Battle]]s, and [[Multi Battle|Tag Battles]]. An example of this can be seen from the conversation between [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', when communication between those two Pokémon was vital in saving their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

While it was originally assumed that all cries by Pokémon were the same, dedicated fans have been able to find what appear to be patterns, such as Ash's Pikachu saying "Piiika-Chuuuuuuuu" when using {{m|Thunderbolt}} or "Pika-Pikachu" when referring to himself, Pika-Pi when referring to Ash. Dawn's Piplup also shows patterns, such as "Piplup-lup-lup" when using {{m|BubbleBeam}}, or "Pipluurrrp" when using {{m|Whirlpool}}, with the 'lup' becoming distinctly watery. | While it was originally assumed that all cries by Pokémon were the same, dedicated fans have been able to find what appear to be patterns, such as Ash's Pikachu saying "Piiika-Chuuuuuuuu" when using {{m|Thunderbolt}} or "Pika-Pikachu" when referring to himself, Pika-Pi when referring to Ash.

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Ash's Pikachu used a {{m|Thunderbolt}} to communicate with {{p|Zapdos}}, while Team Rocket's Meowth translated.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', Pikachu and [[Clemont's Dedenne]] communicated via sparks from their cheeks. However, Meowth could not translate this speech. | ||
