I'm assuming it's more like learning a different language and that he just had to train himself to speak.

Anon is right, Pokemon can say their names and have a whole language based around how they say it, it's feasible that they can learn human speech since they can actually say their own names rather than a bark or meow like animals in our world.

This implies literally any pokemon could learn to speak human language, they just don't care enough to try, which is interesting in several ways

They do play around with NPC pokémon lines in Sun and Moon; there's quite a bit of flexibility in how they can say other words just by using variations of letter/syllables from their names.

(Except the "Lies!" sudowoodo. That was probably a translation goof.)

It's a mistranslation, apparently Sudowoodo's jap name contains the word for lies. A better translation (but not precisely something that makes sense) would be a Sudowoodo saying "Pseudo" or something like that

He used up a bunch of moveslots to learn how to speak.
It's why he can't just use Pay Day to get Team Rocket out of poverty.

What they said. His speakibg comes at the cost of a 4th moveslot. Also the pokemon speak is treated as a language.
