There's a difference between Smart, Inteligent, and Sentient. One can be smart yet not inteligent or sentient.

So far, "Smarter" = "Experienced and less foolish" when it comes to the Grimm. They learn from their experiences like most animals, and learn to not rush blindly into battle. Veteran ones may well also learn how the average folk fight.

Of course, as proven by the Deathstalker, they learn nothing if they spend mileniums without gaining experience. They would just get bigger, but not smarter.

But, so far, nothing says they develop sentience or become truly inteligent.

We also don't know how old the Nuckelavee is. Nothing says it's actually Ancient.
