I can also confirm that my Rufflet has needed grooming before, and continued to do so after evolving.

The eponymous feature of Pokémon Refresh is the option for the player to care for their Pokémon after battle. There are five different ways to care for Pokémon: using medicine, a comb, a brush, a towel, or a dryer. Caring for a Pokémon increases its Affection. | The eponymous feature of Pokémon Refresh is the option for the player to care for their Pokémon after battle.

* Comb: cleanly grooms a Pokémon. A Pokémon may randomly need grooming after a battle, the chance of which may increase with longer battles. Specific moves such as {{m|Darkest Lariat}} that are used by the player's Pokémon always result in the Pokémon requiring combing after the battle. | * Comb: cleanly grooms a Pokémon.

The player may pet their Pokémon by using the touch screen to rub it. All Pokémon that can be petted have places where they especially like being petted and places where they dislike it. Petting a Pokémon increases its Affection—shown by hearts that appear over its head—as well as its Enjoyment, but if its Enjoyment reaches its maximum, no Affection will be gained. Petting a Pokémon in a spot it dislikes also will not increase Affection. Initially, when a Pokémon has 0 Affection, however, all pettable spots on its body are treated as neutral spots. | The player may pet their Pokémon by using the touch screen to rub it.

Some Pokémon also have special effects on parts of their body, such as a slimy body or a sharp edge. Some of these are mainly aesthetic effects, while others may temporarily prevent the player from petting the Pokémon in reaction. | Some Pokémon also have special effects on parts of their body, such as a slimy body or a sharp edge. Some of these are mainly aesthetic effects, while others may temporarily prevent the player from petting the Pokémon in reaction. Several Pokémon may have their entire bodies produce these effects, either preventing them from being petted in a favourable spot or petted altogether. | ||
The player can also use the touch screen to high five certain Pokémon, such as the [[starter Pokémon]] and [[Eeveelution|Eevee and its evolutions]]. This is done by holding the stylus on a spot away from the Pokémon's body for approximately five seconds, as long as the Pokémon also has at least 5 points of Affection. Rapidly tapping the screen in succession may also hit the Pokémon, which causes an angry reaction but does not affect its stats. | The player can also use the touch screen to high five certain Pokémon, such as the [[starter Pokémon]] and [[Eeveelution|Eevee and its evolutions]].

Pokémon can be fed '''[[Poké Bean]]s''' (Japanese: '''ポケマメ''' ''Poké Bean'') to increase their Affection, as well as their Fullness. | {{incomplete|section|Are there still Pokémon who cannot be fed, like ones such as Shedinja and most cocoon-based Pokémon couldn't be in the previous generation?}} | ||
Pokémon can be fed '''[[Poké Bean]]s''' (Japanese: '''ポケマメ''' ''Poké Bean'') to increase their Affection, as well as their Fullness. Unlike Pokémon-Amie, Poké Beans cannot be obtained within the feature as [[Poké Puff]]s were, being obtainable from cafés alongside the first beverage the player orders daily as well as primarily through [[Poké Pelago]]. | |||
