A '''Pokémon groomer''' is a person who improves a [[Pokémon]]'s [[happiness]] by grooming them. They were first seen in [[Generation II]], and have appeared in every subsequent game.
A '''Pokémon groomer''' is a person who improves a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[friendship]] by giving it special treatment to bring out its best. A groomer's services are not limited to typical grooming activities and may include treatments like massages and spa treatments. They were first seen in [[Generation II]], and have appeared in every subsequent core series game. Typically, a groomer's services are only available to one Pokémon per day.

==In the anime==
The first groomers to be featured in the {{pkmn|anime}} were also [[Pokémon Breeder (Trainer class)|breeders]], such as {{an|Brock}} and [[Suzy]].  In ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', it was shown how grooming a Pokémon through techniques such as massage brings out a Pokémon's inner beauty, making them feel their best rather than merely dolling them up.
 
In the {{series|XY}}, the Pokémon groomers {{OBP|Jessica|XY008}} and [[Sherman]] showed their craft in ''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]''. {{an|Bonnie}} also acts similar to a groomer, and can often be seen brushing the fur of her brother and friends' Pokémon.


Generally, whenever the topic of grooming comes up in the anime, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] demonstrate a passion for the craft and will use it as a front for their latest scheme. However, their styling tends to be portrayed as tacky and with no regard to the Pokémon's happiness.
