He will give the player three Plain Beans for a Patterned Bean or seven Plain Beans for a Rainbow Bean. The player can also exchange Poké Beans with Mohn. Up to 255 Poké Beans of each type can be held at once.
The player can also gain 12 Plain Beans from Pokémon Center Cafés alongside the first beverage the player orders daily, with the day of the week determining the color of the Plain Beans that are received. Unlike Pokémon-Amie, Poké Beans cannot be obtained within the feature as Poké Puffs were, being obtainable primarily through Poké Pelago. There are three different types of Poké Beans: Plain Beans, Patterned Beans, and Rainbow Beans. Poké Beans are a specialty in the Alola region that can be fed to Pokémon to increase their affection, as well as their fullness. 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. The player can also use the touch screen to high five certain Pokémon. Several Pokémon may have their entire bodies produce these effects, either preventing them from being petted in a favorable spot or petted altogether. 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. Rapidly tapping the screen in succession may also hit the Pokémon, which causes an angry reaction but does not affect its stats. Initially, when a Pokémon has 0 affection, however, all pettable spots on its body are treated as neutral spots. Petting a Pokémon in a spot it dislikes also will not increase affection. 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. All Pokémon that can be petted have places where they especially like being petted and places where they dislike it. The player may pet their Pokémon by using the touch screen to rub it. If a Pokémon has a status condition, its circle in the Pokémon selection menu will be orange, and when selected, an icon of an unhappy Pikachu will appear beside its stats. Status conditions can also be cared for by opening Refresh from the menu at any time. If a Pokémon has a status condition, this option will also show up after a battle so the player can cure it with the medicine tool. If the player leaves without fully caring for any Pokémon, these effects do not remain if the player opens Refresh from the menu afterwards. If a Pokémon is afflicted with any of these effects, at the end of the battle (when the victory tune begins playing), an icon will appear on the lower screen that will allow the player to open Pokémon Refresh to care for their Pokémon. Many Water-type Pokémon do not need drying. Also dries Pokémon after a battle in the rain.
Dryer: dries out a Pokémon that has been hit by or used a move like Water Gun or Icicle Spear.Towel: wipes away dirt the Pokémon picks up from using or being hit by certain moves, like Mud-Slap, Mud Sport, or Sludge Wave.Pokémon that battle in a sandstorm also can be brushed after battle. Brush: dusts off sand the Pokémon picks up from using or being hit by moves like Sand Attack, Bulldoze, and Rototiller.Only Pokémon with fur or feathers can be groomed with a comb. Specific moves such as Darkest Lariat that are used by the player's Pokémon always result in the Pokémon requiring combing after the battle. A Pokémon may randomly need grooming after a battle after performing an offensive move, the chance of which may increase with longer battles. Caring for a Pokémon increases its affection.ĭuring a battle with a wild Pokémon or Trainer, there are four ways the player's Pokémon can become dirty, each requiring a different tool to clean it up. There are five different ways to care for Pokémon: using medicine, a comb, a brush, a towel, or a dryer. The eponymous feature of Pokémon Refresh is the option for the player to care for their Pokémon after battle.
