Pokémon Refresh allows you to care for your Pokemon in Pokemon Sun and Moon. The new feature lets you clean up your Pokemon, care for them, cure status conditions that were inflicted during battle, and feed them Poké Beans to increase their affection toward you. Pokémon that have been looked after in Pokémon Refresh can grow very fond of you and will battle to the utmost their Trainer. This means that sometimes they may avoid attacks from opposing Pokémon or even hold out when they’re on the verge of fainting. You can try out this feature for yourself in Pokemon Sun and Moon, which are now available for Nintendo 3DS.
