In the anime
The first groomers to be featured in the anime were also breeders, such as Brock and Suzy. In 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 XY series, Bonnie acts as a groomer, and can often be seen brushing the fur of her brother and friends' Pokémon.
