User:Tiddlywinks/Pokémon Refresh care

Causes for specific care stuff in Pokémon Refresh. And related notes. Intended to be a complete list eventually. (Please feel free to edit.)

Moves that require subsequent care

I'm not sure if there's any move with a difference between using it and being hit by it, but for now we can just assume that either implies the other.

Care exceptions or notes

• Comb
  • Only for furred/feathered Pokemon?
• Brush
• Towel
• Dryer
  • Not possible many Water-type Pokemon?
    • Water-type exceptions (can require the dryer): Tirtouga
• Medicine?

Weather's care effects appear to be nullified by Safety Goggles. May also want to check Abilities that neutralize weather, like Sand Veil and Magic Guard (refer to Weather#Activated Abilities).

Water Gun needs a dryer afterwards sometimes when used by Litten.

• Can the same "maybe, maybe not" thing happen with Water Gun for any Pokemon, of any type?
• I've generally thought that moves like Mud Sport and Rototiller always need care afterwards; is this true? Are there just certain moves that sometimes need care and certain moves that always need it?
• I've been thinking of combing as a sort of default effect... This probably means that any move that can cause combing effects should likewise specifically be marked for that, and some just may have a low rate.
