The first groomers to be featured in the anime were also Pokémon Breeders, such as Brock and Suzie. 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.

With the introduction of Pokémon Contests in the Advanced Generation series, Pokémon grooming became more common as Coordinators must care for their Pokémon's appearance to improve their chances of succeeding in these competitions. Drew and Dawn have been shown cleaning and brushing their Pokémon. In addition, feeding Pokéblocks and Poffins to Pokémon is said to keep them healthy and enhance their appearances.

In A Marathon Rivalry!, Team Rocket disguised themselves as Pokémon groomers during the Pokéathlon in Camellia Town. They used the same mecha used to torture Kaiser in the banned episode EP035 in order to massage Pokémon who entered the competition.

In the XY series, the Pokémon groomers Jessica and Sherman showed their craft in Grooming Furfrou!. Bonnie also acts similar to a groomer, and can often be seen brushing the fur of her brother and friends' Pokémon. Serena is also shown frequently brushing her Pokémon as well.

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.
