Point-of-fact any Primarina trainer could tell you is sea water can be damaging to their hair, if not cared for properly. In the wild, this is irrelevant, the older members of the colony teach the newly-evolved ones to properly maintain theirs, to say nothing of the ones who learn while still in the Popplio or Brionne stage that finding a piece of coral and dragging it through their hair is something they must do when dusk turns to night. Is a trainer, who started off on their journey, on the shores of a sea far away from any "professional" grooming centre really expected to drop tools and fuck off back to civilisation? No, they learn to do it for their pokémon, as part of their mandate to keep their pokémon healthy and well-kept. It's also been proven to deepen the bond between them, which as any Pokémon Professor worth his salt will tell you, is the whole point trusting and loving your pokémon to the beneficial growth of the pair.
