Flavor Text

: A clean freak that will not allow even the slightest mess, it uses its tail like a mop to thoroughly clean any and all filth.
: When its tail has gotten dirty from self-cleaning or from cleaning its nest, Minccino spends a whole day washing its tail in clean spring water.

: The way it brushes away grime with its tail can be helpful when cleaning. But its focus on spotlessness can make cleaning more of a hassle.
: They pet each other with their tails as a form of greeting. Of the two, the one whose tail is fluffier is a bit more boastful.
