⚡ What Bathe Time does

With a Hot Spring cosmetic in your garden, the Nihonzaru goes and bathes in it to relax. In the current ability data its boost value is 0 at every weight, so the bath has no effect on your garden.

The wiki mentions it used to have a different trait that also needed a cosmetic, and a past bug where two Nihonzaru would lower a pet's cooldown. Neither applies now. Treat it as a decorative pet.
