Cleaning Up Like Poison Types

I've admittedly got a bit of cleaning up to do in some respects, and it can be a bit of a tough task to do for people and Pokémon alike. I say Pokémon because some species - specifically of the Poison type - can be tasked with cleanup duties of their own, and they also do it in their own ways as well. While I deal with my own task, I want to consider how the Pokémon deal with their task at hand. 

The first is the Grimer species family - the Alolan forms specifically. By repute, the primary member of the family was brought to the region to deal with its trash problem... but the result seems to be that they "clean up" to make more of themselves, including the higher-order Muk. Their "mess" may be one that Trainers can take advantage of, even at the irony of the original intent.

Then there is the Gulpin species family. They, on the other hand, can really "clean up" if they want to, by the repute that they can consume and digest pretty much anything - especially the gargantuan Swalot in relative size terms. It might be a little hard for Trainers to make use of this inherent power, but at least they seem more amicable for that purpose as long as things are under control.

It's strange how some Pokémon of what could be considered the "dirtiest" type, the Poison type, could be the ones that "clean up" the most - from two species families, no less. They're idiosyncratic in that way, yet they do just fine with their ways. I still have that "cleaning up" task to deal with, but these Pokémon may just shed some inspiration for its completion in a cleaner manner.
