Janitor (Trainer class)

A Janitor (Japanese: せいそういん Cleaner) is a type of Trainer class introduced in Generation V. They are old men dressed in green janitor outfits and holding mops. They could be considered a male counterpart of Maids.

Despite being cleaners, they tend to use Pokémon that represent filth, such as Trubbish and Koffing, as well as Pokémon that love to clean, such as Minccino. They mainly use Poison-type Pokémon. This may mean that they capture filthy Pokémon to remove them from the area.

Janitor Geoff and his Pokémon in the manga

Black and White meet Janitor Geoff on the Skyarrow Bridge after being attacked by a mysterious Pokémon on their way to Castelia City. After a quick battle, Geoff reveals that he is the president of the Battle Company and that the Pokémon that had attacked them was the Legendary Virizion.

Trivia

• Janitor Geoff in Pokémon Black and White gives an Exp. Share as a reward for being defeated, in addition to the reward money, because he claims to be the president of the Battle Company and likes observing his employees while disguised.
• The Janitor Trainer class is one of two classes who give out different amount of monetary awards; the other is the Clerk ♂ class. However, this is due to one Janitor being a company president in disguise, and the rest of the class are real janitors, unlike the Clerk ♀ class, whose monetary difference is split between two separate sprites.
