Every Wild Area event we seem to get are usually limited time events, this one is from September 3rd till September 5th, and Pokémon themed around cleaning are available in the Max Raid Battles, those Pokémon include Cinccino, Altaria, Mow Rotom, and Wimpod. There is a 2% chance of finding a Shiny Cinccino in the Max Raid Battles.
I could go over the Pokémon found in Max Raid Battles, starting with Cinccino, its Hidden Ability is Skill Link, which is a really good Ability for it, as it can learn moves like Tail Slap, Bullet Seed, and Rock Blast, and Cinccino is very fast, so it works very well with the King's Rock in putting those moves to good use. It does get access to some other moves like Knock Off, U-turn and Triple Axel, and it does get some nice status moves like Thunder Wave, Encore, and a few other moves. While Cinccino does have a high Speed stat and a good Attack stat, it is not that defensively, but with Skill Link and access to multi-hit moves that always hit 5 times when Cinccino uses it, it is at least a decent Pokémon in battle.
Next one is Altaria, its best stat is Special Defense, but it is outclassed by better Pokémon. Its Hidden Ability is Cloud Nine, which is a useful Ability in prevent weather effects in battle, and for moves, it can make use of Cotton Guard to give it extra Defense, it can use Dragon Dance to boost its Attack and Speed, and use moves like Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Dual Wingbeat, Steel Wing, and a few other moves, and it can use Roost to heal itself, that can pair up well with Cotton Guard. As for special moves, Altaria can use Dragon Pulse, Moonblast, Draco Meteor, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and many others, and it gets some nice status moves, like Tailwind, Defog, Haze, Feather Dance, Perish Song, and a few others. What holds Altaria back from being a good Pokémon in battle is that its stats are kind of average for a Dragon-type, so there are way better options to use over that Pokémon.
Mow Rotom is next up, even though it isn't as commonly used compared to both Heat and Wash Rotom, Electric/Grass is a decent type combo, and Rotom does get Leaf Storm, which is a powerful Grass-type move for it. Rotom can make use of many different moves, it can be used as a Special Attacker with Thunderbolt and Leaf Storm, while Dark Pulse or Shadow Ball work as coverage options, it can use Nasty Plot to boost its Special Attack. Another set it can use is Trick, where it can give its Choice Specs to an opponent, Volt Switch is used in place of Thunderbolt, and on some sets, Rotom can use Will-O-Wisp. It has some good usability, as the Rotom forms do have very good stats in Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense.
The last one out of the event Raid Battles is Wimpod, it's very weak, so it's not like you can just put a Wimpod on your team and use it in battle, its evolved form Golisopod has Emergency Exit, which has the same effect as Wimp Out, Wimpod's Ability. Golisopod does have high Attack and Defense stats, it is one of few Bug-type Pokémon to learn First Impression, which was its signature move back in Sun & Moon, and it can learn some priority moves, like Aqua Jet and Sucker Punch, as those are the best ways to make use of Golisopod because of Emergency Exit. Golisopod does learn some other powerful Physical moves, like Liquidation, Leech Life, Close Combat, Poison Jab, Drill Run, Iron Head, Throat Chop, and a few other moves. It can set up Spikes, but there are better Pokémon than can set up Spikes, and while Swords Dance is nice, it is not an easy move to fit in if Golisopod is forced to be switched out when its HP drops below half.
