It only took three generations for the Trubbish species to gain enough collective energy over the majority of the population to develop a metamorphic state. It was first discovered by what I enjoy referring to as a hoodlum.
The boy, age of seventeen if I remember correctly, snuck into the local dump of the area he lived in after dark to do Mew only knows what. He stumbled upon a Trubbish horde and for some reason got it into his head that he could fight them all off.
To his credit, he actually did manage to knock out three or four of them as he rummaged around the trash yard and used the environment to his advantage. He climbed to the top of the highest garbage pile and accidentally caused a sort of garbage avalanche.
The remaining Trubbish, surrounded by his element, physiology radiating with the cumulative energy from the previous generations of Trubbish, and caught in a situation where it needed desperately to save the hoodlum as well as its fellow Trubbish, burst into its metamorphosis.
The chemicals within Trubbish's body churned and fumed the Trubbish's genes, allowing it to become a Garbodor, or Dasutodasu.
The Garbodor saved them all from the trash avalanche, then promptly threw the hoodlum out of its territory. From there, more and more Trubbish encountered triggering events that allowed them to metamorphasize. They bred with the general Trubbish population, and now all Trubbish are able to reach the form of Garbodor naturally without need of a triggering event to cause it.
And with that, Trubbish and Garbodor have become what we know of them today. And much like the other two members of the pollution trio, they have a habit of actually making the world around them cleaner by absorbing, feeding on, and taking away garbage in the area. And yet they're still treated poorly because they look and smell (and are more or less made of) garbage. I suppose we humans will always need something to growl and hiss at. Oh well, at least Pokemon like Garbodor won't go down so easily.
