Similarly one may ask, is Rowlet a good starter?
Regarding their effectiveness, Rowlet is arguably the best starter on Melemele Island (the first of four Alolan islands). While it has a neutral type matchup against the first Totem Pokémon, it has a big advantage during your first Grand Trial.
Furthermore, is Popplio a good starter? Popplio is a top-tier starter to breeze through the in-game storyline. None of them are as useful as Scald of course, but they give Rowlet and Litten more usability for that stage of the game.
