What in regards to the top-level verdict on every? Let’s break issues down good and easily in regards to the three starters:

Water-type starter Popplio focuses on the particular assaults and as soon as developed into Primarina.

Primarina can use the all-new Sparkling Aria transfer. This transfer will heal burns but additionally does enormous harm when it hits a consumer with a burn, that means there’s some attention-grabbing utility for doubles matches when paired with a Pokemon that may burn opponents. It’s additionally typically fairly sturdy.
The new Liquid Voice capability is a brilliant one, turning sound-based strikes like Disarming Voice into water-type strikes. Various the Popplio line’s strikes are sound-based, and this capability is perhaps what makes this line sing (each actually and figuratively on this case).
Primarina boasts the very best Special Attack and Defence out of the starters by a good distance, however has a mediocre pace stat.

Grass and flying-type starter Rowlet ultimately evolves into Decidueye, who’s the definition of an all-rounder stats-wise.

Generally Decidueye is targeted on bodily assaults, and that is backed up by its Long Reach capability. This capability implies that it doesn’t matter what anti-physical assault protections the enemy has, you’ll by no means be hit by nasty penalties akin to static or poison. All assaults are counted as non-contact assaults.
Decidueye has some good new strikes for its two varieties – on th grass facet there’s Leafage, a transfer that at all times hits with a bodily grass assault, whereas Spirit Shackle is a bodily ghost assault that stops targets from fleeing battle.

Fire-type Litten ultimately features a Dark-type classification when it evolves into the buff-looking Incineroar.

Incineroar is all about hitting laborious with painful bodily assaults due to the sturdy base assault worth of 115 (essentially the most of any starter in Pokemon Sun & Moon), nevertheless it additionally boasts a good particular assault stat. Like Primarina it suffers from a mediocre pace.
On evolving to Incineroar, this Pokemon features entry to some preventing and dark-type strikes, as its wrestler-like picture suggests. While Litten’s earlier types would possibly tempt you to go for a fire-driven strategy to its move-set, you’re higher off on specializing in Dark-type strikes.
Some of the very best of those are new: Darkest Lariat hits laborious and ignores enemy Pokemon stat adjustments, whereas Throat Chop is ideal for shutting down the likes of Popplio, hitting laborious but additionally stopping the usage of sound-based transfer. Incineroar may study new TM Brutal Swing, which hits all the things round it good friend or foe.
