Because I have a love for cats, I thought Incineroar would be my favorite starter.
But in the run where I first chose Rowlet, DECIDUEYE TOOK HALF DAMAGE FROM NECROZMA, CRITICAL HIT IT, LIVED ON AFFECTION 1 HP, AND FINISHED IT OFF WITH A Z-MOVE. I TWO-HIT KO'D NECROZMA WITH ONE POKEMON, NO OTHERS FAINTED, DECIDUEYE ON ONE HP, And now Decidueye is my favorite child.
