Pohtehtoh

Is it cheap using Starter Pokemon you get from Wonder Trading, I got a Poplio with Scald does that count as a ''cheap'' Pokemon to use trough the game?- 

Here's a list of some Pokemon I wanna use I got from WT:
-Larvitar with Ddance

-Shiny Skorupi
-Popplio

-Bulbasaur

-Sneasel

-shiny Belsprout

Most of those Pokemon are breedjects, and I'm asking would it be cheap to use em, because some people got mad in a Discord because I used an Icicle crash Sneasel in the 2nd gym.
