Collector's Pick
Litten is a Fire-type Pokemon with base stats of 128/79/128 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,170. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.
