Does using another launcher (e.g. Nova) drain more battery?

[Android Central Question]

I would like to use an interface that looks like Google's Pixel on my Huawei Mate Pro.
Should I use a Pixel launcher or download stock android? Is the latter even possible? Which one is more effective (use less battery). Thank you.

Welcome to Android Central! I've never noticed any excessive battery drain with Nova. I highly recommend it.

Same here. I've used Nova on all my Android devices, and it's worked great with no battery drain issues.

Nope. Not noticed any difference here.
