It’s best if the pots have at least 1 drain hole. Succulents store water in their roots, stems, and leaves and they need the soil to have good drainage to do their best.

I recommend that beginning gardeners start with pots that have drainage holes. You might find that really cute pot with none, so you can drill holes in the bottom of the pot.
