What is this random Pokémon generator?
This tool picks a random Pokémon from the full National Pokédex (Gen 1 through Gen 9, 1,025 species) based on whatever filters you turn on. Leave every filter off and it draws from the entire Pokédex. Pick several types and it draws from Pokémon matching any of them — Fire + Water means every Fire- or Water-type is in the pool. Different kinds of filters stack: Fire-type + Legendary only draws Legendaries that are also Fire-type.
Common ways people use it
Creative inspiration
Artists and writers use a random Pokémon as a drawing prompt for daily challenges, fusions, or draw-from-memory games.
Nuzlocke challenges
Randomly decide which Pokémon you're allowed to use on a run.
Random teams
The random team generator builds a full team of 6 for a friendly battle or a fun self-imposed challenge.
Settling arguments
"Random Pokémon says" is a fun way to pick a favorite when you can't decide.
More ways to generate
Looking for something more specific?
By rarity or form
A random starter Pokémon, a random legendary or mythical, a random shiny Pokémon, or a random Pokémon to draw.
Play instead of pick
Spin the Pokémon wheel (or the random type generator to land on a type instead), test your silhouette skills in Who's That Pokémon, or start ticking off species in the Pokédex tracker.
Kit out a team
Roll a random moveset, a random ability, or a Pokémon name for a nickname (or a whole new Fakemon). Then check your type coverage or work out a Pokémon's final stats and IVs.
By generation
Lock the pool to one era with the random Gen 1 Pokémon generator (Kanto classics only) or the Gen 9 generator (Paldea's newest) — all nine generations have a page, linked in the footer.
By type
Jump straight to Fire, Water, Dragon, or Ghost (18 types total in the footer), or check any matchup on the type calculator.
