1,025 Pokémon match your filters
What is this random Pokémon generator?
This random Pokémon generator selects one species at a time from the National Pokédex. The current pool contains 1,025 species across Gen 1 through Gen 9. With no filters selected, every species in that pool is eligible and has the same chance of being chosen. You can also use it as a random Pokémon picker for a smaller group. Select one or more types or generations, then combine those choices with rarity, evolution, ability, or minimum-stat filters. Type choices work as alternatives, so selecting Fire and Water includes Pokémon with either type. Different filter groups stack, so Fire plus Legendary includes only Pokémon that satisfy both conditions.
How to generate a random Pokémon
- Set the pool. Leave the filters unchanged to use all 1,025 species, or narrow the selection by type, generation, region, rarity, evolution stage, ability, or minimum base stats.
- Choose the display. Keep the standard sprite, switch to shiny artwork, or hide the image if you want to use the name as a drawing or memory prompt.
- Click Generate Random Pokémon. The tool picks one eligible species. Click the same button again whenever you want a new result from the current filtered pool.
Which filters can you use?
Filters change the eligible pool before the random draw. The number beneath the controls updates to show how many Pokémon still match, so you can see whether a combination is broad, narrow, or empty before generating a result.
| Filter | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Type | Includes Pokémon matching any selected type. |
| Generation or region | Limits results to one or more eras from Gen 1 through Gen 9. |
| Evolution | Keeps only fully evolved species when enabled. |
| Minimum stats | Sets a minimum base value for HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, or Speed. |
| Ability | Includes only species that can have the selected ability. |
| Special status | Restricts the pool to legendary, mythical, or starter Pokémon. |
What can you use a random Pokémon generator for?
Drawing prompts
Use a random Pokémon for a daily sketch, a draw-from-memory challenge, or the starting point for a new pose or scene.
Nuzlocke challenges
Choose an encounter, starter, or replacement without favoring a familiar species. Apply the generation and type filters to match the game or route rules you are using.
Battle restrictions
Pick one species as the required lead, the only Pokémon allowed to hold an item, or the Pokémon both players must build around in a friendly battle.
Quick decisions
Let a random result settle which Pokémon to research, train, nickname, or use for a themed challenge when no option has a clear advantage.

Random Pokémon generator FAQ
Does the generator include every Pokémon?
It includes 1,025 species from the National Pokédex, covering Gen 1 through Gen 9. The pool uses one entry per species rather than separate entries for every alternate form, costume, or temporary battle transformation.
Can I combine several filters?
Yes. Multiple choices inside the same group are alternatives: Fire and Water includes either type. Choices from different groups must all match. Fire, Gen 1, and fully evolved therefore returns only species that meet all three conditions.
Does the shiny option change the odds?
No. The shiny switch changes the artwork used for the selected species; it does not simulate in-game shiny odds or make one species more likely to appear. The underlying Pokémon draw remains random within the filtered pool.
Can this generator create a full team?
The homepage intentionally returns one Pokémon per click. To draw six different species together, use the random Pokémon team generator, which is designed for complete team results.
