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
- 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.
- Creative inspiration — artists and writers use a random Pokémon as a drawing prompt for daily challenges, fusions, or draw-from-memory games.
- Settling arguments — "random Pokémon says" is a fun way to pick a favorite when you can't decide.

Looking for something more specific? Try a random starter Pokémon, a random legendary or mythical Pokémon, a random shiny Pokémon, a random Pokémon to draw, or spin the Pokémon wheel for a more playful pick. Build a whole squad with the random team generator, then kit it out with the random move generator, the random ability generator, and the Pokémon name generator for a nickname (or a whole new Fakemon). Think you know your silhouettes? Test yourself in the Who's That Pokémon quiz game, or start ticking off every species you've caught in the Pokédex tracker. Every type has its own generator too — popular picks are the random Fire-type generator, the Water-type generator, the Dragon-type generator, and the random Ghost-type Pokémon generator, with the full list of 18 types in the footer.
