Random Pokémon Picker: how it works

Get up to 24 random Pokémon at once, narrowed down by as many filters as you like.

How do I use the Random Pokémon Picker?

Press Generate Random Pokémon. You get 6 Pokémon by default; change that under Generate to 1, 3, 6, 12 or 24. Each one gets a random nature, and no entry comes up twice in one batch, though a Pokémon and one of its forms (Charizard and Mega Charizard X, say) can, unless you turn on Default Forms Only. Don’t like one? The reroll button on its card redraws just that slot (now and then it lands on the same Pokémon again).

What can I filter by?

Types, Generation (Gen 1 to 9), Regions, Forms, Evolution (Unevolved, Evolved Once, Evolved Twice), Gender, Minimum Stats (a slider for each of the six base stats), Natures, Ability and Special (Legendary and Mythical). A Pokémon has to pass every filter you set to come up; Natures only changes the nature each one gets.

Can I get random dual-type Pokémon?

Yes. Pick one type to get any Pokémon that has it. Pick two and you only get Pokémon with both, such as Water and Ground for Swampert or Quagsire.

How do I get only Legendary Pokémon, or leave them out?

Use the Legendary and Mythical chips under Special. Tap once for only Legendaries (or Mythicals). Tap again and it becomes No Legendary (or No Mythical), which leaves them out. A third tap turns the filter off.

Are Mega Evolutions and regional forms included?

Yes, by default. Under Forms you can switch off Include Mega Forms, Include Gigantamax or Include Regional Variants, choose which regional variants count (Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, Paldean), or turn on Default Forms Only to get just the standard version of each Pokémon.

What does the nature filter do?

It picks the natures handed out, not the Pokémon. Every result gets a random nature; select some under Natures (Adamant and Jolly, say) and each Pokémon gets one of those instead.

Can I share my filters?

Yes. Share Filters copies a link with your current filters, and the page address updates as you change them, so you can bookmark it too. Whoever opens the link gets the same filters but their own random Pokémon.

Can I see a Pokémon's stats or its shiny form?

Flip the Shiny switch on a card to see its shiny artwork, or play its cry from the speaker button. Tap the card (or More) for its Pokédex entry, base stats, abilities, EV yield, catch rate, egg groups, gender ratio, height and weight.

How is this different from the Pokémon Wheel?

This picker deals out a batch of up to 24 at once and has the most filters. The Pokémon Wheel spins for one Pokémon at a time, with a team-of-6 mode, an elimination mode and custom wheels.
