Random Pokémon Generator
A random Pokémon generator picks Pokémon at random from a list. Choose how many you want, narrow them by generation or starting letter, and press Generate. Use it for Nuzlocke runs, team challenges, drawing prompts, or settling a debate about who to use. The list covers Pokédex numbers 1 to 251, and everything runs in your browser.
What is in the list
| Generation | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Generation 1 | Pokédex numbers 1 to 151, from Bulbasaur to Mew. |
| Generation 2 | Pokédex numbers 152 to 251, from Chikorita to Celebi. |

Common questions
Which Pokémon are in the list?
The list holds the 251 Pokémon from generations 1 and 2, Pokédex numbers 1 to 251. Later generations are not included yet. The tool shows names only, with no images or stats.
Will I get the same Pokémon twice in one draw?
No. A single draw returns distinct Pokémon. If you ask for more than match your filters, you get every match once.
How is the pick random?
The tool uses your browser’s cryptographic random number source, so each Pokémon in the filtered list has an equal chance of being chosen.
Is this an official Pokémon tool?
No. It is an independent fan utility and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak or The Pokémon Company. Pokémon and the Pokémon names belong to their owners.
Does it send anything to a server?
No. The list and the draw both live in your browser. Nothing is sent or stored.
