Random Pokemon Generator
Generate random Pokemon from all generations with filters for type, generation, and shiny variants
[ Pokemon Generator - Quick Summary ]
What: Generate random Pokemon from all 9 generations (1,025 Pokemon total). Filter by generation (Kanto through Paldea), Pokemon type (Fire, Water, Grass, etc.), and toggle shiny variants. Generate up to 100 Pokemon at once with complete stats, abilities, and sprites.
When to use: Building Pokemon teams, randomizer challenges, Nuzlocke runs, team planning, game development testing, educational projects, Pokemon trivia games, content creation, fantasy draft leagues.
Example: #0025 Pikachu (Electric) - Seed Pokemon | #0006 Charizard (Fire/Flying) - Flame Pokemon
Security: Uses cryptographically secure random selection (CSPRNG) to ensure truly random, unpredictable Pokemon generation with uniform distribution across all filters.
Our Pokemon generator helps you generate random Pokemon from all 9 generations (1,025 Pokemon). Generate-Random.org provides a free random Pokemon picker that creates cryptographically random selections with filters for generation, type, and shiny variants. This Pokemon randomizer tool generates Pokemon with complete data including names (English/Japanese), types, abilities, stats, species, and official artwork sprites stored locally. Generate up to 100 Pokemon with bulk export to TXT, CSV, or JSON. Perfect for random name generation, team building, randomizer challenges, and game development testing. All Pokemon generated with cryptographic-quality randomness for maximum variety. No signup required, completely free. Works with all Pokemon from Generation I (Kanto) through Generation IX (Paldea).

What is a Pokemon Generator?
A Pokemon generator is a tool that randomly selects Pokemon from the complete Pokedex database spanning all 9 generations. Our generator includes all 1,025 Pokemon from Generation I (Kanto region, 1996) through Generation IX (Paldea region, 2022), complete with official artwork sprites, English and Japanese names, type classifications, abilities, species data, and physical stats. Use generation filters to focus on specific regions (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, Paldea), type filters for Pokemon like Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, and more, plus shiny variant toggles for rare color variations.
Our Pokemon generator uses cryptographically secure randomization (CSPRNG) to ensure truly random, unpredictable selections with uniform distribution across all filters. Perfect for building competitive teams, randomizer challenges, Nuzlocke runs, trivia games, or game development testing. All Pokemon sprites are stored locally for fast, reliable access without external dependencies. For other gaming tools, try our Minecraft seed generator or dice roller.

Technical Details: Pokemon Generation Algorithm
Our Pokemon generator uses a comprehensive dataset of 1,025 Pokemon with complete metadata including Pokedex numbers, English/Japanese names, type classifications, abilities, species, height, weight, and generation data. The generator applies user-defined filters (generation, type, shiny) to create a filtered pool, then uses cryptographically secure random selection (CSPRNG) to choose Pokemon with uniform distribution. All Pokemon sprites (2,050 images: 1,025 normal + 1,025 shiny) are stored locally for fast, reliable access without external API dependencies. This ensures consistent performance and eliminates third-party service risks.
// Pokemon Generation Algorithm
Dataset: 1,025 Pokemon (Generations I-IX)
Filters: generation (1-9 or 'all'), type (18 types or 'all'), shiny (boolean)
Algorithm: CSPRNG with uniform distribution
// Step 1: Load Pokemon dataset from JSON (1.7MB)
$pokemon_data = load_json('pokemon-data.json'); // 1,025 Pokemon
// Step 2: Apply generation filter
if ($generation !== 'all') {
$filtered = array_filter($pokemon_data, function($p) use ($generation) {
return extract_generation_number($p['generation']) == $generation;
});
}
// Step 3: Apply type filter (checks dual-type Pokemon)
if ($type !== 'all') {
$filtered = array_filter($filtered, function($p) use ($type) {
return in_array($type, $p['formData'][0]['type']);
});
}
// Step 4: Randomly select Pokemon without replacement
$selected = cryptographically_secure_random_sample($filtered, $count);
// Step 5: Format output with local sprite paths
foreach ($selected as $pokemon) {
$id = ltrim($pokemon['id'], '#'); // "#0025" -> "25"
$sprite_path = $shiny
? "/images/pokemon/official-artwork/shiny/{$id}.png"
: "/images/pokemon/official-artwork/normal/{$id}.png";
// Return: id, name, types, species, generation, abilities, height, weight, sprite
}
Security: CSPRNG ensures unpredictable, non-repeating selections
Distribution: Uniform across filtered Pokemon pool
Sprites: 2,050 PNG images stored locally (50-100MB total)
Compatibility: All 9 generations, 18 types, normal + shiny variants
