About & Contact - Random Pokemon Generator

Built by a fan, for fans

Random Pokemon Generator started as one tool: a random Pokemon generator with filters and a team report. It grew from there into a full toolkit. New tools and refinements ship regularly, driven by what players ask for, and every update keeps the same bar: fast to load, accurate data, and useful within seconds of opening the page.

All creature data — names, types, stats, abilities and artwork — comes from the open PokeAPI dataset, and nothing is stored on our servers: your filters, history and share links live in your own browser.

Every kind of random

The suite now covers structured runs with the Nuzlocke Team Builder, squad building with the Pokemon Team Picker, single dramatic picks on the Pokemon Wheel Spinner, shiny hunting with the Random Shiny Pokemon Generator and the Pokemon Shiny Odds calculator, and Mega Evolution rolls with the Random Mega Pokemon Generator. The Pokemon Nature Chart rounds out the suite with all 25 natures and a best-nature finder for every species.

Games, not just generators

Some pages are pure play: judge the whole dex in Pokemon Smash or Pass, name the silhouette in Who's That Pokemon, or find the perfect nickname with the Random Pokemon Name Generator. Each tool runs entirely in your browser with no accounts and no sign-up.

Reference pages and calculators

Beyond the rollers, the site keeps its reference pages current. The Pokemon Type Chart covers all 324 matchups with a dual-type calculator, the Pokemon Nature Chart lists all 25 natures with per-species recommendations, the Pokemon Shiny Odds calculator walks through every hunting method, and the Pokemon IV Calculator reconstructs hidden IVs from the stats you actually see in-game.

Two more pages live outside the "random" theme on purpose. The Random Pokemon Picker is the single-draw version of the main generator, and Pokemon Search is the fastest way to pull any species by name. All of them read from the same dataset, so a Pokemon you search is the same Pokemon you can roll, tune, and print.

Bugs and data errors

The fastest way to reach the maintainer is an issue on the public GitHub repository: github.com/githubi2/Random-Pokemon-Generator. Include the page URL, what you expected, and what actually happened. Wrong stats, outdated mechanics, and broken filters are top priority and usually fixed in the next update.

Feature and tool suggestions

Ideas are welcome through the same issues page — several shipped tools began as player suggestions. The most useful requests describe the scenario: a Nuzlocke rule set, a stream segment, a draft league format, a classroom activity. If it fits the site's random-tools focus and can be built with open data, it goes on the roadmap.

What to expect

This is a hobby project maintained alongside a day job, so replies are not instant — but every issue is read, and the public issue tracker shows progress. For privacy-related questions, the Privacy Policy answers most of them in plain language.
