Which Pokemon are on this wheel?

All 151 original Generation 1 Pokemon from the Red and Blue games: Bulbasaur through Mew (Pokedex numbers 001 to 151).

Can I use this for a Nuzlocke challenge?

Yes. Spin to get your random starter for a modified Nuzlocke, or spin to pick a random team for a challenge run. You can also use the full wheel to pick 6 Pokemon at once using eliminate mode.

Why only Gen 1 and not all generations?

Gen 1 is the most universally recognized set. For later generations or a custom mix, open the full wheel builder, load these 151, and add any other Pokemon you want from any generation.

How do I use this to build a random team of 6?

Click Launch Full Wheel, then switch to Eliminate mode. Spin 6 times and each picked Pokemon is removed from the pool. Your final 6 spins become your team. No duplicates guaranteed.

What is the rarest Pokemon on this wheel?

Every Pokemon has an equal chance of being picked since the wheel is unweighted. In the original games, Chansey had the lowest encounter rate (1 percent in the Safari Zone). On this wheel though, Chansey spins just as often as Rattata.

How Pokemon Players Use This Wheel

The Pokemon community has found some creative uses for a random Gen 1 picker. Here are the most popular ones.

🎮

Nuzlocke Starter Picker

Can't commit to a starter for your next Nuzlocke? Spin the wheel and accept whatever you get. Metapod is a legitimate starter and you will not hear otherwise.

⚔️

Random Team Builder

Use eliminate mode to spin 6 times. Each picked Pokemon is your team member. No duplicates. No complaining. Build around what you got.

🧠

Pokemon Trivia

Spin to pick a random Pokemon, then ask trivia questions about that Pokemon. What type is it? What does it evolve into? What is its signature move? Great for group play.

🎨

Art Challenge Picker

Pokemon artists use random spinners to pick their next drawing subject. Spin, get Koffing, draw the most beautiful Koffing anyone has ever seen. That is the challenge.

🏆

Tournament Brackets

Building a "best Pokemon" tournament? Spin to randomly seed the bracket so nobody picks their favorites for the easy side. Fair seeding, maximum arguments.

👥

Party Game Assignments

Spin to assign everyone a Pokemon for a cosplay meetup, themed party, or "which Pokemon are you" icebreaker. People who get Rattata have to act like Rattata all night.

All 9 Pokemon Generations

This wheel covers Gen 1 (Kanto). The full NameWheel builder lets you paste any list, so you can load Pokemon from any generation or mix them freely. Here is the complete regional breakdown so you know exactly what you are working with.

All 18 Pokemon Types

Every Pokemon on this wheel has at least one of these types. The type system runs all battle matchups: double damage, half damage, no damage. Gen 1 originally had 15 types. Dark, Steel, and Fairy were added later to fix balance problems that had gotten out of hand.

Normal

Immune to Ghost attacks. Weak to Fighting. No type it hits super effectively.

Fire

Beats Grass, Bug, Steel, Ice. Weak to Water, Rock, Ground.

Water

Covers Fire, Rock, Ground. Resisted by Grass, Water, Dragon.

Electric

Immune to Ground type moves. Strong vs Water and Flying. Only one weakness.

Grass

Beats Water, Rock, Ground. Has 5 weaknesses including Fire, Ice, Bug, Flying, Poison.

Ice

One of the weakest defensive typings. Excellent coverage vs Dragon, Grass, Flying, Ground.

Fighting

Only type that hits Normal super effectively. Counters Dark, Ice, Rock, Steel.

Poison

One of only two types that hit Fairy super effectively. Resisted by Poison, Ground, Rock, Ghost.

Ground

Immune to Electric. Beats Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, Steel. Flying types are immune.

Flying

Immune to Ground attacks. Good coverage against Grass, Fighting, Bug.

Psychic

Near-broken in Gen 1 due to a Ghost immunity bug. Now correctly weak to Bug, Ghost, Dark.

Bug

Underwhelming in Gen 1. Has since improved. Hits Dark, Grass, Psychic super effectively.

Rock

4 weaknesses (Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground). Strong coverage against Fire, Ice, Flying, Bug.

Ghost

Immune to Normal and Fighting. Only Ghost and Dark can hit it super effectively.

Dragon

Resists Water, Fire, Grass, Electric. Only Ice and Fairy hit it super effectively. Fairy added to balance it.

Dark

Added in Gen 2 to fix Psychic dominance. Immune to Prankster. Weak to Fighting, Bug, Fairy.

Steel

Immune to Poison. Has 10 resistances. Best defensive typing in the game, it is not even close.

Fairy

Added in Gen 6 to nerf Dragon. Immune to Dragon entirely. Weak only to Poison and Steel.

Challenge Run Formats That Need a Random Picker

The Pokemon fanbase has built a whole ecosystem of self-imposed challenge runs that turn the main games into something much more brutal than Game Freak intended. Most of them involve randomness somewhere. That is where this wheel comes in.

Classic Nuzlocke

The original challenge run

Only catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each new area. One chance, that is it.
If a Pokemon faints it is dead. Box it or release it, no reviving.
All Pokemon must be nicknamed. Yes, this makes losing them hurt more. That is the point.
Use this wheel to pick your starter randomly if you cannot commit to one.

Randomizer Nuzlocke

Nuzlocke on top of a fully randomized game

A ROM randomizer shuffles which Pokemon appear in every route and what moves they learn.
All Nuzlocke rules still apply on top of the randomization.
Use the wheel to randomize gym leader types, trainer restrictions, or item availability rules.
Popular streaming format because no two runs look remotely the same.

Monotype Run

One type. Your whole team. The entire game.

Every Pokemon on your team must share a single type you choose at the start.
Spin the wheel to pick your type randomly if you are not playing on easy mode.
Some types are agony in Gen 1. Ice-only before Cerulean City is a nightmare scenario.
Dual-type Pokemon are allowed as long as they have your required type.

Wedlocke

Pokemon are paired. If one dies, both do.

Every Pokemon is paired into a couple when caught. Each pair can only switch into each other.
If one Pokemon in a pair faints, its partner must be released too.
Creates brutal emotional investment when a pair has been with you since Route 1.
Spin the wheel to randomly assign pair partners from your box.

VGC 2025 Competitive Meta: Top Pokemon

The Video Game Championship is Pokemon's official competitive format. VGC 2025 runs Reg G rules: doubles, bring 4 from 6, and one restricted legendary required on your team. None of these are Gen 1 Pokemon (sorry Alakazam), but understanding the competitive scene is half the fun of being a Pokemon fan.

Miraidon

Restricted Legendary

Electric/Dragon powerhouse. Hadron Engine sets Electric Terrain, powering up its whole team passively.

Koraidon

Restricted Legendary

Physical attacker with Collision Course. Orichalcum Pulse sets permanent Harsh Sun for Fire coverage.

Flutter Mane

Special Attacker

Ghost/Fairy with enormous Sp. Atk. Protosynthesis boosts it further in sun. Top 5 usage for two consecutive seasons.

Iron Hands

Bulky Attacker

Both Trick Room setter and Belly Drum sweeper depending on build. Pairs ruthlessly well with Miraidon.

Incineroar

Support

Intimidate plus Parting Shot plus Fake Out. Has been meta-relevant in VGC since 2019. Still extremely annoying.

Rillaboom

Terrain Setter

Grassy Surge sets terrain on entry. Grassy Glide becomes a priority move in Grassy Terrain. Passive healing included.

Amoonguss

Redirector

Rage Powder pulls attacks away from a fragile partner. Spore is the most reliable sleep move in the doubles format.

Chi-Yu

Special Attacker

Beads of Ruin passively cuts all nearby Special Defense by 25%. The most passive damage dealer in the entire format.

VGC runs as double battles: 4 Pokemon brought from a team of 6, 45 seconds per turn, best of three games. Official tournaments run worldwide, with the World Championships as the annual finale.

Pokemon Wheel FAQ

Does this have all 151 original Pokemon?

Yes, all 151 from Bulbasaur (#001) to Mew (#151). The full wheel includes every Pokemon from Pokemon Red and Blue including Farfetch'd, Mr. Mime, and all three legendary birds. Mewtwo and Mew are on there too, spinning with the same odds as everyone else.

Can I use this for a Nuzlocke run?

Absolutely. Spin for your starter, or use the full wheel in eliminate mode to pick a restricted team for your run. You can also spin to randomly determine your Pokemon for each gym challenge. The wheel is completely fair and has no memory of previous results.

How do I build a random team of 6?

Click Launch Full Wheel, then switch to Eliminate mode from the settings panel. Spin 6 times and each winner is automatically removed from the pool. Your 6 picks become your team. No duplicates possible in eliminate mode.

Can I add Pokemon from later generations?

Yes. Click Launch Full Wheel to open the editor with all 151 Gen 1 Pokemon pre-loaded. Then type any additional Pokemon you want from Gen 2 through Gen 9. The wheel handles unlimited entries and you can mix generations freely.

Why is Farfetch'd written with an apostrophe?

That is the official spelling of the Pokemon name. It refers to the idiom "far-fetched" and the apostrophe is part of the name in every official Pokemon game and merchandise. Farfetch'd is a great Pokemon and this question is valid.
