Does the wheel include every Pokémon?
Yes, Base Species mode includes all 1,025 default Pokémon species across Generations 1 through 9. Include Forms expands the pool with regional variants, Mega Evolutions, and alternate forms from the local dataset. The live pool counter serves as the exact source of truth after filters and no-repeat exclusions are applied.
How does the random Pokemon generator wheel choose each winner?
The random Pokemon generator wheel uses a uniform cryptographic pseudo-random draw before the spin animation begins. The canvas calculates the exact slice position for the chosen species and rotates smoothly to land on that segment. Switching between Quick, Normal, and Dramatic speeds changes only visual presentation without altering draw probabilities.
Can I make a random team of six with the wheel?
Yes, switch to Team mode and choose a target size of two, three, or six Pokémon. Each landed winner is automatically placed into the team tray until the roster is complete. You can lock in unique team members by keeping Remove Winners active, and copy the final roster for challenge tracking or competitive team builders.
Can I spin only Gen 1 or a single Pokémon type?
Yes, generation toggle chips from Gen 1 Kanto through Gen 9 Paldea and all 18 elemental type buttons can filter the pool instantly. A dual-type Pokémon remains eligible as long as at least one of its types matches an active filter. Preset buttons also allow one-click setup for common tournament categories.
How does the Remove Winners elimination mode work?
Enabling Remove Winners places each landed Pokémon into a temporary browser-local exclusion bag. The active filters remain untouched while the eligible pool counter decrements with each spin. Once all eligible entries are exhausted, the elimination bag resets automatically for another tournament cycle.
Is this random Pokemon generator wheel suitable for Nuzlocke runs?
Yes, the wheel is widely used by trainers for Nuzlocke route encounter draws, SoulLink randomized pairs, and Wonderlocke rules. The seeded sharing feature allows challenge partners or tournament organizers to verify that everyone rolls from identical filter rules and sequence states.
Does shiny artwork mode change the wheel landing odds?
No, shiny artwork is purely visual and does not alter spin probability or encounter odds. When enabled, the wheel canvas, winner reveal modal, and team tray display official shiny sprites rather than standard colorations.
How do reproducible seeds and share links work?
Every spin configuration generates a unique alphanumeric seed combining your active filters, team size, mode, and roll counter. Clicking Copy Exact Link generates a URL that restores your exact configuration on any device without exposing your private local spin history.
Is this an emulator or ROM randomizer?
No, this is a web-based decision wheel and team drafting tool. It operates entirely inside your modern web browser and does not patch ROM files, alter game cartridges, or modify Nintendo Switch or emulator save data.
