How to Play the Pokemon Type Roulette
One spin decides the type and the tool handles the rest. There is nothing to configure first and nothing to sign up for, so a challenge can start with a single click.
- Spin a typeAll 18 types have an equal chance on every spin.
- Accept the teamThe tool samples six unique base species that include the chosen type.
- Reroll the teamDraw six new Pokemon without losing the type you landed on.
- Take it furtherSend the result to Team Builder, or set your own rules for a run, draft, art prompt, or Showdown challenge.
How the Roulette Picks Your Type
Every spin gives all 18 types an equal chance. There is no weighting and no memory between spins — a result never makes the next one more or less likely.
Once a type is revealed, the tool samples six Pokemon from the same ordinary base-species pool the site's other tools start from: 931 Pokemon that are not Legendary, mythical, or alternate forms. That pool is fixed on this page, so every team you get is one you could actually build in a normal playthrough. After each spin the tool also tells you exactly how many of those 931 match the type you landed on.
Dual-type Pokemon qualify when either of their types matches, so a Fire result can still hand you Charizard. The six are drawn without repeats, so the same species never shows up twice in one team.
Everything runs in your browser. No sign-up, no download, and as many rerolls as you want — whether you came looking for a type wheel or a type randomizer, the draw works the same way: one fair type, six usable Pokemon.
Pokemon Type Challenge Ideas
A single type turns an ordinary run into a puzzle. These five formats use the spin as the opening rule.
Mono-Type Challenge Run
Take the type you land on and build the whole run around it. Every catch has to include that type, which forces coverage you would not normally pick.
Random Type for a Draft or Showdown
Spin before a draft or a Showdown match and let the result set the team rule. Both sides get the same constraint, so the matchup stays fair.
A Type Prompt for Art & Writing
Treat the type as a creative brief: draw six Pokemon that share it, or write a short scene where one type dominates a trainer's team.
Decide Your Next Playthrough Type
Starting a new game and cannot settle on a theme? Spin once and commit to that type instead of rebuilding the same party again.
Run a Group or Livestream Draw
Spin on stream or in a group chat and let the result stand. Everyone watching sees the same reveal, which makes the constraint hard to argue with.
All 18 Types and How Many Pokemon Each Has
Every type draws from the same fixed pool of 931 ordinary base species. These are the counts behind each spin, measured exactly the way the tool measures them.
| Type | Eligible base species |
|---|---|
| Normal | 125 |
| Fire | 73 |
| Water | 146 |
| Electric | 61 |
| Grass | 119 |
| Ice | 43 |
| Fighting | 63 |
| Poison | 78 |
| Ground | 71 |
| Flying | 98 |
| Psychic | 79 |
| Bug | 91 |
| Rock | 71 |
| Ghost | 59 |
| Dragon | 56 |
| Dark | 61 |
| Steel | 55 |
| Fairy | 54 |
The 18 rows add up to 1,403, which is higher than 931 because a dual-type Pokemon counts toward both of its types. The smallest pool, Ice, still holds 43 eligible base species, so any result can fill a complete team of six.
Type Roulette vs Pokemon Wheel vs Random Generator
All three tools read the same local National Pokédex data. What changes is the question each one answers.
This page answers "which type?" — it picks one of 18 types and then builds a team that fits. The pokemon wheel answers "which Pokemon?" by revealing a single species on a spinning wheel. The random generator answers "how many?" — it can return one, three, or six Pokemon at once and lets you narrow the pool by generation as well as type.
Pick the roulette when the constraint matters more than the reveal, the wheel when the reveal is the fun part, and the generator when you want several names quickly.
Mono-Type Team Ideas
Some types are easy to build around and some are not. These four show the shape of the problem, and the same logic covers the other fourteen.
Water. The deepest pool on the site, at 146 eligible species, so choice is the real problem. Aim for a mix of physical and special attackers rather than six swimmers that all do the same job.
Ghost. Only 59 species, and most of them are fast and frail. The team needs one bulky partner and a plan for Normal-type opponents, which Ghost cannot hit at all.
Fire. At 73 species the pool is workable, but much of the type is weak to Water, Ground, and Rock at the same time. Two defensive picks matter more here than a third attacker.
Fairy. The smallest pool at 54 species, and heavily special-attacking. Steel and Poison opponents wall the whole team, so a coverage move or a dual-type partner is not optional.
Whatever type you roll, open the pokemon team builder and check the combined weaknesses before you commit to the run.
Pokemon Type Roulette FAQ
Are dual-type Pokemon allowed?
Yes. A Pokemon qualifies when either of its types matches the roulette result, which creates a larger and more varied team pool.
Does every type have enough Pokemon for a team?
Yes, with a wide margin. Every type has far more than six eligible base species, and the smallest pool, Ice, still holds 43 of them, so any result can fill a complete team of six.
Can I keep the type but change the team?
Yes. Use Reroll team to draw six different Pokemon without spinning for a new type.
Are the odds really the same for every type?
Yes. Every spin draws from all 18 types with equal probability. There is no weighting, no cooldown, and no memory of earlier spins, so a type that just appeared is exactly as likely to appear again.
Are Legendary or mythical Pokemon included?
No. This tool always leaves Legendary, mythical, and alternate-form Pokemon out, so every team it builds is made of ordinary base species. If you want rare Pokemon in the draw, the Pokemon Wheel has a Legendary and mythical filter in its advanced options, and the Random Pokemon Generator lets you add Legendary and mythical Pokemon and alternate forms.
What is the difference between this tool and the Pokemon Wheel?
This tool picks a type first and then builds a team around it. The Pokemon Wheel reveals a single Pokemon instead. Choose the roulette when the type should define the challenge, and the wheel when you want one visible result.
Can I use this for a Nuzlocke run?
Yes, and it suits the usual rules well. Every result is an ordinary base species, so the team is one you could legitimately catch in a standard Nuzlocke run. Settle your reroll rules before the run starts rather than after a bad roll.
Is this an official Pokemon tool?
No. Pokemon Roulette is a fan-made project. Pokemon and related names belong to their respective owners, and this site is not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures, or The Pokemon Company.
