ONE FAIR PICK

Choose a starter without overthinking it

Set your eligible games, choose a classic starter type if you want, and let the seed make the final call.

Start a new playthrough

Break out of your usual pick and begin with a partner you might normally skip.

Set a Nuzlocke rule

Use a shared seed so friends can verify or play the same starter challenge.

Run a friendly challenge

Give everyone one roll, or reroll until each person receives a different starter.

Plan a themed run

Limit the pool by generation or Grass, Fire, and Water to match your rules.

THE POOL

Main-series starters, clearly filtered

The core pool includes all twenty-seven traditional Grass, Fire, and Water starters from Generations 1–9. Pikachu and Eevee are optional because they are special partner choices rather than members of the traditional starter trio.

Every result uses the same card as the full generator, so you can inspect abilities and stats, switch to shiny artwork, save the pick, or share it by seed.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Which Pokémon count as starters?

The default pool contains the Grass, Fire, and Water first partners from the nine main-series generations.

Can Pikachu or Eevee be selected?

Yes. Turn on Include Pikachu or Include Eevee to add the partner choices from Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon: Let’s Go.

Can I pick a starter from one generation?

Yes. Select any one generation, or combine several generations into a custom starter pool.

Can I choose only Fire, Water, or Grass starters?

Yes. The starter type control can limit the pool to Fire, Water, or Grass, or leave all three available.

Is the same starter reproducible from a seed?

Yes. A seed with the same generation, type, Pikachu, and Eevee settings produces the same starter.

Is this useful for a Nuzlocke?
