Spin for a random Pokémon type

This wheel contains all 18 Pokémon types. Spin it to set up challenge runs, decide a team theme, or pick a type for drawing practice.

Challenge ideas

  • Monotype run: spin a type and use only Pokémon of that type for a full playthrough.
  • Type draft: friends spin in turn, and each builds a team from their type for a battle.
  • Nuzlocke twist: spin a type to ban for the whole run.
  • Gym leader challenge: spin a type and build the strongest gym team you can.

Drawing and creative ideas

Artists use the wheel for fakemon design: spin one or two types, then design an original creature that combines them. Spin twice for a dual-type challenge, such as Ghost/Fairy or Steel/Water.

Quick type matchups

  • Fire beats Grass, Ice, Bug and Steel
