How to use the Pokémon starter wheel

  1. 1

    Spin the wheel before launching a new game save file.

  2. 2

    Commit to picking the chosen starter partner for the duration of your journey.

Ways to use this wheel

  • New Game Randomizer: Begin your new save with whichever starter fate dictates.
  • Streamer Community Poll: Let chat watch the wheel spin live to choose your companion.

Can’t pick a starter?

The choice between a Grass, Fire and Water starter is the first decision of many games, and it is easy to freeze. The wheel includes starters from several regions, so you can use it to choose both a game and a starter, or just leave the choice to chance.

If you want a challenge, commit to the result even if it is not your favorite. Many players find they bond with a starter they would not have picked. Spin once for each person in a group and compare team stories later.

Limiting it to one game

Delete the starters from regions you are not playing, leaving the three for your game. For a Nuzlocke or randomizer run, combine it with the rules wheel.

Frequently asked questions

Can I narrow this down to just the three starters of one specific game?

Yes, simply delete the entries for other regions and keep only the 3 starters for your game.

What is on the Pokémon Starter Wheel?

It opens with 18 entries: Bulbasaur (Kanto Grass), Charmander (Kanto Fire), Squirtle (Kanto Water) and 15 more. Everything on it is editable, so you can swap in your own list in a few seconds.

What can I use this wheel for?

People use it for challenge runs, loadouts and stream nights. Popular ideas include New Game Randomizer and Streamer Community Poll. For example, New Game Randomizer: begin your new save with whichever starter fate dictates.

Is this wheel really random?

Yes. Nothing about it is rigged: the winner is chosen by your browser's secure random number generator, so a list of 18 gives each entry a 5.56% chance until you change the weights. How our randomness works has the full explanation.

Can I stop the same result coming up twice?

Yes. The wheel can drop each result after it is picked, so the wheel never shows the same entry twice until you reset the list. The option is called Remove winner.

Can I share or embed this wheel?

Yes. The Share button gives you a link with your edited list built in, so anyone who opens it sees the same wheel. The Embed button gives you code to place it on your own page.
