When to use Random Pokémon Type
- Squad night when nobody wants to be the one who picks the next random pokémon type — hand it to the tool.
- Kill time between matches — a fresh random pokémon type keeps the session moving.
- Content creators sourcing "I let Random Pokémon Type decide" videos for a stream or short.
- When you specifically want randomness — not a "recommendation engine", not a ranking, just an unbiased pick.
How the picker works
Random Pokémon Type runs entirely in your browser — no servers, no accounts, no data sent anywhere. Each pick uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random-number generator (window.crypto.getRandomValues), which is uniformly distributed across the option pool.
The pool for this picker: 18 hand-picked options. Every option has an equal probability of being selected on any given pick (about 5.56% per option).
Picker-kind picks return a single random option from the pool. If you add your own options, they're weighted equally alongside the built-in set.
If you want a deliberately weighted pick (favouring some options over others), the picker isn't the right tool — try structuring the choice as a wheel with duplicated entries, or split into two picks (category first, then item within category).

About this category
Gaming decisions are the fastest to bike-shed. A 4-person Fortnite squad can spend 20 minutes deciding drop location before a match. A picker collapses that to a coin-flip.
The category covers loadouts, dares, challenges, difficulty selection, weapon rolls, and next-game picks — anything where "we'll just do a random one" is the honest answer.
