Favorite Pokémon Picker — Pick Your #1 Favorite Pokémon
The ultimate favorite Pokémon picker. Use tournament-style elimination across all 1,025 Pokémon to discover your true favorites, ranked in order. Filter by generation, type, or shiny form — then pick your favorite Pokémon from every batch until your #1 emerges.
🧠 How the Favorite Pokémon Picker Works
Pick Your Favorites Each Round
The Pokémon favorite picker shows you a batch of Pokémon at a time. Click the ones you prefer and press Pick. The Pokémon you didn't select are eliminated — but fairly, only by the ones you chose over them.
Smart Rescue Algorithm
When your favorite Pokémon is found, all Pokémon it beat come back for second place. This ensures your true #2 can't be knocked out unfairly by your #1 in an early round — making this the most accurate Pokémon picker available.
Your Ranked Favorites List
Your "My Favorite Pokémon" list builds up in ranked order. Continue as long as you like — you could rank all 1,025 Pokémon from most to least favorite. Export the list or copy it to share with friends!
❤️ About This Favorite Pokémon Picker
Our favorite Pokémon picker is the most complete tool available for deciding which Pokémon you love most. With all 1,025 Pokémon from Generation 1 (Kanto) through Generation 9 (Paldea) fully included, this Pokémon favorite picker uses a smart tournament-elimination algorithm to help you rank your picks accurately and fairly — no more agonising over impossible decisions.
Why Use a Pokémon Favorite Picker?
Picking your favorite Pokémon sounds simple, but with over a thousand species across nine generations it quickly becomes overwhelming. The classic method of just "thinking about it" is unreliable — you'll always second-guess yourself. A tournament-style Pokémon picker favorite tool solves this by breaking the problem down into small, manageable comparisons. You only ever need to decide: "Which of these do I prefer?" The algorithm handles the rest.
Whether you want to find your my favorite Pokémon of all time, your favorite by type, or your favorite from a single generation, this tool makes it easy, fast, and genuinely fun.

💡 Tips for Picking Your Favorite Pokémon
Start Broad, Then Narrow Down
When you first use the favorite Pokémon picker, try using a larger batch size (18 or 24) and pick generously — select every Pokémon you have any fondness for. This moves weaker contenders out of the pool quickly. As the pool shrinks, start being more selective until you're down to your true top picks.
Use Generation Filters for Faster Results
If you want to pick your favorite Pokémon from a specific era, use the Generation filter. Finding your favorite Gen 1 Pokémon from 151 options is much faster than tackling all 1,025 at once. You can run separate sessions for each generation to build a per-gen favorites chart.
Pick Your Favorite Pokémon by Type
One of the most popular uses of our Pokémon favorite picker is to find your favorite of each type. Set the Type Filter to "Fire" and run through all Fire-types, then do the same for Water, Grass, and every other type. At the end, you'll have a complete favourite-by-type breakdown — perfect for sharing on social media or Pokémon fan communities.
Don't Second-Guess Yourself
The best results come from quick, instinctive picks. Go with your gut when you pick favorite Pokémon — you can always run the picker again if your tastes change. The smart rescue algorithm ensures that even if you make a "wrong" call early on, your true favorites will still emerge at the top.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Favorite Pokémon Picker
📖 How to Use the Pokémon Favorite Picker — Step by Step
Step 1: Choose Your Filter
Before you start picking, decide the scope. Select a Generation if you want to find your favorite Pokémon from a specific region — for example, picking only from Gen 4 Sinnoh Pokémon to find your all-time favorite Sinnoh mon. Select a Type if you want to run a per-type favorite session. Leave both set to "All" if you want to find your ultimate favorite Pokémon from the entire roster of 1,025.
Step 2: Set Your Batch Size
Choose how many Pokémon to compare at once. A batch of 6 makes each decision easier but takes more rounds. A batch of 24 lets you eliminate large numbers quickly but requires more careful attention. For most players, the default of 12 is a good balance when using the Pokémon favorite picker.
Step 3: Start Picking
Press "Start Picking Your Favorites" and the tournament begins. Each round, click every Pokémon you prefer over the others in that batch, then press Pick. You can select one or multiple Pokémon per round. The ones you don't select are eliminated by your picks.
Step 4: Watch Your Favorites List Build
As the pool narrows down to a single Pokémon, your #1 favorite Pokémon is revealed and added to the "My Favorite Pokémon" ranked list on the right. The algorithm then rescues all Pokémon that were beaten by your #1 and continues the tournament for second place. Keep going as long as you like.
Step 5: Export and Share
Once you've found enough of your favorite Pokémon, use the Copy List button to copy your ranking to the clipboard, or Export to download it as a text file. Share your favorite Pokémon picks on Reddit, Discord, social media, or with your friends!
