Free Pokémon Widgets for Your Website
Add a live random Pokémon generator or a type effectiveness lookup to your blog, wiki, Discord landing page, or forum post. Both widgets are free, need no signup or API key, weigh only a few kilobytes, and adapt to light and dark themes automatically. Copy a snippet below and paste it anywhere HTML is allowed — that's it.
1. Random Pokémon Generator Widget
A button that rolls one of all 1,025 Pokémon from every generation and shows its official artwork, number, and typing. Every roll links straight to that Pokémon's full Pokédex entry, so your visitors can keep exploring. Great for fan sites, Nuzlocke challenge posts, and "random Pokémon of the week" sidebars.

2. Type Effectiveness Widget
A compact dropdown that instantly lists what any attacking type hits for 2× super effective, ½× not very effective, and 0× no damage. Perfect for strategy articles, raid guides, and team-building blog posts — it answers the eternal "what beats what?" question right inside your page.

Embed code (JavaScript)
<!-- PokémonRandom — Type Effectiveness widget -->
<script async src="https://pokemonrandom.com/widget.js"></script>
<div class="pokemonrandom-widget" data-widget="types"></div>Both JavaScript widgets can live on the same page — the script initializes every .pokemonrandom-widget div it finds.
Where the Widgets Work
Both widgets are plain HTML + one lightweight script, so they run on any platform that lets you paste your own code — WordPress (Custom HTML block), Blogger (HTML/JavaScript gadget), Ghost, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, most forum systems with HTML enabled, and of course any hand-built site. If a platform strips<script> tags, it unfortunately cannot run the widget — it needs JavaScript to fetch live Pokémon data from PokeAPI.
Sizing & placement tips
- The widgets are responsive — they fill the width of their container (up to 560px) and reflow on mobile.
- To make one narrower, wrap the container:
<div style="max-width:320px">…</div> - The script loads
asyncand never blocks your page rendering — safe above the fold in sidebars and footers. - Both widgets automatically match your visitor's light or dark color preference.
