## About
RandomPokemons.com is a free, static, privacy-friendly random Pokémon generator (also called a Pokémon randomizer or random Pokémon picker). It draws from the complete National Pokédex, #0001 Bulbasaur through #1025 Pecharunt, plus 184 Mega Evolution, Gigantamax and regional forms. All randomness is uniform and generated in the browser with crypto.getRandomValues, so every eligible Pokémon has an equal chance and nothing is uploaded.

## Core Features
- Generate 1 to 6 random Pokémon in one tap; default is a full team of 6, auto-rolled on load.
- Filter by generation/region (Kanto through Paldea), type (all 18), and rarity (Legendaries toggle).
- Advanced filters: evolution stage, fully-evolved-only, special forms (Mega, Gigantamax, regional), shiny mode, no-duplicates, and unique-types-only.
- Shiny modes: full odds (authentic 1 in 4096), boosted (1 in 64), or always shiny. Rolled shinies save to a local collection.
- Every result shows official artwork, types, Pokédex number, generation, abilities (hidden ability flagged), and full base stats.
- Click any Pokémon for a detail view with stats, height/weight, ability descriptions, a clickable evolution line, and shiny/game-sprite toggles.
- Share link reproduces the exact generated team; re-roll individual slots; copy results.
- Light and dark themes, WCAG 2.2 AA, fully usable on mobile.

## Use Cases
