DIY Pokémon Card Selector Spinner (Which Starter Will You Get?)

Build your own cool spinning wheel out of cardboard to randomly pick which starter Pokémon (Scorbunny, Sobble, or Grookey) you'll start with. Perfect for card games, real-life battles, or just fun.

Cardboard (about 12" x 12")

Paper (for printed artwork or hand-drawn Pokémon)

Toothpick or wooden skewer (as axle)

Push pin or thumbtack

Glue or tape

Scissors or craft knife

Marker/pencil

Ruler

Optional: Color printer

Cut out a circle from cardboard (around 8-10 inches wide).

Divide it into 3 sections (like a pizza).

Label each: Scorbunny 🔥, Sobble 💧, Grookey 🍃.

Add artwork, either draw them or print little images.

Cut out a small triangle-shaped arrow (about 4 inches).

Poke a hole in the center of the spinner circle and arrow.

Use a toothpick or skewer as the axle.

Push it through the arrow and spinner, then anchor with a bead, eraser, or paper backing so it spins freely.

Pin or glue the wheel onto a piece of cardboard backing so it doesn’t flop around.

Add a base to help it stand up (folded cardboard works great!).

Add stats or short bios about each Pokémon.

Make a “Shiny” chance space if you want.

Add lights, glitter, or Pokéball designs around the edge.

Spin the arrow to see which starter you’ll choose.

▪️ Picking who goes first in a battle
