Present can either deal damage against the target or heal it for <sup>1</sup>/<sub>4</sub> of its maximum HP. If Present deals damage, then the base power of Present is chosen at random from 40, 80, or 120.

If Present would heal the target but it has full HP, a message is displayed that says ''"<Enemy/Wild> <Pokémon> can't receive the gift!"'' In Pokémon Stadium 2, the move is still performed but the message ''"It couldn't receive the gift!"'' is displayed.
In the core series, Present will have a 20% chance of healing Pokémon with full HP, though the message afterwards slightly differs depending on the game.  In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, if it would heal the target but it has full HP, a message is displayed that says ''"<Enemy/Wild> <Pokémon> can't receive the gift!"'' In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the move is still performed but the message ''"It couldn't receive the gift!"'' is displayed.  In English {{game|Crystal}}, no message will be displayed.


Present's effect is chosen randomly as shown below.

In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (and any link battle with either of them), a [[glitch]] causes the [[level]], {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} variables of the [[damage calculation|damage formula]] to be replaced. The Attack will be replaced with 10, while the level will be based on the index number of the defending Pokémon's type, and the Defense will be based on the index number of the attacking Pokémon's type (if a Pokémon has two types, its secondary type will be used). Also, Present only inflicts a quarter of the normal damage against Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon.

In the core series, it will still have a 20% chance of healing Pokémon with full HP, though nothing will happen. In Pokémon Stadium 2, it will still perform the move but it will say ''"It couldn't receive the gift!"
