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 ''"{{tt|Enemy|No prefix when referring to the player's Pokémon}} <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.

If a Pokémon with {{a|Parental Bond}} uses Present and heals the target, it will only hit once. However, if it damages the target, it will hit twice.
If the target is affected by {{m|Heal Block}}, then Present will not heal its HP, although damage is still dealt normally.
