To activate the Mystery Gift system in the Generation II games, players must use a Game Boy Color or [[Game Boy Advance]] system, then talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] and [[Saving|save]] the game; after doing this, the option to use the system will be available from the [[main menu]]. While Mystery Gift can be activated on a Game Boy Advance system, it cannot be used on them due to the lack of an infrared port.

When Mystery Gift is used to connect to another Generation II [[core series]] game, each of the connected games will receive a random item. When it is used to connect to Stadium 2, the handheld game will receive an item. Some items can only be received when communicating with Stadium 2. When connecting to Pikachu 2 GS, the player decides on a number of {{OBP|Watt|currency}}s to transfer from the device, and the item received will depend on the amount of transferred Watts.

In [[Generation III]], the primary use of the Mystery Gift system is to receive special [[item]]s at {{pkmn2|event|Nintendo events}}. It is language-dependent, meaning players can only receive Mystery Gifts that are intended for games of their language. It is only available by using {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} with a [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] or (for Japanese games only) an [[e-Reader]].

To activate the Mystery Gift system, players need to walk up to the questionnaire found at any [[Poké Mart]], fill it by entering the phrase below using the [[easy chat system]] (based on the language of the game) and [[Saving|save]] the game. The clerk behind the counter will then inform the player that the Mystery Gift system has been activated, and it will be accessible from the [[main menu]] from that point on.

In [[Generation IV]], the Mystery Gift system can be used to transfer {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, or receive [[items]] and Pokémon from {{g|Battle Revolution}}. Players are able to receive gifts wirelessly, from the defunct [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] service, or from a friend. A specific gift can only be received once. As a result, a player can only get one of each item and Pokémon from said games and also only one of each Pokémon from events. Gifts are transferred via [[Wonder Card]], which players can store up to three of. This forces players to discard used Wonder Cards so that they will have no more than two cards before receiving another Mystery Gift.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Mystery Gift system is activated at [[Jubilife TV]].
