Present (move): Difference between revisions

Present has two different effects. Present can either deal damage against the target or heal the target by 80 HP.

 

If Present deals damage, then the base power of Present is chosen at random from 40, 80, or 120. If Present chooses to heal the target, it will heal the foe.

In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the [[level]], {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} variables of the [[damage calculation|damage formula]] are replaced. The Attack variable is replaced with 10. The level will be based on the index number of the defending Pokémon's type, while the Defense will be based on the index number of the attacking Pokémon's type (if a Pokémon is a dual-type, its secondary type will be used). Also, Present only inflicts a quarter of the normal damage against Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon.

|{{tt|0|If this is used for Defense, it is increased to 1}}

In {{game|Crystal}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Present uses the standard damage formula.  

In all versions, it will heal Pokémon with full HP, though without effect.

Present uses the standard damage formula. Present heals the foe by 1/4 of its max HP, instead of only 80. It will fail if it would heal Pokémon with full HP.

In the case of Present being used by a Pokémon with {{a|Parental Bond}}, if Present heals the target it will only hit once, and if it damages the target it will hit twice (the second hit will always damage the target).
