Present (Japanese: プレゼント Present) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation IX, it was the signature move of Delibird.

Effect

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

Present's effect is chosen randomly as shown below.

Effect Probability
Damage with 40 base power 40%
Damage with 80 base power 30%
Damage with 120 base power 10%
Heal 1/4 of the target's max HP 20%

If the user heals the target while holding a Normal Gem, this item is still consumed even though the HP healed is not affected. Similarly, if this move's type is changed (such as from Electrify, Ion Deluge, Pixilate, etc.), this is true for the held Gem of the current type.

If a Pokémon with 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 Heal Block, then Present will not heal its HP, although damage is still dealt normally.

Generation II

In this generation, Present will have a 20% chance of healing Pokémon with full HP, though the message afterwards slightly differs depending on the game. In Pokémon Gold and Silver, if it would heal the target but it has full HP, a message is displayed that says "Enemy <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 Pokémon Crystal, no message will be displayed.

Present is affected by King's Rock.

Gold and Silver

In Gold and Silver, a glitch causes the level, Attack, and Defense variables of the damage formula to be replaced. The Attack will be replaced with 5 if the target is Rock- or Steel-type, or 10 otherwise. 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).

Index Number Type
0 Normal
1 Fighting
2 Flying
3 Poison
4 Ground
5 Rock
7 Bug
8 Ghost
9 Steel
20 Fire
21 Water
22 Grass
23 Electric
24 Psychic
25 Ice
26 Dragon
27 Dark

In Crystal (except in link battles) and Pokémon Stadium 2, the glitch is fixed and Present's damage calculates normally.

Generations III and IV

Present will now have no effect if it would heal a Pokémon with full HP.

Present is no longer affected by King's Rock.

Generation V onwards

Present can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if a certain move (Celebrate, Covet, Happy Hour or Wish) was used in the prior turn.

Present is now affected by King's Rock.

SMD The damage you inflict on a target varies. But be careful, because it could restore an enemy's HP as well as your teammate's HP.
MDRTDX You give an enemy a gift of a random amount of damage! But be careful, because sometimes the gift could mistakenly help restore the enemy's HP, too. If you use this move on a teammate, it will always help restore their HP.
