'''Gift Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''プレゼントリボン''' ''Present Ribbons'') are normally found on Pokémon given to the player, such as [[event Pokémon]]. Unlike most other Ribbons, Gift Ribbons are not simply given to a Pokémon already under the player's ownership. The only exceptions are the [[List of Ribbons in the games#National Ribbon|National Ribbon]] and the [[List of Ribbons in the games#Earth Ribbon|Earth Ribbon]] from Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Gift Ribbons available after Generation III normally prohibit Pokémon with them from being traded in the [[Global Terminal]].

There are a total of 21 Gift Ribbons. However, only 15 can exist in a game at one time. This is due to 6 of the Gift Ribbons introduced in Generation V replacing 6 previously unused Gift Ribbons from Generations III and IV. Of these 15, only 9 have been made obtainable. (Earth, National, Battle Champion, Event, Birthday, Souvenir, Wishing, Classic and Premier)

In Generation III, all Gift Ribbons by default have an empty description associated with them. Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD make use of the "<sc>Ribbon</sc> awarded for clearing all difficulties." and "100-straight Win Commemorative <sc>Ribbon</sc>" descriptions by assigning them to the National and Earth ribbons respectively. These assignments are then transferred to any Generation III handheld game whenever those games receive a Pokémon with their respective ribbon attached. The descriptions are hard coded for both Ribbons in Generation IV and onwards.

In Generation IV, certain Gift Ribbons by default have the description "A commemorative Ribbon obtained in a mysterious location."{{sup/4|DP}} or "A commemorative Ribbon obtained in a Mystery Zone."{{sup/4|PtHGSS}} associated with them. When the player receives a Pokémon holding either a Classic Ribbon or a Premier Ribbon via Mystery Gift, their descriptions are assigned to "A Ribbon that proclaims love for Pokémon" and "Special Holiday Ribbon" respectively. The descriptions are hard coded for both Ribbons in Generation V and onwards.
