View source for Gift Pokémon

{{incomplete}}
While a {{pkmn|Trainer}} is on an adventure, he or she may be given {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. These Pokémon are known as '''gift Pokémon'''. Types of gift Pokémon include [[starter Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon egg]]s. They exist in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}. In the games, as with wild Pokémon, gift Pokémon will have the last four moves they could have learned by level up except under extraordinary circumstances.
