While a Trainer is on an adventure, he or she may be given Pokémon. These Pokémon are known as gift Pokémon. Types of gift Pokémon include starter Pokémon and Pokémon Eggs. They exist in the games, anime, and 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.
