Mystery Gift (Japanese: ふしぎなおくりもの Mystery Gift) is a feature found in the Generation II, III, and IV Pokémon video games.
Generation II
In Generation II, Mystery Gift is used in conjunction with the IR port on top of the Game Boy Color to communicate with other Mystery Gift enabled games to give other players either room decorations or items. It can also be used with Pokémon Pikachu 2 and Pokémon Stadium 2. The use of Mystery Gift has a quota of 5 times per day with no more than 1 gift per user.
To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation II games, players must talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the Goldenrod Department Store. After this has been done, it can be accessed from the main menu.

Generation III
In Generation III, Mystery Gift's primary use is to receive special items at Nintendo events. It is language dependent, so players will not be able to receive items with a foreign copy of the game.
To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any Poké Mart and enter the phrase below, based on the language of the game. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on. However, there is no such feature in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and the Japanese version of Emerald, there is an similar option called Mystery Event. To access this feature, players should talk to the NPC near the PC in the Pokémon Center in Petalburg City, and enter the phrase below while being interviewed (also based on the language of the game). The NPC will then inform the player that the Mystery Event has been activated. It will then be on the main menu after saving the game from that point on.
