Present (Japanese: プレゼント Present) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It is the signature move of Delibird.

Effect

Generation II

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%

Reason: What part of the code causes the glitch?

In Pokémon 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 10, while 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). Also, Present only inflicts a quarter of the normal damage against Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon.

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 Pokémon Crystal and Pokémon Stadium 2, the glitch is fixed and Present's damage calculates normally.

In the core series, it will still have a 20% chance of healing Pokémon with full HP, though nothing will happen. In Stadium 2, it will still perform the move but it will say "It couldn't receive the gift!"

Generations III and IV

Present will now fail if it would heal a Pokémon with full HP.

Generation V

Present consumes a Normal Gem even if it heals the target.

Generation VI

If a Pokémon with Parental Bond uses Present, if Present heals the target it will only hit once, and if it damages the target it will hit twice.
