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%
If the user heals the target while holding a Normal Gem, this item is still consumed even though the HP healed is not affected. Similarly, if this move's type is changed (such as from , , , etc.), this is true for the held Gem of the current type.
If a Pokémon with uses Present and heals the target, it will only hit once. However, if it damages the target, it will hit twice. If Present is used on an ally with , Present will always be blocked, even if it would have healed the target.
If the target is affected by , then Present will not heal its HP, although damage is still dealt normally.
===Generation II===
In this generation, Present will have a 20% chance of healing Pokémon with full HP, though the message afterwards slightly differs depending on the game. In , if it would heal the target but it has full HP, a message is displayed that says " <Pokémon> can't receive the gift!" In Pokémon Stadium 2, the move is still performed but the message "It couldn't receive the gift!" is displayed. In English , no message will be displayed.
Present is affected by King's Rock.
====Gold and Silver====
In Gold and Silver, a glitch causes the level, , and variables of the damage formula to be replaced. The Attack will be replaced with 5 if the target is - or , or 10 otherwise. 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).
