Gift Pokémon

A gift Pokémon is a Pokémon given to a Trainer during their journey. Examples of gift Pokémon include first partner Pokémon and Pokémon Eggs.

Gift Pokémon given by Trainers 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. Normally, the player is treated as the Original Trainer of gift Pokémon they receive from NPCs; however, in some particular cases, such as Webster's Spearow in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver and N's Pokémon in Black 2 and White 2, the NPC is retained as the Pokémon's Original Trainer.
