Pokédex - Move Data - Present
Gold/Silver Version
| Type | Power | Accuracy | PP | Effect Chance (/256) | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NORMAL | 1 | 229 | 15 | 0 | fg |
At random, the opposing Pokémon gains 1/4 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) and this attack doesn’t deal damage (52/256 chance); or this attack’s power is 40 (102/256), 80 (76/256), or 120 (26/256). Ineffective if the opposing Pokémon is immune (will cause neither damage nor HP gain). Deals abnormal damage in Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version because of a bug.
Flag g: This attack has an accuracy check. BrightPowder and the like can reduce its accuracy. Flag f: If the user holds a King's Rock or the like, the target has a chance to flinch if this attack succeeds.
Detailed Information
In Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version , when Present deals damage to the opposing Pokémon, several values are substituted in the damage calculation formula:- Attacker’s Attack: 10 multiplied by the type matchup of the attack’s type against the opposing Pokémon’s types.
- Opposing Pokémon’s Defense: A number that depends on the attacker’s current second type (for example, Charizard’s second type is normally Flying, but Charmander’s second type is normally Fire).
- Attacker’s level: A number that depends on the opposing Pokémon’s current second type.
- The numbers used in the modified Defense and level are as follows: Normal - 0; Fighting - 1; Flying - 2; Poison - 3; Ground - 4; Rock - 5; Bug - 7; Ghost - 8; Steel - 9; Fire - 20; Water - 21; Grass - 22; Electric - 23; Psychic - 24; Ice - 25; Dragon - 26; Dark - 27.
- If a calculation would divide by 0, it divides by 1 instead.
This bug has been corrected in Crystal and Stadium 2. ("Stadium 2" is called "Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver" in Japan and "Pokémon Stadium 2" elsewhere.)
Ruby/Sapphire Version
| Type | Power | Accuracy | PP | Effect Chance (%) | Range | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NORMAL | 1 | 90 | 15 | 0 | Single exc. user | be |
At random, the target gains 1/4 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) and this attack doesn’t deal damage (52/256 chance), or this attack’s power is 40 (102/256), 80 (76/256), or 120 (26/256). If this attack would deal damage, it’s ineffective against the target if the target is immune. If this attack would restore HP, it does nothing if the target is immune because it has Wonder Guard or if the target’s HP is full.
Flag b: The target can use Protect or Detect to protect itself from this attack. Flag e: This attack can be used with Mirror Move.
