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 theOriginal Trainer of gift Pokémon they receive from NPCs; however, in some particular cases, such asWebster'sSpearow inGold, Silver,Crystal,HeartGold, and SoulSilver andN's Pokémon inBlack 2 and White 2, the NPC is retained as the Pokémon's Original Trainer.
