Pokérus? Without the normal syntax?

[Im not a noob]

This was really unexpected but somehow I got the Pokérus. Now I know what you must be thinking. "Yah, yah, lucky guy, ok, who cares, you probably got it from a pokémon you caught". Well, most of the times that may be case. But the interesting thing about this is that I did not catch this from catching any pokémon. I caught it at the Battle Frontier.


Ok, now I know what you're thinking at this point. "I'm not even gonna bother reading the rest of this because he's probably just making this stuff up for something like post count or attention or w/e". Well, after I've been at the Battle Frontier for 2 days straight, not flying to any other town for anything, not battling Smeargles, catching Sudowoodo, or any of that stuff. After I finished a 21 win streak at the battle tower, I shut of my game for the day. The next day, I turned my game back on, and checked my pokémon. Something was different.

My Dragonite, Tyranitar and Metagross were all infected with Pokérus. Now what puzzles me is, if I haven't left the Battle Frontier for the last 2 days, didn't already have a pokémon with Pokérus before this, didn't catch any pokémon, and only battled at the frontier for the past 2 days, how did this happen?

Could this be a glitch in my game? Or am I just that lucky?

Ya.... odd, I never had the virus before then it suddenly appears. When I first saw it I thought my game was glitched lol.

[dark_mew]

may be i should try it out

You can try, but believe me, Pokérus is almost 3x rarer than encountering a shiny Pokémon (or even more rare).

have you been anywhere else besides the battle tower? Maybe Battle Pyramid?

Then that explains it, since you were traveling through mazes filed with wild pokemon i would assume you got the slight chance of catching pokerus from there. 0_o

[dark_mew]

the pokerus increas your pokemon stat higher than regular

[Shika]

that may be a glitch o_O
Because my noobie cousin played my ruby and was just walking in the building... and then I found a pokerus!

[Im not a noob]

O_o, right now I'm just confused, but I decided not to worry about it.

lol! im sorry but i think its a lucky glitch!

[Im not a noob]

I'm real sly then? LAL! I bought a luckily glitched copy!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!

[Always and Never]

It isn't a lucky glitch. The chances of an individual official Nintendo cart having a glitch is practically none.

You battled wild pokemon in the Battle Pyramid, hence that is where you got Pokerus.

Great job! ^_^

Hmm..that IS kinda lucky I guess. I think Pokerus was partially designed to help out struggling trainers, here's why I think that:
Ok, at the point where you had to defeat Cyrus at the Spear Pillar to get to Dialga/Palkia, I was having ALOT of trouble. Cyrus had beaten me atleast twelve times & I was losing hope. Then at try number twelve, I found that all my pokemon had caught Pokerus totally out of the blue! I trained more & it helped alot, I finnaly beat Cyrus on A lucky shot & caught Dialga.
I've also caught Pokerus on Pkmn Ruby after endless attempts at the E4.
-------
I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Pokerus can be obtianed by fighting wild Pokemon. I think Pokerus was designed to simpy help out.
But hey, i'm no expert, that's how it's been working for me all this time ^^.

Go to serebii.net and go to game mechanics. there is ur info on pokerus >_>;

[SkullsY]

Who cares if it was lucky or not? Good going :).

[Im not a noob]

I still think this was a lucky glitch >.>, and I already know about serebii.net's pokérus factor.

And wouldn't you have to catch a pokémon with pokérus and then put it in your party, fight a couple battles, then you're infected?

Before I shut off my GBA I check my pokémon and they did not have the pokérus. The next day I turn my GBA on to play again, I check my pokémon, and somehow they have the pokérus? What gives?


(I always check my pokémon to see if my brother steals my party pokémon because he likes doing that to me. :@)

That's what I'm saying in this thread. I'm wondering on whether to decide if this is a glitch or not.
