4th Gen PokeRus - Beware!

[Xine]

i got one from platinum :)

gotta spreading it to all of my game XD

 

[Kudo]

oops my bad, got its evolving level mixed up, damn, i feel bad for posting that. i count myself lucky tho, the rate for getting the virus is lower than a shiny and i have yet to se a single shiny.

That's...happened for me too.

I was playing the Japanese version of SoulSilver a couple months back when I saw my ditto had pokerus. I've gone through Platinum and SoulSilver and have not encountered a single shiny in the wild (Red Gyrados not included).

I've NEVER had a shiny, every (not even Red Gyarados, as I somehow... missed out GSC completely as a child) and yet, as I've said, I've had Pokerus twice.

An' that don't seem right. ~♪

 

[Dawg 2005]

I don't even know how I got PokeRus, I just healed my Pokemon, and bam, there it was.

 

[Kokuo]

I has Pokerus in my Diamond once, however I didn't notice until after it had passed, so I only have that little face next to my pokemon now.

 

[Swolligator]

while i appreciate the fact that i have the pokevirus, i would rather have a shiny, they look cool.

 

[AshK]

ehe... i got pokerus from a wild pokemon in ruby.
at the time, i had no idea what it was, freaked out and just saw what happens. a little while later, my internet wast back up and i kicked myself for losing it...
live and learn i guess.

 

[Totodile!]

Since the thread I posted in about my encounter of the pokerus here's what I said:

Yeah ... that happened to me last month when I didn't have a DS yet, while I was playing on an emulator.
I was EV training my Scyther when the PPs of the moves went out so I went to the Pokemon Center and the nurse told me I have pokérus. I was happy ;]
Professor Elm also called me after I got infected (he called several times actually) to tell me that nothing is quite know about this pokérus and it's nothing to worry about ;]

Oh and I still have that save with a infected pokémon in the box xD

 

[Pokeon-Girl]

I got Pokerus really early on in the game :) I didn't think anything of it but this thread showed me it's really rare to get the virus. I'm really happy now!

:D

 

[Eon-Rider]

I traded a Pokemon that had it cured from Platinum if that counts.

 

[Rocket Executive Josh]

I got it in Emerald twice, on two different files but never saw a shiny once. But I thought it was bad so I started a new game both times :(

 

[xJordan360]

It's seriously rarer than a shiny? I've had pokerus about 5 times since DPPt, and I've yet to see a shiny. D:

 

[CrashSmAshley]

I wish I had it. Still haven't got it!

 

[EJ]

I got it once in Platinum but nothing in HGSS so far....

 

[xJordan360]

I got it once in Platinum but nothing in HGSS so far....

I got it by the time i was in Goldenrod O.o

 

[Tombstone975]

I can't remember how I got it either. Must of been grinding XP for Elite Four in ruby then Migrated it to Soul Silver.


PokeRus ftw ^^.

 

[Circuit]

I've never had it, though I have come across shinies several times (not incuding RG). I really want the 'rus, to help with EV training, and just to have the experience. I have a traded Pokemon that had it, but it was lvl 100, so I couldn't train it (already done) and I had it as the only Pokemon in my team, and didn't realise it had it until it was cured. Damn it.

 

[Pokegirl98]

Same. I was in Celestic town and the nurse joy told me that my pokemon had the 'rus. I was extremely happy and went to train. The 'rus lasted about 10 minutes and didn't leave a smiley face behind. I wonder if I was just imagining it....

No... It is Less rare than a shiny.

 

[Anti_Secret]

I had pokerus once in Diamond. As for shiny pokemon, I find them once or twice every game.
