    Lucky dog, and I'm sure there are others out there out of the millions of people playing it.
    Remeber to infect others and store one or two in your pc so you always have Pokerus.

    Erm, I feel pretty stupid for asking this... but what is Pokerus?

    My Togekiss from my party in Platinum has it, and I don't know what the heck it is. How do you spread it? What does it do?

    I don't have anything in HG that has the Pokérus yet. I'm probably just going to be cheap and infect my stuff when I import it into Platinum for some much needed grinding that I don't wanna do in HG.

    Pokerus is a pokemon virus that increases you pokemons growth by a vass amount ( Very good for ev training - Doubles the evs )

    To spread just battle with the pokemon by another and it will catch the virus.

    How to keep the virus is, at 12:00 if your pokemon is still in your party with pokerus the virus will disappear... if you wish to keep the virus then store a pokemon with pokerus in the PC.

    I had a Pichu with Pokerus, in Platinum. I spread it :)
    None yet in HG. Im waiting for one because I'm EV training now,and I'm sick of one-shotting Magikarps, Bellsprouts and Gastlys for only one EV.

    I got Pokerus. Like, my ENTIRE team has it and I don't know where it came from. :/
    But I would LOVE to know how to spread it, if anyone would like to share? ;)
    In order to keep the virus aviable for future use, give it to an unaffected Pokémon from your PC. To give to the unaffected Pokémon the virus, just battle with it once. After you get the Pokémon infected, just put it back in the PC to preserve it.

    Great for EV training along with Power items so that would give a total of x 8 EVs when training. I got Pokerus on my Staravia randomly after I transferred it to my Heart Gold. I also have one on my bidoof in Pearl. All legitimately found by me :D

    I got it on Sapphire years ago and have been cultivating it ever since.

    I wouldn't know if I found it on any of the newer games because I could too easily mistake it for having been spread from one of my other infected guys.
