pokerus and steel types
 
I heard someone on here mention that pokerus is somehow related to steel types and I received a Scyther holding Metal Coat on GTS and when it evolved it had pokerus. This is the first time I have ever had pokerus so I was wondering if there is any link with the steel type.

Nope there is absolutely no link between the 'rus and typing. Its the same odds with every poke (1 in 13000 i think)

I heard this rumor from someone else too, no kidea where it came from.

Well I mean, could there be a connection with the Metal Coat itself?
And how to Pokemon acquire Pokerus in the first place?

Like i said, there is no connection with anything, its just a random occurance. If anything your game is glitched cuz im pretty sure it only shows up after a battle.

No, I got pokerus from a lopunny off of the GTS too. It's not a glitch.

It could be just that the Scyther already had Pokerus when the person put it up on the GTS. And even though it evolved, that didn't change its Pokerus state, therefore the Scizor you have would have Pokerus.
