poke virus?!?!
 
I noticed a PKRS in the summary of ALL my pokemon by thier levels. I went to the pokemon center to heal my pokemon and nurse joy told me that they had been infected by a pokemon virus!! which apparently increases the rate of their growth :D which is good :D but WHAT THE HELL?!?! someone tell me Im not alone in this! and if its not a big deal how long does it last? cos I want it to stay :P lol as I have noticed speeds and attacks and health go up rather high each time they level up.

There is a nice little explanation in the FAQ stickied at the top of the page.

Basically, Pokerus doubles the EVs you gain from battle, allowing your Pokemon to grow quicker and hence that's why you got the higher stat increases.
It only lasts 24 (or is it 48? I've forgotten) hours but you can preserve it by placing the infected Pokemon into your box.

aha ok thank you very much :D this thread can be closed :D i just needed to know some more info on it .. very new things to me are always exciting :P:D

you can spread your poke virus in your whole team ^^

bobandbill March 11th, 2008 10:14 PM

Consider yourself lucky. It is rarer than Shiny Pokemon, and harder to get (for one, it isn't glaringly obvious). It's like, a one in 21, 000 chance or something?

Shadowthinker March 12th, 2008 12:26 AM

Well there always seems to be a thread about Pokerus which tells me that those statistics doesn't match.

If the infected poke is in the first slot he can spread it to the 2nd

its not really a rare thing
Ive noticed it normally happens after youve been playing for a long time

Its been happening for years too, i remember first getting it in Pokemon Crystal and being totally shocked and confused..

LegendaryPokeBreeder March 12th, 2008 11:23 AM

yeh i have been infecting most of my pokemon with it since i found out more about it :D especially ones that im plannin to use in different teams that i have :D i thought it might be rare but iv had an easier time getting pokerus than shinies ¬¬ xD

yeah one of my friends has a Blissey and when I fought his Blissey It almost had 900Hp!

Then he tell's me this. "don't take your Pokemon to the pokemon Center. That how you get poke viruses."

paperfunk March 29th, 2008 10:17 AM

is that possible? i thought stats like that had a limit. isnt blissey's hp limit like 700 or something?

EDIT: i looked it up on serebii and its limit at lv. 100 is 714.

2 things:
1)Why are you going round bringing back long-answered threads? I'd stop if i were you, you're on the road to an infarction (Not from me obviously :P)
EDIT: This isnt quite a month old, but its still irritating
2) Blisseys health caps at 714, so either you lie or your friends has a hack. Either way going to a PC does show you get the virus, but its a good thing.

RenzokukenofCerberus March 29th, 2008 10:22 AM

Or his friends lie to him about the reason why it had 900 hp.


And if you admit it's possible through a hack then who's to say it didn't really happen?

El Gofre March 29th, 2008 10:25 AM

Because all pokes have a max stat, but hacks can tip that over. Search around on youtube, there's a video of a 999 in all stat bidoof using draco meteor, its quite funny.
Besides, is it realistic that ANY pokes stat could go that high? They were pushing it at 714 let alone 900

solopy567 March 29th, 2008 11:24 AM

I wish i had a pokemon with that.....It can help so much..And after the infected pokemon cures, a smiley face appears, and the effects of the pokerus stay!

paperfunk March 29th, 2008 11:30 AM

i gotta few of em. want one?

solopy567 March 29th, 2008 11:44 AM

I dont got Pearl or Diamond so i cant lol

dialga493 March 29th, 2008 11:54 AM

I'm serious. In my Pokemon Crystal I had a baby charmander. It's was charizard it had 400-450 hp and I never took it to the pokemon center once.
