PKRS Issue
 
Hey there... I just had my pokemon infected not too long ago with the PKRS. I was wondering if that would effect my Riolu in the case of evolution. Its my first infection and I'm a little in the dark about the ups and downs of it.

Was it your Riolu that was infected? But there's nothing to worry about. Pokerus is a beneficial virus that doubles the EV's gained. Even when the ability to transfer it wears off, the benefits will still remain.

And if it is your Riolu that's infected, the effect will stay through evolution.

here's the deal with PKRS:

PKRS doubles the amount of EVs your pokemon earns. think of it as Macho brace that you can't take off, with no drawbacks. Pokemon that catch PKRS have it indefinitely, but it is only contagious for the first day that it has it. come midnight of that day, it is "cured", and can no longer pass on teh infection. the double EV effect remains, however.

Usually it's a good idea to keep a PKRS pokemon in your PC, as in there it will not lose it's infectiousness at midnight. battling with it in your party has the potential to infect any other pokemon in your party that don't already have it.

so basically, if you're breeding riolu, get riolu infected, then put the first pokemon in hte box so you can use it again later. PKRS is a terrific breeders tool that makes EV training go much faster.

Yeah. It was infected while in my party. I got how it spreads. as long as it evolves into lucario like normal then I'm okay with it.

make sure you have it in your box by midnight! PKRS is something you want to preserve. if you don't want to keep your Riolu in thebox, infect something else then put that in the box.
