PokeRus - Beware!
Ok, so I got pokemon Heart Gold on thursday..... 3 days ago when it first came out in New Zealand. Yesterday i arrived in Eckruteak and found that my pokemon had the PokeRus - i thought myself lucky.
Oops my bad, got the evolution level wrong. I've put this thread up for all thoes who have got the PokeRus in HGSS and also for its discussion. |
Uh, Pokerus doesnt stop your pokemon from evolving >>, One of the first things I did was trade over pokerus into my save file from my diamond xD.
|
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.
|
yeah, the pokerus rates are in the 1/millions lol.
|
according to Bulbapedia:
"When it was introduced, the Pokérus had a 3 in 65,536 chance to be on a wild Pokémon. Through battling or capturing this wild Pokémon, players could get this helpful virus onto their own Pokémon, and subsequently spread it around. Due to the overwhelmingly low chance of encountering the virus (about 1/3 of the chance to encounter a shiny Pokémon), and the fact that most would not even recognize a Pokémon with the virus and therefore flee from it, however, most players would never have a Pokémon with the virus." |
Haha, I got the virus while training for the elite 4. My main team has it and it's now being preserved by a mew in my pc's legendary box. Though I didn't know it was rarer than seeing a shiny...I'm still wishing for that to happen.
|
pokerus helps in Ev' training. all my pokemon are cured though. lol.
i got it once from a wild budew in my pearl version. |
Is the Red Gyarados a Shiny??? Cuz it always shines when it comes out of the Pokeball..... Anyway, I haven't had a single Pokemon with the PokeRus yet.... :/

it doubles the Ev points gained from ev training. quite useful in my opinion, cuts ev training time in half. |

I've only ever got the virus from my friends pokemon he traded.

May I refer you guys to the compiled guides?
Right here. Oh, and lol and the below comment... err, I think it's 3 below me. |
Those stats make me feel even luckier as I've had the 'rus on TWO games without trading between them! ^o^ I must be lucky!
When I find my Diamond (currently, unfortunately, lost) I'm transferring a Lv. 1, completely untouched Sneasel over for some serious EV training. :D |
You should read this to learn about EVs.

I have Pokérus but I got it via a trade on GameFAQs, never encountered it naturally. It's useful for EV training, not really much else to add.
I just wish there was a human equivalent of the disease irl. Would make uni work easier. <.< |

Evs determine how your stats go up. Simply put. There are limits to how many EVs you can have though. |
I got PokeRUS once on a wild Drifloon in Pearl; never got it in SS, though ): I can always trade :)
|
i got one from platinum :)
gotta spreading it to all of my game XD |

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). |

An' that don't seem right. ~♪ |
I don't even know how I got PokeRus, I just healed my Pokemon, and bam, there it was.
|
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.
|
while i appreciate the fact that i have the pokevirus, i would rather have a shiny, they look cool.
|
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. |
Since the thread I posted in about my encounter of the pokerus here's what I said:
Quote:
|
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 |
I traded a Pokemon that had it cured from Platinum if that counts.
|
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 :(
|
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:
|
I wish I had it. Still haven't got it!
|
I got it once in Platinum but nothing in HGSS so far....

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 ^^. |
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.

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