Prof. Elm and pokerus
 
Has anyone else been called by Prof. Elm and told you about Pokerus? He called me right after my battle in Viridian City at the Trainer House.

Kirbychu March 30th, 2010 6:44 AM

Yes, that idiot said it does nothing. :/

My pokemon have still got it!

Ooka March 30th, 2010 11:28 AM

I still haven't gotten it yet. Kinda sucks too. But no, haven't gotten a call.

Theodore Bruno March 30th, 2010 11:29 AM

Does he call you right after you contracted it? Because that what happened to me.

CrashSmAshley March 30th, 2010 11:38 AM

I have 8 Johto badges and caught Ho-Oh and still haven't gotten a call. Wtf?

What the hell is a pokerus?

Shuckleman March 30th, 2010 11:46 AM

Pokerus is some disease that makes your pokemon gain more stats when they level up.

dmalf421 March 30th, 2010 11:48 AM

pokerus is a virus that your pokemon can get. you get it by battling a pokemon with it or if a pokemon party member has it it can be spread. each time your pokemon levels up while it has it, its stats get a bigger increase than it normally would. i think it stay permenant if you stick it in your pc.

CharizardTrainer March 30th, 2010 11:54 AM

Haven't gotten a call yet. Maybe I should battle someone at the Trainer House...

Tyros March 30th, 2010 11:59 AM

Er... Well, the way it actually works is that it doubles all the Effort Values you get from each Pokemon.
That way, for every Rattata, for example, which gives one Speed EV, you get two. If you have another EV-giving item on it, like the Power items, you get (1(base)+4(from power item))x2(from Pokerus) = 10 EVs.

So yeah, it does make your stats go up pretty high, but it's not like it makes the Pokemon break its max number, but rather, that's what help it REACH its max number. All in all, it's a really nice thing to find in your game. Spread it to almost everything you have, if only to keep it around and active whenever you need it.

the same thing happened to me.

This is news to me, I have a shiney Illumise with Pokerus and i thought it was pointless, because Volbeat and Illumise are horrible. so i just thre it in my box. now that i know that it can spread, this is exciting news

umbreon_4_life March 30th, 2010 2:42 PM

No, I haven't gotten any call yet. Maybe because I haven't even got to Viridian City yet. I just got on the S.S. Aqua a few hours ago, so... Yeah.

I think they (People who came up with game) meant it to be said in the meaning that it does nothing bad to your Pokemon.

No, I haven't.

TB Pro March 30th, 2010 3:11 PM

No, and never have I before. I've also never seen a shiny, though. :/

1tylerule March 30th, 2010 3:16 PM

I have a couple Pokemon with Pokerus, and yes, I got the call about it, he says it does nothing, he means that it does nothing bad to your Pokemon.

Yoak March 30th, 2010 4:34 PM

Does it go away with real life time, or game time? Like, if I don't play my game. will it go away still?

The infected Pokemon has the ability to spread the virus for 24 real hours. When that time is up, the Pokemon will still the 2x EV benefits, but will just not be able to spread the disease. When a Pokemon is put in the PC time does not affect the Pokerus. When the Pokemon is taken out of the PC the time limit is reset.

StormerEcho March 30th, 2010 4:56 PM

Yeah so about the Pokerus, I know you have to get it in a certain place (like in R/S/E the daycare route) but where is it in Heart Gold and Soul Silver?

Pokérus is most certainly not obtained on a certain route. Any wild Pokémon has a roughly 1/24,000 chance of having and transmitting Pokérus anywhere in a given region. Being on a given route will not increase your chances of getting Pokérus.

It should be noted though, that as the chance of getting Pokérus is so low, many of you will never get the call.

bobandbill June 15th, 2012 10:13 PM

Please don't bump threads over a month old since the last post (or in this case two years) to ask for trades when the thread isn't for trading please. Ask in the Trade Corner section (particularly the Quick Trade thread sticky in its subsection), and also be sure to ask for something less vague than a '****** pokemon'.
