Yeah, its Pokerus, it makes them grow faster then normal, it will dissapear in a few days, you can spread it to the rest of your pokemon by putting it in your box, it will last forever there. Just make sure you put the pokemon back in the box every once in a while to keep it.

Zero ex May 12th, 2007 11:02 AM

Thanks to all, then I should spread the virus, and then pujt the pk in the box.

Star★Seeker May 12th, 2007 6:23 PM

I also have it, but for some reason it won't spread to my box pokemon.

it doesn't spread to your box pokemon in D/P. you must put the pokemon in your team and battle with it while there for it to spread to pokemon in your team.

i was so hyped about it when someone traded me to get Pokerus so that it'd be easier to EV train my pokemon, but as soon as i was EV training my Medicham, it lost it after about 2 hours. it now has this weird -_- face instead.

Midnight Beat May 15th, 2007 5:48 PM

So I caught Grintina then I went to heal. The nurse said one of my pokemon may have the pokrus and then i checked and didn't see it on any of them, so am I blind or could it of worn off in a few sec.

c123 May 15th, 2007 6:37 PM

Does anyone know what route to get it on because I remember in ruby there was a certain route you get it on and i got it from there.

There is no route to get pkrs on, there is only a chance to get pkrs from battling a wild pokemon, I forget the odds but I am pretty sure it's 2x as rare as a shiny, so if a shiny is 1 / 8192 then to get pkrs is 1 / 16384, - someone confirm this



Storm-DC May 16th, 2007 11:30 AM

Pkrs..
 
On GTS I just received a Japanese Taurus with PKRS (pokerus?)...
This is completely new for me, so some questions:

- How will other pokemon catch it too (its contagious right? and posotive?)

- How will it effect them?

- How will it effect them while also holding a macho brace?

- As soon he's affecting other pokemon I have, does anybody need one of my pokemon with PKRS ;)?

ihaveaquestion May 16th, 2007 4:56 PM

- other pokemon in your team will get it upon time...

- it adds to ev points... doubling it... just like a macho brace

- 4x ev points

- nope... got it

Ichida May 16th, 2007 4:57 PM

And by "time," he means one or two battles.

I am almost positive in Ruby there was a certain route you could get it. I think it was the route where the bicycle road is on.

ToraSushii May 16th, 2007 5:06 PM

I think it's the beginning routes. Like the one near Littleroot Town.

ihaveaquestion May 16th, 2007 5:19 PM

i h8 pokerus because its not cool... and it can ruin your game... its kinda like a virus... it takes away your pokemon health after every other turn... let the pokemon that has it go if you don't wanna go out and buy another copy of the game...

Autaven May 17th, 2007 12:29 AM

Can I just ask how pokemon get infected with Pkrs in the first place? Do they just have it when caught/bred? Or is it something you have to give them yourself?

Also when they lose the status of PKRS after 24 hours your pokemon will still get double EV points, they will just lose the ability to pass it on to other pokemon. So it's pretty usefull!

And your proof is...?
Have you even expirenced the Pokerus? It actually Helps your pokemon.. Also, if it ruined your game, then just about every *proper* pokemon gamer (ones who aim for Shiny/Specific Nature/PKRS) would sue nintendo for PKRS as if you have played game for 200+ hrs, you are bound to have gotten PKRS. I think you are mistaking PKRS with the Poision *something* i forgot its name, but holder loses HP after every turn, but your opponent gets it if you touch them (Physical Move)

I'm not sure on that, i think you can get it while hatching an egg (need proof), i think during catching pokemon... Egg - Dont know
I'm saying Catching Pokemon because when i PKRS hunt, i leave five slots in party, catch five random pokemon. If they are not PKRS infected, STart + Select + A + B ( i think) and i keep on doing.. On DP, i've POKESAV cheated (yeh, i got r4...)

WHAT!?? Pokerus is NOT a bad thing. Quite the opposite: it is a godsend to those that EV train. It doesn't decrease HP, and it certainly doesn't ruin your game.

And where are all of you getting the idea that Pokerus is on a specific route? No it is not. It is completely random, like finding a Shiny. No link to location at all.

And you can give it to an Egg, but only if one of your other Pokemon have it.

ihaveaquestion May 17th, 2007 1:31 PM

lol... i was just kidding... but i don't really like having pokerus just because when it loses it... if it does... ill get screwed up on wat ev's i have gave it...

Ichida May 17th, 2007 1:32 PM

...You don't like having it because you hate losing it? What kind of twisted logic is that?!

ihaveaquestion May 17th, 2007 1:35 PM

i don't really know... it kinda sounds emo to me... but yup... thats they way it is yo...

-please represent... and if u do... type representin after each of ur replies

Storm-DC May 17th, 2007 1:38 PM

it's better to have lost love than to have never known it? i don't know 'bout that.. losing something can be hard, i can imagine often people than rather would never have known it in the first place..

ehm, but like i said before; after 24 hours when the pkrs-status is gone your pokemon will still get double EV (will keep that forever), it just will lose the ability to pass it on to other pokemon (so be sure to store some in a pc box)..

ihaveaquestion May 17th, 2007 1:42 PM

i c... but i can understand ur logic completely... cause i sorta luved my old gf... and now i wish that i never met her... but yea... does losing pokerus make ur pokemon depressed and have their happiness go down????

Ichida May 17th, 2007 1:45 PM

Um, no. It just means they no longer earn double EVs in battle from that point on.

ihaveaquestion May 17th, 2007 1:47 PM

thanx ichida... i luv u now cause u answered my question... don't ruin it... and represent... por favor... and i don't really like pokerus tho...

Storm-DC May 17th, 2007 1:47 PM

don't know.. but talking about happiness; when i gave a girl on msn pkrs last night, i never saw a girl getting more excited and enjoying getting a decease from me before..

"Pokérus is cured after 24 hours on the party from the time of infection; Pokémon cannot be cured of Pokérus if left in a PC box or are traded to Pokémon Stadium 2 or Pokémon Box. Once Pokérus' effects end, the host develops an immunity to it and it can no longer be transmitted. However, the accelerated stat growth remains, the Pokémon only loses the ability to spread it."

Ichida May 17th, 2007 1:58 PM

Ah, so the EV growth remains? Awesome. Didn't know that.

Storm-DC May 17th, 2007 2:00 PM

A question on pokerus
 
my blaziken had a pokerus and it spread onto my entire team. however, recently four of my pokemon had their pokerus replaced by a yellow face, and two of them still have the virus.
I was just wondering... will the pokemon that lost the virus be able to get it back?

No sir. They lose it after a few days (it doesn't seem like a set time limit, I find it's different for every Poke... I've it last up to a week on a few of my Steel pokemon), but once they lose it, they gain an immunity to it. However, as I've read, the effects of the virus will always be there, so once it is infected, even if it loses the virus, it will ALWAYS gain double EVs from a battle. That's why you have got to infect a few commoners and stash 'em in the PC, to ensure that you always have a few test tubes ready to infect whoever you want, since time is stopped when in the PC.

oh ok thnx alot for the info.
