What is Pokérus?
What is Pokérus? I know it's a virus because all my Pokémon are infected with it but what really is it? Is it good/bad?
|
It's very good. It doubles the EV points your pokemon gain from battle. Each creature you defeat gives you an amount of points. Pichu would give you 1 to Speed since he's fast but a Raichu would give you 3 in speed. EV points add up and make your pokemon stronger faster. You can get the same results if you just train a young pokemon to like 60 but pokerus makes them strong at about 30. That's how my D/P team sweeped though the gym leaders. ^^

I got Pokerus starting with an egg, believe it or not.
And it's extremely good, it makes your Pokemon much stronger. |
i guess it's less rare in D/P.. i had a few eggs that hatched with it (without parent pokemon being infected, or ever were).. also got quite some infected pokemon on GTS..
i don't like the smiley you get afterwards, it looks sad.. |
The virus extremely helped my Pokemon in battles, etc. It went away now, though, and now there's a sad face, but anyways I got the pokemon that had PokeRus from a WiFi trade.

anyway, the effect still is there! after the PKRS status is gone, the EVs will still be doubled.. it just won't be contagious anymore |
it also helped me alot also. I won alot of battles against my friends with that

Can it infect other pkm in a PC box or only when your carrying the infecting pkm in your team?
|
it cant effect other Pokemon in the box, only on your team

How long does it usually last? I got an Eevee from someone with Pokérus on Saturday night 7 hours later, it was gone from everything except my Empoleon which I'd put in a box.
<_<; I didn't even get to use it to my advantage because I spent those 7 hours sleeping. |

Well, it wasn't even close to 24 hours but I won't complain if they still get the boosts afterwards. Thanks for the clarification. =D
|
To spread the virus in your team do you just have to walk around with the infected pkm or battle with it too?
