My Turtwig has Pokerus and I have a few questions.

Apparently it will keep it for 24 hours, so if I pass it to another pokemon will it share the timer with Turtwig or will it get a new timer that starts at 24 hours again?

Does keeping pokemon in boxes, stop them from losing Pokerus?

Can Pokerus spread through boxes?

Does the application of doubling EVs calculate after taking into consideration the item my pokemon is holding?

You lose the pokerus at midnight. If you put it in a box, you preserve it until the next time it comes out, where it loses it at midnight unless you box it again, and so on for the rest of time =]

I don't know about when it wears off, but I do know that it even doubles the EV gain after factoring in items. So with these power items you will get 8 EVs.

Pokerus only spreads if the infected pokemon is in your party, but keeping it in your boxes stops the spreading of pokerus and keeps the pokemon infected.

Pokerus won't be expire or spread in the box. But if it is removed from a box and into the party, it can spread and expire.

Well, it's gone midnight and my unboxed Pokemon still have Pokerus, so they must have a timer that pauses when they're boxed. If I keep taking it out of it's box and putting it back, I think it's timer would eventually run out and it'd lose the Pokerus.

No if you add it back to your party it will begin to spread again.

Pokerus does not last 3 days. I know that for a fact. Pokerus doubles the EV gain of a Pokemon in addition to any EV enhancing items (ie Macho Brace, Power Anklet, etc.) essentially, you can increase a Pokemon's EV gain tremendously w/ Pokerus. Pokerus does get cured after midnight, so I reccommend putting the Pokemon in the box before midnight and taking out ten minutes after midnight. I experimented and found this time period to be a caution zone as there is a possibility that your Pokemon will be cured. I always put my Pokemon in at 11:50 and take it out at 12:15.

Also, to make it more efficient, infect at least 5 different Pokemon w/ Pokerus. Keep these Pokemon in your boxes at all times. This is so when you want to infect more Pokemon, you have a ready supply. Pokerus also does not spread through boxes. If you have a Pokemon w/ Pokerus in your party, there is a 1/3 chance that the Pokemon below it will contract the virus after every battle. After curing, the Pokemon keeps the EV gaining ability, but loses the ability to spread it (again, the reason why we have 5 Pokemon w/ Pokerus.)

Here is some math behind this. We will use a Rampardos for this example:

Uninfected Rampardos @ Macho Brace battles Bibarel and wins.
Bibarel has 2 EVs for Attack.
Uninfected Rampardos gains 4 EVs in Attack (Macho Brace doubles EV gain)

Pokerus Rampardos @ Macho Brace battles Bibarel and wins.
Bibarel has 2 EVs for Attack.
Pokerus Rampardos gains 8 EVs for Attack (Macho Brace doubles EVs + Pokerus doubles EVs. x4 EV gain each battle)
Pokerus Rampardos continues battling Bibarels until level up.
Pokerus Rampardos gains +15 in Attack (Yes. It is possible. My Rampardos has done it before. So has my Electivire)

4 EVs in any stat = +1 Point in stat gain.
15x4=60
60/4=15 Bibarels defeated w/ Pokerus Rampardos.



Did I answer all your questions and then some?

I have the PokeRus, but for some reason it wont go away. My pokemon have been infected for like 5 days. I wonder if it has to do with the fact they are at Lv. 100?

No. Lv. 100 Pokemon can still contract and lose Pokerus like regular Pokemon. Unfortunately, they can't gain anymore EVs...somehow, your game is glitched. Consider yourself lucky and go infect all your Pokemon, you lucky duck.

Thanks for the info King_Lucario, but my unboxed Pokemon didn't lose Pokerus at midnight.

If I have Pokerus and i use a Protein, do I get +20 Atk?

Maybe it stops the infection exactly 24 hours after it gets it? For example, if you infected your Dusknoir, for example, with Pokerus at 11:55, wouldn't it be sort of annoying to EV train it in five minutes?

Nope, Pokerus does not apply to Vitamins.

Ok thanks True_Justice.

NinjaMurkrow, my first infected Pokemon has passed 24 hours and I have not boxed it at any point, and it hasn't lost Pokerus yet.

This should answer your other question. There is no specific time in which Pokerus will wear off.

Pokemon at level 100 can still gain EVs. You have to deposit and withdraw it from the box in order for the stat changes to apply.

Wait, so PokeRus never disappears right? I thought once a "smiley" comes up, it means it CAN'T spread it anymore, but still get the stats. O_o
