From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
The
Pokérus is a special
status condition that a Pokémon may get, first appearing in the
Generation II games. Unlike other status conditions, however, it cannot be healed at a
Pokémon Center or with any
status ailment healing item, and can only be obtained by the Pokémon in question once. When a Pokémon has had the Pokérus, it gains double the
effort points it would otherwise (i.e., fighting a
Magikarp will give two
Speed EVs, rather than one). The takes about two days to wear off of an infected Pokémon, but the period of time can vary.
When it was introduced, the Pokérus had a 1 in 21,845 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), however, most players would never have a Pokémon with the virus.
In later generations, the Pokérus became more likely to get, with several event Pokémon during
Generation III having it when transferred into a player's game, and with worldwide facilitated by the
Nintendo DS's Wi-Fi capabilities during
Generation IV, it is essentially ubiquitous.
