So a few days ago when I was grabbing a buttload of Ducklett wings, my Pokemon in Pokemon Black were infected with the Pokerus, I don't have wi-fi, so I was extremely lucky to get it this way. Now, just two minutes ago, I was grinding at the Petalburg Woods on Pokemon Sapphire, and I have been infected with the Pokerus

I have it in all of the Pokemon games. The reason why is because I had caught it in Pokemon Ruby, so I spreaded all of my Pokemon with it and then kept trading them from sapphire, Emerald, Pearl, Platinum, Soul Silver and now Pokemon White, so its like all of the Pokemon now have Pokerus :D

Never had it, and yet I've run into six shinies. Then again, Pokerus is suppose to be rarer but still, you think with my thousands of hours I would have had it at least once.

Good find. Last time I had active PokeRus was in gen III, when a friend of mine traded me a Lanturn with it. But at the time, I thought it was bad. XD So I didn't try infecting all my good Pokemon with it. In Gen V, I have two Pokemon that were traded to me that ~had~ PokeRus, but are over it now. :( Oh well. I don't EV train, so I don't need it.

Nice find! My friend got PokéRus a month or something ago when we were replaying Ruby and Sapphire, and it was while we were EV training, so we were very thrilled. I got PokéRus myself when I got an infected Charizard on the GTS,.

I found it in Ruby AGES ago, and had no idea what the heck it was. I wasn't paying attention when the nurse woman told me about it so I though my pokemon were ill and released all of the 'infected' pokemon. I blamed it all on a Surskit. -.- I got it off GTS this time around, now that I have it on my Black version.

I got it back in Emerald when I didn't understand what it was. :/ I also got it when I was playing on an unsavable file in White Version.

I randomly got Pokérus a few years ago in Platinum.
Fortunately, I've got plenty of infected pokémon in Diamond, SoulSilver, and White, so it's not like I have to worry about not having pokérus.

I was actually unlucky in getting Pokerus the other day. I started up a new file on Heart Gold, but wasn't paying attention about the part where you can't overwrite a saved game. I ended up catching a Geodude with Pokerus within a half-hour of starting. I was not happy when I finally realized that I wasn't going to be able to save my file...

It's rarer than a shiny? Really? I've gotten it in Emerald twice (I restart it every so often to do challenges and whatnot), Diamond, and Platinum on separate occasions, I mean I could just transfer it but I don't have a second DS, guess I'm more luckier than I thought

I'm quite lucky with Pokerus, catching it in Platinum, Soul Silver, and White. In each game I keep an infected Pokemon in the box so I can spread it if I ever need to train something again.

Somehow I get lucky with both Pokerus and shinies. Go figure xD

The first time i played Emerald...i caught a Magikarp with Pokerus.
put it in my box. Hell yes! The reason i had Lvl. 100 Swampert.
After i defeated the first gym in Pearl, i quickly passed on my Magikarp then into the Box.
Yay! My Chimchar got PKRS'd!
After two days though, i saw another Magikarp that is shiny with PKRS in Pearl. WTF SUPER LUCKY. *This is true*

Am I like, the only person who doesn't like having Pokerus? ): I've always gotten it since RSE though. In Ruby I remember my starter got it. So I just placed it in a box. ;-; My Abra got it in my Diamond, for spreading purposes I just stuck Abra with a load of filler Pokemon in one box and let it spread. Although I never liked it, it was in high demand. :3 Black and White idr who got it. I think it was traded to me. HG/SS was my worst for Pokerus, almost all of my Pokemon had it. >:C
