6th Gen Need Help With Pokerus and More

[Ruby Gloom]

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to Pokémon, with Pokémon Y being my first ever game. I've fallen completely in love with them, but would love to start learning some of the deeper aspects of the series.

I taught myself how to breed shiny pokemon, and how to check IVs, but that's pretty much all I know beyond basic gameplay.

I was recently informed in game that my pokemon have been infected with pokerus...I have heard that this is a very rare and good thing, but I don't really know how to make the most of it. I also don't know much about EVs, Super Training, egg moves, nature's, etc.

What is the best resource for learning all of these things, and what do I start with? It's all a bit overwhelming to a new player.

Thanks guys!

TamashiiHiroka (the best Poketuber of all time) has made some really in-depth guides on breeding and EV training, here they are:

Hope this helps!

Along with above post, one tip I could give is to save a virus-infected Pokemon in your PC for future uses, and perhaps an extra for additional measure.

Thank you very much to both of you! I will check those videos out.

Any tips on where I can also read up on this stuff? For when I'm not on wifi and cant watch videos much.

This should be helpful for EVs if you need a non-video format: https://www.serebii.net/games/evs.shtml

For breeding in non-video, the Trade Corner has this, which may be of use: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=321336#genvi
