3rd Gen Pok?rus: the rare virus?

As MetalMario said, just use a Pok?mon that uses a contact attack on an infected Pok?mon. Odds of getting it are pretty low as well. Problem is, since you can't tell whether the Pok?mon you're fighting against is infected with the Pok?rus, you'll just have to keep hitting all Pok?mon you meet. Ya big brute.

But I'd like to comment on keeping EV's. If the Pok?rus expires at midnight, would putting a Pok?mon with Pok?rus in the PC before midnight and taking them back out restart the timer?

Also, if the Pok?rus expires, wouldn't the Pok?mon's stat gains return to normal? If the EV gains still remain, then why should the virus expire at all?

If you put it in before midnight, then take it out after, I believe the counter will not go down. (If the Pok?mon was in your party last time you saved, then you put it in the box while you play, but reset after midnight without saving, its counter should go down.)

Nope. When Pok?rus goes away, your Pok?mon retains the "black spot" forever, which both prevents it from having Pok?rus again but still provides it with increased EV gain. By going away, Pok?rus becomes more difficult to spread.

But... it still seems too simple! You'd have a max of 24 hours to put an infected Pok?mon in the PC. Considering how fast the virus spreads, it really shouldn't be hard to decide which Pok?mon to deposit. And, according to you, MetalMario, the virus lasts forever. Spreading the virus is a little more of a hassle with the expiration time, but not by much!

Oh, and your avatar is broken, and I am using FireFox!

So, what you're saying is that if you have the Pok?rus and the Macho Brace equipped, then Speed will level up normally since the Macho Brace negates the Pok?rus' effect on speed?

The Macho Brace has no effect on a Pokemon's actual speed stat. It's just that when a Pokemon with a Macho Brace is in battle, it acts as if its speed was cut in half. It's kinda like Ditto with Metal Powder and Marowak with Thick Club. It changes a stat, but you can't see the change in the stat, and when you remove it, the stat change goes away.
 
I though the Macho Brace lowers the stat gains of Speed, not its battle effect. Oh well. Don't forget Pikachu's Light Ball!
 
a pokerus if is in the gold, crystal or silver will have more chance to gain in the yamna after a battle.
