4th Gen Question regarding Macho Brace and PokeRus...

[kalidan]

Hi folks, this is what I understand...

The PokeRus doubles the rate of IV gain until the infected pokemon's IV's reach their ceiling... usually a short time after reaching L100.

The infectious PokeRus lasts anywhere from 1-2 days outside of BeBe's PC, and may be passed on to other pokemon during that time. After that time pokemon are no longer contagious and the PokeRus can't be passed on, but the effect of the PokeRus with its increased IV gain rate, remains.

The Macho Brace also doubles the rate of IV gain while the battling pokemon is holding it.

So does the following math work?

Pokerus (Infectious or not) + Macho Brace = 4x IV gain rate?

If another pokemon in the party is holding experience share, does it get that same IV gain rate?

Many thanks for your input…

In your post change all the "IV" to "EV"

Pokerus is at the end of the math and it doubles it
The max you can get is 14 EV
3 + 4 = 7 x 2 = 14

And the pokemon with EXP share wont get the same because it wont have the EV+ items
