As far as getting Pokerus on your own, it's just as rare. But the ability to connect and trade with anyone and everyone makes it easier to get from someone else.
This generation it seems to be a lot easier to get pokerus, and it stays with your pokemon a LOT longer than any other generation. If you need it just wonder trade, I've gotten 20+ pokemon with pokerus from wonder trading, really easy to get these days.
I have never caught a pokemon with pokerus or got infected somehow. I always thought it was a myth to be honest. I just thought it was something people said just to say it. I received an Onix that had it through wonder trade. Had him for a while now but doesn't seem to be spreading. Can it infect the other pokemon by just being in the box or does it have to happen in party??
