    my pokemon just caught the pokerus virus again.....i seem to get it every time i restart the game :) have any of you guy had experience with the pokerus? i have had it in all of the versions you can get it in


    **for those of you who dont know what the pokerus is, its a helpful virus pokemon get that helps their stats grow 2x the normal rate. It goes away after 3 days, though, but if you want it to stay for training, deposite your pokemon in the PC overnight and it will stay there, but you will have to do this every night so it doesnt go away**

    (a trick for training pokemon with pokerus is to give it the macho brace. the macho brace is a hold item that also makes your pokemon's stats grow 2x the normal rate. if you give it to a pokemon wih pokerus while you are training, its stats will grow 4x the normal rate!)
     
    what versions are it in?! how do you get it??!!!!
    I wanna know these things...
     
    I believe it is in every version except for RBY. I've personally never gotten it.
     
    i've gotten it once =) on a pokemon ruby/sapphire hack -_-; but it made it a lot easier!
     
    i have a certain luck when it comes to catching it.......i get it every time i restart the game even the eggs had it
     
    It can be obtained in all versions except RBGY. It goes away BUT the Pokemon still grows x2, but it can´t make others get it. I have had it in Crystal and Emerald
     
    This doesn't belong here. ^^; It should go in the General Games Discussion forum, which is where I'll be moving it~

    But before I do, I have had the Pokerus virus before. XD I think it was in my Silver version like...three years ago. o-o It was pretty cool though since all my Pokemon's stats went waaaay up, w00t. :3 *had a killer Pidgeotto*

    I've only ever found Pokerus once, this was in Emerald. I was EV training my Umbreon for HP in Rusturf, then when I went to heal I was told I had Pokerus. Messed up my EV training a bit cos I lost track of when he actually picked it up, but I got it nevertheless.
     
    Wow, I've never gotten the virus. Ever. :( I want it! LOL. Although I have always raised my pokemon faster than everyone else I have ever knew.
