    • Really weird, I never run into any sort of luck in Pokémon games. I've never found a shiny besides the Red Gyarados or had the Pokérus, so you can imagine I was super-surprised when the game said my party of Teddiursa's had caught the virus. I was going to get a Pokémon with Pokérus traded to me in order to EV train but now I won't have to anymore.

    I got it by randomly in SoulSilver. And I also must've got it off my Embedded Tower Kyogre...all 6 pokemon I used got Pokerus.....

    I seem to now only get Pokerus when I take my Arceus to do the event, and collide with an Unown. So I could probably convince Professor Elm that Arceus invented Pokerus...

    And I think when people claim they haven't seen a shiny, it's because it's guaranteed, so they don't count it. Seeing as it's incredibly rare to get a good nature, I only count it if it's decent-natured

    I think Pokerus is rarer than shiny Pokemon. I've got 2 shinies and no pokerus.Also,if you play Johto games, you're guaranteed to encouter a shiny,so people claiming to have beaten Lance in Johto games without seeing a shiny are lying.

    The Lake of Rage Gyarados is a shiny...
    So yes, he has seen one. Everyone that's beaten at least Pryce in G/S/C and HG/SS has seen a shiny.

    Speaking of Pokerus, I've never actually seen it on a wild Pokemon, but got a Bagon off Wi-Fi that had it. Now a ton my Pokemon have it, in my PC, for the purpose of spreading it.

    • I have never even seen Pokerus in any game at all. D:

    I also don't expect to EVER see it, being that I'm naturally unlucky.

    • I've never gotten PokeRus, I just get it from trades. XD

    Also, PokeRus is rarer than a Shiny. Shiny Pokemon have a 1/8192 chance. To get PokeRus, you have a 3 /65,536 chance, roughly about three times rarer than a Shiny Pokemon.

    I was really lucky with Pokérus, but not shinies. On all three of my games, Emerald, Platinum, and Soulsilver, I got Pokérus legitamately before the elite four. (No trading) As for shinies, I've only ever met one randomly... A Hariyama on Victory Road in Emerald, who proceeded to "Whirlwind" my hopes and dreams. :( :p

    I got Pokerus from a wild Pokemon. I immediately infected all my party pokemon and stored the infected one on my PC box. before I trade online, I infect it with the Pokerus, just to say 'thanks'

    • My brother's shiny Chikorita caught it randomly off a wild Ratatta at the begining of the game.

    Traded from Pearl to Platinum and again to Soul Silver. I'll be trading to White when it comes round in English.

    • My first case I got from training my team. Somehow it just appeared after i made it to the survival zone. My current case I got in a series of trades on the GTS, and a person who traded me a Metwo, that I'm not sure if it's legit, that had one.
