Today I was training a Pokérus infected Pokémon while holding the Power Weight and fighting Wooper on Route 212. Since Wooper give 1 HP EV and the Power Weight gives 4, with the addition of Pokérus that comes to 10 HP EVs per battle, if Pokérus doubles the extra EVs from the Power Weight like it says here. After counting up 255 I went over to Sunyshore to pick up the Effort Ribbon, just to be sure, (I'd already gotten all the other EVs I needed, using the Macho Brace), but she didn't give me the ribbon. I figured maybe I had just miscounted but after a few more battles, she still wouldn't hand it over. Finally I decided to count up the EVs by feeding it Pomeg Berries (reduce EVs by 10), and it only ate 12 of them. So I was off by 111-120 points, which is more like what you'd expect if the Power Weight just gave a flat 4 EVs not affected by the Pokérus at all. Can anyone contend this or should I just change it?

:Update: Using the Power Weight still, I've counted up an additional 164 assumed EVs and the lady still won't give me the Effort Ribbon, which makes me wonder if the Power Weight does override the Pokémon's natural EV bonus after all. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 19:47, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
