When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center | When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center lady]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "tiny life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had the Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen. At the end of a battle, the virus has a 1/3 chance to spread. If the infected Pokémon is adjacent to two Pokémon who have never had it before, one of them will catch the Pokérus. Pokérus can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s as well. An indicator for Pokérus will not show up on the {{pkmn|Egg}}'s status screen, but once it hatches, it will appear under its status on the status screen like normal. | ||
If a Pokémon with any stage of the Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had the Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract the Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus. | If a Pokémon with any stage of the Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had the Pokérus will disappear.

In [[Sword and Shield]], a Pokémon's summary screen will show the Pokérus icon along with full text saying "POKÉRUS" with the typical smile icon next to the text. When cured, this text is then removed and only the cured icon is shown. These icons are shown with the rest of the Pokémon's icons such as the origin mark and shiny status. In the PC, this text is removed regardless if the Pokémon is infected or cured, only showing the face icon matching the status of infection. It can be seen next to the Pokémon's type and shiny status. | In [[Sword and Shield]], a Pokémon's summary screen will show the Pokérus icon along with full text saying "POKÉRUS" with the typical smile icon next to the text.

In [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the Pokémon Center | In [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the Pokémon Center lady will tell the player that their Pokémon has been infected with Pokérus like in the original Diamond and Pearl games. The icon for the games is almost like how it was in Sword and Shield, except that the infected icon in the PC preview is contained in a pink box similar to how it is presented with text in the summary. The infection text in the Pokémon summary is written out as "Pokérus", with a capital P. | ||
Pokérus does not appear natively in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. It cannot be contracted naturally, nor can infected Pokémon spread the virus to other party members. It also cannot progress towards becoming cured, and is not displayed on status screens. However, an infected Pokémon transferred into Legends: Arceus from Pokémon HOME will still gain bonus EVs during battle, despite no visible indicators of being infected, cured, or gaining EVs while it remains in Legends: Arceus. | Pokérus does not appear natively in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
