When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]]. | While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]]. | ||
Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 or approximately a 1 in 21,845 chance of being generated on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, either {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], effectively making this rarer than a shiny Pokémon, which have a 3 in 24,576, or around 1 in 8,192 chance to be found wild or hatched. Through battling or capturing this wild Pokémon, {{player}}s could get this helpful virus onto their own Pokémon, and subsequently spread it around. Due to the overwhelmingly low chance of encountering the virus (about 1/3 of the chance to encounter a {{Shiny}} Pokémon), and the fact that most would not even recognize a Pokémon with the virus and may flee from it, many players don't have a Pokémon with the virus. | Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 or approximately a 1 in 21,845 chance of being generated on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, either {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], effectively making this rarer than a shiny Pokémon, which have a 3 in 24,576, or around 1 in 8,192 chance to be found wild or hatched.

In Generation VI, Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. | In Generation VI, Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color. | ||

In ''[[SS008|Oaknapped]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of the Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with Pokérus to evolve them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens have died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it. | In ''[[SS008|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of the Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with Pokérus to evolve them at a faster rate.
