==After having the virus==
==After having the virus==
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV, it will be a small smiley face. Though the virus is gone, its positive effects will remain, most specifically the ability for that Pokémon to gain double [[EV]]s.

Any Pokémon on the player's party at the moment the system clock reaches midnight will become immune. An easy way to keep a "vessel" for future spreading is to always send the infected Pokémon to the box, [[Daycare]] or [[My Pokémon Ranch]] before Midnight. The game also recognizes immunizing if the system is turned off and on again on the next day.
