In my Pokémon Gold game, My Pokémon with PokéRus doesn't infect others stored in the PC, and doesn't even become immune unless it's in my party. For me there's only a chance that others become infected when I heal at the Pokémon Center, not automatic as the article implies. My Pokémon take about two days to heal.

== Preserving the Virus for Future Spreading? == | |||
My understanding is that as long as the infected pokemon is trasferred to a PC box before the game's timer hits midnight, it will keep the virus indefinitely and can continue to be withdrawn to spread to other pokemon as much as one likes and will never be 'cured' if it is returned to the PC before midnight strikes. Is this assumption correct, or does the day counter go down for every day the pokemon is out of the PC? And if so, Is each pokemon that I infect given it's own random day counter or does it take the one from the pokemon that the infection originated from? I apologize if this has been answered before, but I'm having trouble finding specific details on preserving the 'rus. Any additional info greatly appreciated. | |||

== Different stages in Gen VI == | |||
I've been spreading the 'rus to a lot of my Pokémon, but I'm really confused about one thing. The ones who have battled the most with it have a little smiley face (pink, of course) next to the pentagon on the summary, while the ones who haven't been out that much just have the pink bar saying "Pokérus" by the type. Is there much of a difference?-- [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 04:27, 26 November 2013 (UTC) | |||

::Yeah, this difference is explained in the article. If a Pokémon has the Pokérus for long enough, it stops being contagious but it still reaps the benefits of it; this is signified by a little smiley face. Whenever you have a Pokémon with contagious Pokérus in your party at midnight, the game takes one day off its duration, and if you have 0 days left it turns into that smiley face. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 04:40, 26 November 2013 (UTC) | |||
== Something isn't adding up == | |||
Ok, so I am trying to HP EV Train my Rash Natured, Pokérus infected Piplup who is holding the Power Weight. I am in connection cave battling horde after horde of Whismur. I am not sure if I am misunderstanding how the calculations and what not are suppose to go...but it seems that nothing is doubling/stacking at all. | |||
When it was level 1, it had a HP of 12, Atk 6, Def 6, Sp Atk 6, Sp Def 5 and Speed 5. After one battle it leveled up to level 7 where it's new HP was 27, its Atk 13, Def 14, Sp Atk 15, Sp Def 12 and Speed 10. Then the next battle it leveled up to level 9 and its HP was 33, Atk 15, Def 17, Sp Atk 18, Sp Def 14 and Speed 12. Then it leveled up to lv 10 and its HP raised by 4 to 37, its Atk to 16, Def 18, Sp Atk 19, Sp Def 15 and Speed 13. Maybe I don't need to list the other stats so I will just list the HP stat from here. At Lv 11 its HP was 41, 12 = 45 and currently at Lv. 13 its HP is 49. | |||
From my understanding, its suspose to gain 5 HP Evs from all 5 defeated Whismur, doubled by the Pokérus and then 4 more added on thanks to the Power Weight. The math isn't adding up, from what it looks like, only the Power Weight is doing anything...so is it possible that as of Gen VI Pokérus and all that other stuff no longer stacks? If so then the article needs to state this as well as the EV item article and all the other articles effected. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 18:11, 20 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
:No, it definitely all still stacks (I've done EV-training that way plenty of times). If you defeat 5 hordes, then do Super Training to fill in the last 2 EVs, you'll find you're at 252 EVs (I usually check by trying to use a training bag on them). I think you're just not seeing the EVs show up in your stats as early as you expect to. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 18:15, 20 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
== Eggs inheriting Pokérus + Other Possibilities of Infection == | |||
So let me get this straight... If 2 non-infected parent Pokémon (who have never been infected with Pokérus at all) breed, there's a random chance that the resultant egg/baby could emerge/hatch ''already infected with'' Pokérus '''out of the blue'''? (and I think the distinction between whether an Egg can randomly get Pokérus when you first receive it and whether a non-infected Egg can randomly hatch into a baby with Pokérus is a bit notable) | |||
Also, I've occasionally been breeding Pokérus-infected Pokémon in ''Pokémon Emerald Version'' (either one parent is infected or both of the parents are), and I haven't observed any Pokérus-infected Eggs that were received ''directly'' from the Day-Care Man, nor have I observed a non-infected Egg hatch into a baby infected with Pokérus. I would think that if one or both of the parents is already infected, there would be a much higher chance for an Egg to pop out that is already infected with Pokérus...? (unless that "chance" is similar to the chance that a non-infected party Pokémon can contract Pokérus from an infected party Pokémon adjacent next to it - meaning that just like you may have to battle multiple times until a given Pokémon gets infected from an infected teammate, it may also take multiple tries until infected parents produce an infected Egg?) In any case, I think some of these anomalies may need more testing.. | |||
On a side-note, I'm wondering if: | |||
* non-infected party Pokémon can get infected from infected party Pokémon during link battles or within battling facilities such as the Battle Tower | |||
* whether wild Pokémon in the Battle Pike and Battle Pyramid can pass on Pokérus to the player's party Pokémon | |||
* you mix records (in Generation 3) with someone whose non-Battle Tower team (for use as a Secret Base opponent) and Battle Tower team (for use as a ''Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald'' Battle Tower opponent and/or an ''Emerald'' Battle Tower's Battle Salon partner) are infected with Pokérus, are his/her transferred teams infected with Pokérus? If so, are the transferred teams capable of passing on Pokérus to the player's party Pokémon during a Secret Base battle or a Battle Tower match? | |||
And these also may require some rigorous testing.... >.< [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 20:17, 23 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
== Possible Inadvertent Loss of Pokérus When Saving Inside a Pokémon Center == | |||
To clarify, I added this sentence: | |||
''In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building.'' | |||
I feel that it should be added to the page, as it could catch someone unawares who thinks that the Pokérus is retained merely by depositing a Pokémon in a PC overnight. My own assumption is that when you save inside a Pokémon Center, turn off the game and let midnight pass, and subsequently resume the game after midnight, the game performs some type of "Has midnight passed yet?" check on any Pokémon you withdraw from the PC the moment you ''exit'' the building, so an infected Pokérus could mistakenly be cured just by you walking through the door. I think I tested this phenomenon with other buildings in ''Pokémon Emerald Version'' (like the Battle Pike of Hoenn), and I think it mainly happens only when the player saves in Pokémon Centers, but I can try to double-check later with other buildings. I wasn't sure whether to classify this as a glitch or something else (as it seems like the game is just doing its job), but I think it something that can affect people who aren't paying attention and happen to save after this thing occurs (Luckily, I caught this occurrence ''before'' saving. -.-"). I only know that it happens in ''Emerald'', and I don't have a ''Ruby/Sapphire'' with a working internal clock to test this with, but it seems plausible that the same check happens in those games. Hopefully, other people can test this quirk in Generations 2, 4, 5, and 6? [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 20:50, 23 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
== Effect in FireRed & LeafGreen == | |||
So, Pokemon in the Gen I remakes can't transfer the infection or be cured of it, but do they still gain double EVs from a battle in these games? Meaning in-game fights, not link cable ones. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 03:40, 13 February 2014 (UTC) | |||
== System Clock and Pokerus? == | |||

== Apparently, GYM LEADERS can give you pokerus??? == | |||
So, I was playing Black 2, and went and healed at the pokemon center before battling Cheren--no pokerus. I battle Cheren. I go back to the pokemon center to heal again, after...and am promptly informed that I have pokerus?? Weirder still, I go into my party and check and the infected pokemon was one that I didn't use in the battle--Jeanne never left her pokeball--which I hadn't realized could happen (I was given to understand that your pokemon could catch pokerus from a wild pokemon if you made contact with it). | |||
Has anyone else gotten pokerus from a trainer before? {{unsigned|Harumei}} | |||
:Have you caught Jeanne or used her in a wild battle in between the two Pokémon center visits? Last I've heard, it's impossible to contract Pokérus from Trainer battles of any kind, unless if there's an already infected member in your team, who can spread it to those in adjacent positions in the party after that battle. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 19:18, 12 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
::No, I hadn't; that was my point, that I beat the gym trainers, went to the pokemon center, healed--no pokerus--then went directly back to the gym to challenge Cheren; I battled Cheren and then returned to the pokemon center, without at ANY POINT between visits having battled any one or thing else, and was informed that hey, I had pokerus! I didn't think that was possible either, but it definitely happened![[User:Harumei|Harumei]] ([[User talk:Harumei|talk]]) 22:06, 12 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
I can more or less confirm this. In my White 2 game, for a while now, I've been doing absolutely nothing except battling on the Royal Unova. The last time I went into the Pokemon Center for a heal, everything was fine, but today when I went in again, Mr. Medal presented me with the medal for finding Pokerus. | |||
I don't know the mechanics of Pokerus generation in past games - the beginning of the In the games section currently says it can appear on wild or bred Pokemon - but it looks like [[Pokérus#In Generation V|in Gen V]] the game just decides whether a Pokemon in your party will become infected. You could think of it like, there's a chance that someone you're battling has the virus and that it spreads to your party.

== Friend Safari Higher Chance? == | |||
Ok, so I was in the Friend Safari just a moment ago catching Eevee. I caught 4, 2 went into my party, 2 into the box. I had no Pokémon with the condition active in my party. I went to withdraw the ones in the box to have their IVs Judged and see if their natures are the one I need, and both of the Eevee that went to the box had Pokérus. | |||
I'm not sure if this helps, but the Pokémon I used was a Escavalier with the Swarm ability. | |||
Is it possible that there is a higher chance of catching Pokémon with Pokérus in the friend safari, am I just lucky and got struck by lightning twice (which from my understanding are the odds of running into a Pokérus infected Pokémon) or did the Swarm ability have something to do with it? | |||
I am trying not to speculate or anything. I'm not sure if I can recreate the conditions again, I doubt I will ever catch another wild Pokémon in or out of the Friend Safari with the Pokérus condition. | |||
On a side note, should I experiment to see which strain the two Eevee have. Since they were caught wild with it, sent right to the box, they should have different strains of the virus right? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 20:23, 16 May 2014 (UTC) | |||

== Strain X=0 Pokérus? == | |||
I've brought this up on the forums previously when editing here was restricted, but there wasn't much of a response there, so I’ll bring it up here. When I was training a Joltik, I realised that it had lost its Pokerus without leaving a smiley face, twice. I did a test and I infected 3 Pokemon using my Crawdaunt (which was the Pokemon I'd used to infect Joltik both times previously). After midnight, all the Pokemon lost their Pokerus without leaving a smiley face. | |||
Not sure if anyone has experienced this as well, and I’ll be happy to trade a Pokemon infected with the strain of Pokerus if you want to check the claim (assuming the strain stays the same with trading). Is strain X=0 Pokerus possible in X/Y? Or is it a glitch? (Just a note, this was on v 1.2 and hopefully it's the same for v 1.3) :) --[[User:Wowy|<span style="color:#ED9121">'''Wowy'''</span>]][[User talk:Wowy|<sub style="color:#LL0000;">'''(Talk)'''</sub>]] 04:44, 4 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
:How did you get the Pokérus in the first place?

::I have no idea at all! My thought was that it was from Wondertrade since I recall obtaining a few infected Pokemon through that, but besides it's definitely not the one I sent through Transporter, and I don't recall obtaining Pokerus through normal trades besides Wondertrade.
