Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 chance of being generated on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, either {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[Pokémon breeding|bred]]. 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 would never have a Pokémon with the virus. | Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 chance of being generated on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, either {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[Pokémon breeding|bred]].

In later generations, the Pokérus became more accessible, with several event Pokémon during [[Generation III]] having it when transferred into a player's game, and with worldwide trading facilitated by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s Wi-Fi capabilities beginning [[Generation IV]]. In fact, it is common courtesy to infect Pokémon to be traded on the Global Trade Station with Pokérus within some parts of the fandom. | In later generations, the Pokérus became more accessible, with several event Pokémon during [[Generation III]] having it when transferred into a player's game, and with worldwide trading facilitated by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s Wi-Fi capabilities beginning [[Generation IV]].

Also, a Pokémon's chances of being infected with the virus very slightly increase when a Pokémon has been traded from another game. | ||
