For example, if a Pokémon has a Pokérus value of 50 (hex 32), meaning it has strain 3 and will be cured in 2 more days. If it were to infect another Pokémon, the new Pokémon would obtain the Pokérus value of 52 (hex 34), meaning it would instead be cured in 4 more days. The strain remains constant when copied over. The remaining number of days prior to being cured however, depends on the strain itself. | For example, if a Pokémon has a Pokérus value of 50 (hex 32), meaning it has strain 3 and will be cured in 2 more days.

However one of these 16 strains is illegitimate: Strain 0. This is because when Pokérus values between 1 through 15 (hexadecimals 01 through 0F) eventually decrease down to 0 (hexadecimal 00), a Pokémon would not only be cured of Pokérus, but would also lose any sign of having been infected in the first place—meaning that they could become reinfected at a later point in time. | ||
As a result, out of the 240 possible states of Pokérus infection, only 39 of them are considered legitimate. This can be calculated by adding up all of the 15 legitimate strains and multiplying each of them by the possible number of remaining infected days (2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 39). | As a result, out of the 240 possible states of Pokérus infection, only 39 of them are considered legitimate.
