Any Pokémon on the player's party at the moment the system clock reaches midnight after a certain number of days in that position (number of days depends on the strain and generation) will become immune. An easy way to keep a "vessel" for future spreading is to always send the infected Pokémon to the PC, {{pkmn|Day Care}}, {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} (in [[Generation II]]), {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} (in [[Generation III]]), or [[My Pokémon Ranch]] (in [[Generation IV]]) before midnight. The game also recognizes immunizing if the system is turned off and on again on the next day. | Any Pokémon on the player's party at the moment the system clock reaches midnight after a certain number of days in that position (number of days depends on the strain and generation) will become immune.
