The pokerus is a virus that helps your Pokemon level up faster. If an infected Pokemon is at your party, the virus spreads to the other Pokemon. It isn't harmful at all.

Getting it is totally random and rare, but if you have it, when you go to heal in a Poke Center, the nurse informs you that one of your Pokemon has it. You can alson check the status of a Pokemon. Where it would say poisoned or paralyzed, it will say pokerus.

If you want to get rid of it, simply put the infected Pokemon in a computer box.

How can you get rid of pokerus?

If you really want to get rid of pokerus, you would need to keep the infected Pokemon in your party (alone, so as to prevent other Pokemon getting infected) for twenty four hours. That said, you really don't want to get rid of pokerus. It's effects are purely beneficial. It doubles the EVs you get from battle, making your Pokemon get stronger faster and making EV training much easier.


How do you spread pokerus in fire red or LeafGreen?

If you get a Pokerus, then you're very lucky. So keep the Pokemon that you want to get the Pokerus spread to, and keep them in your party. As you travel, the Pokerus will gradually spread to all of the Pokemon in your party. Another great note - If you want every single Pokemon you have to get Pokerus, then keep one Pokemon with Pokerus in your PC Box. I think the Pokerus doesn't go away there, so you can keep on spreading Pokerus to every other!


How do you get rid of a Pokemon in Pokemon Pearl version?

Some people say it goes away by itself... or so i'v heard... pokerus goes away on its own. there isn't a sure way to get rid of it, but most Pokemon become immune to if after a while. If it is immune, the pkrs will go away and there will be a small picture of a face next to it. pokerus is a good thing though, you don't want it to go away because your Pokemon will get large lvl up bonuses. (mine gained +4 and +5 on every level up)

The trade will begin and you'll get the other person's pokemon. THAT POKEMON MAY HAVE POKERUS!!! You won't be able to see it yourself, so as soon as you get the pokemon, go to the pokemon center.

What is PokeRus in Pokemon Sapphire and how do you cure it?

Pokerus (short for poke virus) is a special status found on Pokemon, it will only come off after a few days by itself. But pokerus is actually a good status, if doubles your stats, and lots more (only for that time). But if you keep that Pokemon in PC it will stay there till you take it out. If you put that Pokemon in your party, sometimes the other Pokemon even gets it. Pokemon with pokerus is soooooooooo rare, so make use of every minute. Even after it is cured the effects of the pokerus remain.


How do your Pokemon get the pokerus?

The chance of catching a Pokemon with pokerus is even worse that getting a shiny one. What I did was I went online to different forums and discussion places (Gaia online was where I actually got it, but anyway) and asked someone to trade me a Pokemon with pokerus for a kyogre or something like that, because once you have a Pokemon WITH pokerus, you just have to battle with the Pokemon in your team, and it starts to spread. Look out though, Pokerus goes away pretty fast, so always keep one that's infected in your PC.


What does pokerus do in pokemon soulsilver?

Even though its a virus and it can possibly corrupt your saved data pokerus can make your Pokemon stats go up more when they level up so its not all bad.


In Pokemon Diamond version can someone give you their friend code and battle with a Pokemon with Pokerus?

Yes... I'm sure they could, but I think that you can only contract PokeRus from wild Pokemon or from fellow, in-game Pokemon. Link battles seem to be an exception to many normal Pokemon rules (like stealing items), so you can't guarantee your Pokemon will catch PokeRus through a WiFi battle.


What effects does pokerus have on the Pokemon that has caught it?

The Pokerus is a helpful virus which helps your Pokemon to get stronger more quickly. :) Each time you defeat an enemy, you get special effort points which help determine which stats are most improved upon levelling up. With the Pokerus, these effort points are doubled, so you don't have to defeat as many enemies to get the stats you want improved. Once your Pokemon has recovered from Pokerus (it will have a little smiley face or dot beside its picture) it can never catch it again, but I've read that the benefits of Pokerus stay forever. You should put an infected Pokemon in your computer so you can infect your newcomers in the future. Pokemon don't recover from the Pokerus for as long as they are in the computer :)


What does pkrs mean on platinum?

Pkrs is the in-game abbreviation of PokeRus (taken from Pokemon and virus). The word simply means that it is a virus that affects only Pokemon in the game. Pokemon with PokeRus, as said above, develop their stats better than normal Pokemon, so the virus is completely beneficial. Be aware, though, that PokeRus will fade away if you keep your infected Pokemon in your party over 24 hours. To keep the PokeRus condition, repeditively store your Pokemon in the PC overnight. You will know if your Pokemon has become immune to PokeRus as it has a dot (.) where the face used to be (signifying it had the condition, as well as the 'pkrs' word under 'status').PokeRus is contracted through in-game play; battling wild Pokemon. Just like the shiny condition, Pokemon may have the PokeRus condition (but both are extremely rare). If you battle a wild Pokemon which has PokeRus, your fighting Pokemon will contract it and you will then have a method of transferring the virus to your other Pokemon. To transfer the virus to other Pokemon, simply have the desired Pokemon in your party and battle with the infected Pokemon. Very soon it will catch on. Note: Immune Pokemon (who have had and passed the virus) cannot get re-infected.Of course, you can always migrate or trade for a Pokemon that has PokeRus. It is not very particular, so you really can trade for any Pokemon. This is probably the best option as the virus is very rare and the chances of contracting it are very low. Having said that, persistance is the key to most things in Pokemon games, so you never can tell.Read more: What_does_PKRS_mean_in_Pokemon_Diamond_and_Pearl_and_how_do_you_get_it


Which Pokemon have the Pokevirus?

The Poke-virus you are referring to is called PokeRus, and is not found on any one specific Pokemon. It can be found on all Pokemon and is not species-specific or more commonly found on one species. All wild Pokemon have a chance of having PokeRus and so your captured Pokemon have a chance of getting it.
