PokeRus stands for Pokémon Virus however it's a beneficial virus that will allow your party Pokémon (any of them that gain experience after battles) will cause their effort values to be increased after battles. PokeRus will also have the added effect of the virus being contagious as long as the Pokémon is in your party and there is a chance of the infectious nature of the virus disappearing after midnight in-game time. The infectious nature of the virus will freeze if it is placed in the PC however regardless of it being infectious or not the virus will always give out doubled EVs (or effort values) after every battle that it gains experience in regardless of whether it participates in the battle or not.

Does pokerus work with rare candies?

Pokerus is a Pokemon sickness that will give your Pokemon more power by doubling the EVs you get from battle. It also spreads to the Pokemon on either side of the infected one after battles. If you mean giving them rare candies will give them Pokerus, no, but if you're asking can you give Pokemon rare candies while they have pokerus, then yes.


Why cant you trade mew at the GTS in Pokemon platinum?

it depends. if mew is infected with pokerus (a Pokemon virus that makes them level up faster) it cannot be traded. However, pokerus can be cured by nurse joy. you just go to the Pokemon center like a regular check-up, talk to her, then she will ask you if you want to cure your Pokemon of pokerus. if you want to trade your mew, then you should heal it of pokerus. WARNING: if you withdraw mew from the GTS, and you decide you want the pokerus back....you can't. there is no way for you to give mew or any other Pokemon it's Pokemon virus back. So it's a 1-time shot. Or maybe you haven't seen one yet. You have to see one in the game first.


If a Pokemon is cured of pokerus will it still get double effort points?

Yes, all the benefits of Pokerus will still apply, but it won't be able to spread it to other Pokemon anymore.


How does a Pokemon get Pokerus in Pokemon Diamond?

Your Pokemon can get Pokerus, but it is rare to find. Just wait until and then on the Pokemons Summary page, it will say PKRS. Once you go to a PokeCenter and heal it, It will be healed and that Pokemon can never get it again.AnswerTo have a Pokemon with the condition PokeRus, you must have it battle an infected Pokemon (which is a wild Pokemon). This is very rare, as the chances of finding a wild Pokemon with PokeRus is about the same as the chances of finding a shiny Pokemon. PokeRus is not contracted by waiting around. It is caught through Pokemon Battles only. If you take your Pokemon to be healed at the Pokemon Center, the PokeRus condition is not erased. The nurse will simply mention that your Pokemon has PokeRus and comment on the fact it is good. Your Pokemon will still have it, but it will fade away if the Pokemon is not deposited in the PC before 24 hours has passed.Thanks! I'm going to try it out. but I don't know yet. Let's see. I wanted my suicune, moltres, zapdos, shiny arceus, (pokerus pass on rayquaza) and chatot. Ive not deposited yet, but i wait.The way you spread it on to other Pokemon is through wild Pokemon battles and it takes at least 2 to 5 battles you can see it on youtube.com


Is there an action replay cheat for Pokemon pearl that gives a Pokemon pokerus if there is can someone give it to you?

Does pkrs make your Pokemon disappear?

No Pokerus is a major benefit and only increases your Pokemon's stats dramatically. It depletes after a while sadly, but if you put the infected Pokemon in the PC the pokerus will spread throughout your boxes. I hope this helped


How can you tell if one of your Pokemon caught the Pokerus?

It says pkrs. On the Pokemon summary screen, under 'status', you should see a purple block with the words 'Pkrs' on it. You should also see a face (much like an emoticon), near the Pokemon's picture. These allow for you to see if the Pokemon has PokeRus. The first time one (or more) of your Pokemon gets PokeRus and you take them to be healed in a center, the nurse there will comment on the differen condition of the Pokemon.

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!


Pokemon Diamond code 4 pokerus in Pokemon Diamond?

There is no code for pokerus, if you use the GTS -Global trade station- In jubilife city, you can leave a pokemon overnight, then when you go back there in the morning, someone may have offered a pokemon for yours. 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. If your pokemon has pokerus, Nurse Joy will tell you. POKERUS IS GOOD!!!!!!! It raises your pokemon's stats to the max, and when pokerus goes away, the effects stay!! POKERUS IS CONTAIGUS! Keep changing your party and your pokemon will ALL catch the virus :D Good luck getting pokerus :D
