It's very random, it's like getting a shiny Pokemon, it's all about luck. The chance is very small, so you'll just need to catch every Pokemon and see if any of them has Pokerus. Heh.

Well, actually, Pokerus is even rarer than a shiny. I have never seen a pokerus Pokemon before, but I don't want one! I know it boosts stats, but it's annoying! Once you put the pokemon in the PC.... BAM! All of your Pokemon are affected. I don't want that to happen! I swear, I've seen two Pokerus Pokemon in my life, and I didn't catch them. I hear the rumors about them all the time. But on LeafGreen, they're impossible to catch, even with a Masterball, as I've seen!

Pokerus does nothing bad.....and it does not boost status. It only doubles the effort points that you've gained while battling pokemon. Only useful if you're effort point training. And if you put the infected pokemon in the PC, nothing happens but the virus is gone. It usually goes away in a few days.

Yea, and if the infected pokemon is left alone in your team, then your other pokemon will be infected, too. I've only gotten it once in my Gold Version.

If you want it then you'd better live in FL.

would it be very obvious if you had it?

Very obvious. Your Pokemon has the a Pokerus stat. Also, because there is no clock in FR/LG, you have the Pokerus forever! Yay! *starts a Pokerus seach in FR*

I'm very lucky. I've had the Pokerus 3 times. But no shinys.

FALSE!
You don't catch the Pokémon and have it infected right at that moment. And yes, they're impossible to catch, because they belong to a trainer(you). =P
I've heard that if you trade an infected Pokémon to FR/LG, it will stay that way because there's no clock.

Ok time to sum this up. I have known how to get this virus the whole time. Its just that i wanted to see if others knew but i guess not. You get the virus in ruby/sapp by battles in grass on route 102 where that kid caught ralts. Moves you do to k.o. the pokemon must be done by contact such as tackle,slash,ext. Also it takes hours to days and days so on. Now get out there and try it.
p.s Since your doing all those battles you could be doing a 2 in one seach since a shiny may appear while doing this.

That's not true neither. And I knew what it is, and so did some other people. You made a pointless thread! You knew it all the time! That's wasting others' space.

Ok then know it all then how do you get it. Well who cares cause i already know i read how to get it off a game cheat site and when i spent hours using scyther's slash on route 102 he caught the virus. Also theres alot of pointless threads on here so cry about it.

Ruby, once on Emerald) and niether spot was on route 102.

i caught a shiney feebas and didn't know it had pkrs 'till i checked out it's stats. how many pkrs pkmn do i have now? one sec. lemme check mai game. *3 seconds later*
key:
(how i got it)
name
[how many]
pkrs pkmn
Delcatty (traded)
clampearl (caught)
sharpedo (caught)
magnimite (caught)
electrode (caught)
eletrike (caught)
pikachu (caught)
raichu (evolved/caught)
pichu (hatched)
manetric (caught)
kadabra (evolved/caught)
geodude [2] (caught)
wingull (hatched)
something i've noticed: pokemon with dots next to their pokeballs can't get pkrs. also, if u get an egg and put it with other pkmn w/ pkrs in ur party and it gets pkrs, it will get 4 moves at birth.:ermm:
p.s. i've only caught 1 pkrs pkmn. the rest just caught it

Thats good thanks maybe now i will get more level ups since doing all that on route 102 doesn't get you that much exp.

Someone told me a dot next to there pokeball meant thay had already caught pokerus at one time.

I caught it on Mt. Pyre.
A dot means they had it then it left.
Ironically enough it spread to my Deoxys.
As you know Deoxys a space Virus pkmn. It caught the PKRS virus. How funny is that?
I've seen 2 shinys. I caught a black zubat in That cave in dewford and then lost the game.
Then I bought a new game and saw a purple wurmple but had no pokeballs. This is just stupid.
Theres almost a chat room. You can talk about different things. It's in OTHER CHAT. t's called daily Chit Chat.:wink:

No it's not. It's black.:tongue:
If I had one then I should know what color it was.
It eveolved into a Black Golbat.
Then It turned into a pink Crobat. It had green wings if I remember correctly.

Maybe it was another game. See, some games' shiny Pokemon look different than shiny from other games.
Edit: I checked Serebii, and I didn't see any black Zubats/Golbats. Either you are blind or don't remember right.

OMG!!! Well some one please tell Deathlunar that zubat's shiny color is green.
ps If they say green are you going to call them blind as well LMAO. Edit: I did a google image search for shiny zubat and looks green to me.

dude this thread is completely pointless. o ya and kids dont listen to anything a cheat site says bout PKRS/shinies/ any glitch in pokemon. eventually no matter how good or full proof the glitch is, it is goning to mess ur game up eventually. so dont cheat. and honestly who cares what color a shiny zubat is i mean its shiny either way. and if i can find a gengar in mt moon in blue version i believe anything is possible lol:biggrin:

Err...I DID NOT say Zubat's shiny colour is black. :susp: Team Overkill did.
I said I didn't find a black Zubat anywhere! And I didn't say you are blind. So you misunderstood.

Yup. Twas me that said it was black.
I still think it was black. Lets just end it here and keep our thoughts to ourselves. OK?
shiny hunter
02-03-2007, 10:59 PM
Ok i agree to keep it to ourselves and apoligize for being a pr!ck this thread is suppose to be about pokerus. So i think its best to get back on the topic.
