Pokerus

[3dsatackman]

I had pokerus on a pokemon but i did not know that now it says a ton of my pokemon have it. is it bad? and does that mean that they will not battle right because of a virus? and is there a cure?

Pokérus is positive. It allows EV training way faster. Also, note that Pokérus can be spread through your team !
But, after that a Pokémon has recovered from Pokérus, he can't get it again.
A small tip: If you want to keep Pokérus for later spread, stock an infected Pokémon in your PC !

its amazing ?! its like a disease that helps you and helps train your pokemon !
its like the best pokemon virus you could ever have
haha @D4rkDragon thats exactly what i do i have a few infected pokemon

Pokerus is a helpful disease that nets Pokemon double the EV's you would normally get. For example, if your Scyther has Pokerus, and you defeat a Vanillite, Vanillite gives you one Sp. Atk EV. However, with Pokerus, your Scyther would gain 2 EV's. It is really helpful in EV training.

ok so it is a good thing, i thought that it was bad because it was a virus. and thats cool that it helps with ev training.

I think my Delphox has Pokèrus, because it keeps shaking at the start of a battle and a message comes up, saying things like, "Blazei seems a little out of it."

That just means that your Pokémon loves you. Generally, these messages pop up when you have four hearts or more with a Pokémon in Pokémon-Amie. It doesn't mean that the Pokémon has Pokérus.

Oh, OK. But the lady in the Pokèmon Centre said that Blazei had Pokèrus, so I just assumed that it was a side-effect.

No. But if you check the (infected) Pokémon's status, a pink label with "Pokérus" inside should appear. That's the technique to check if a Pokémon has Pokérus !

Oh, OK. How do you check the status?

The only time where a disease is actually helpful...

you check ,by looking at the pokemon at the pc, or by check status when you tap the pokemon.

It seems like Blazei doesn't have Pokèrus, then.
