The Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon, and only if they have never had Pokérus before. The Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. As long as the Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as Sleep, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. When a Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If any of the player's Pokémon are infected, the Pokérus may spread among Pokémon in the player's party after any battle.įrom Generation IV onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 (or approximately a 1 in 21,845) chance of being generated on one of the player's Pokémon after a battle, making it rarer than encountering or hatching a Shiny Pokémon. While it is represented similarly to status conditions, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a Pokémon Center or with any status condition healing item. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods, such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. Effort points gained from Vitamins and Feathers are not doubled. When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the effort values from battling (e.g., fighting a Magikarp will give two Speed EVs, rather than one).
