Ok it is a virus that makes Pokemon rase quicker yes it can spread and you can get rid of it by just leaving it in your box and it is hard to cach

RevengeRacer answered:

It is a virus that affects your Pokemon and to get it, you have to fight wild Pokemon and there is a small chance of getting it. It will wear off after a while but there is a way to preserve the virus. It basically boosts your pokemons stats. To keep passing the virus on to your other Pokemon, put one of the affected Pokemon into the computer and it will affect anyone in that box. As long as there is at least one person in the PC with pokerus, it won't go away. You will know you have it if you try to heal at a Pokemon center and the nurse tells you that one of your Pokemon has contracted the virus

Pokemon OWN answered:

Its virus that gives you Pokemon more experience. So it's a good thing.

Pokerus is a virus that gets infected into your pokes and it makes them grow faster so it's a good virus and the cure is to keep it in your party and battle with it so that it will go away

Pokerus is a GOOD thing!
Yes it's a virus but it raises the effected pokemon's stats higher.
No they'res not a cure but it can spread to other Pokemon in your party.
It just goes away eventually leaving a little smiley face in the corner of the picture.
So don't worry it will go away soon enough if that's what you really want.
It's extremely RARE though.

Pokerus is a virus that can be caught naturally in the game. It will infect your Pokemon and any that come into contact with it. The effects of pokerus are quite beneficial to your pokemon. It causes them to gain exp faster than usual. The virus will wear off but it's effects will last for ever on the Pokemon that had it.

There are also action replay codes posted on Supercheats to make your Pokemon become infected by pokerus.

I think you can only get it with a cheat device. It cures by itself. 24 hour life span. It helps you're Pokemon gain more stats when I levels up. Itll go away after 24 hours of it being in your Pokemon party. It's a virus and it is contagious.

Trainer Saphire answered:

To get the pokerus,you must train your Pokemon to their limit[the experince share works to,but takes longer to get the pokerus].
Keep training your Pokemon for a while,bit DO NOT GO TO A POKEMON CENTER!

It is okay to use Potion , Full Restore, ect.
When you want to get rid of your pokemons pokerus,keep training and it will go away after a while.

I hope I've helped.[The reason I'm an expert on this is because most of my Pokemon had the pokerus!]

v-gamer answered:

PokeRus is extremely good, and it's very rare to come by. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't know what IV's/EV's are, so I'll do my best.

When you have PokeRus, and the Pokemon who has it gains a level, you'll notice that all their stats grow abnormally fast; this won't work with a Rare Candy [for those cheaters out there] so good riddance. Anyway, they grow so quickly so that your pokemon's IV number will go up by one. Depending on which stats influence the IV number to go up depends on the opponents EVs. A trainer would normally get their pokemon's IV number to match the type they want Hidden Power to be. This is known as "EV training".

If you didn't understand a word I just said, just know this: Pokerus is good and helps your pokemon's stats grow quickly.

It spreads in your team if you walk around for a bit. The Pokemon who have it keeps it if you leave them in the PC. And if you keep them in your team long enough, it'll disappear. Simple as that.

shinypokehunter answered:

Pokerus is a vires but doesnt harm or lower the stats of the pokemon. I heard it grows the stats better. you know when you went to the poke center nurse joy said [o this pokemon has a vires it is pokerus] well another thing the only way to get ride of it is time. It has to be in your pack to get ride of it. Another bad thing if will infect the other pokemon in your party. Hope this info helped.

Guest answered:

Pokerus is rare, I get that, but I have been hearing that it actually lowers your stats, but promotes high leveling. Now, if you ask me, I think that I would rather have a powerful level 100 that required LOTS of training, than a wimpy 100.

Guest answered:

I got it just by chance it spreads very quikly
