Pokerus is a virus. No, not the sort that jams up your computer. An illness. But this one is rather unusual. It gets you double Effort points (if you don't know what those are, I suggest you read the guide found here. If you've read it and STILL don't understand it, I suggest you don't bother.) So it's very useful to have, and so it's something everyone wants. Strange how everyone wants their pokemon to catch a virus :-P

Anyways; how to catch it. It's pretty hard to do this. What you have to do is battle a pokemon, wild or trainer, which has the virus. Then your pokemon will catch it. There are two ways you can tell you have it. One, you can see a little status thing beneath your pokemon that has a tag saying PKRS, the abbreviation for Pokerus. Two, Nurse Joy will tell you one of your pokemon has it when you heal a pokemon with Pokerus at a pokemon centre. Once you have it, it's easy to spread it to others. Just put it in your PC and it will spread to those in the same box as yours. Alternately, if it is in your party it will spread to others in your party.

Oh, a word of warning. After a while, the virus will go away. So when you catch the virus, battle like crazy until it's gone and make good use of it.

Any tips? Oh, I have a couple. One; Mix records a lot and then battle the people in their base. I got Pokerus TWICE by doing this. Two; if you get it give it to someone else by trading a pokemon with the virus. Then they can give it back to you after you've lost the virus. Handy if you need some long-term training.

Good luck!

Thanks to Boo 0o for this!
