Pokerus is a beneficial condition in Pokémon games. It's like a permanent workout for your Pokémon, doubling their EVs (Effort Values) earned.
Here's the breakdown:
* What is Pokerus? A rare, contagious virus that doubles the speed at which your Pokémon earn EVs (Effort Values).
* How do I know if my Pokémon has Pokerus? It's indicated by a "Pokerus" status in the summary screen, and by a "POKE" symbol next to the Pokémon's name.
* Is Pokerus harmful? No! It's a good thing!
* How long does Pokerus last? It can be passed down for four generations (meaning you can breed infected Pokémon and their offspring will also have Pokerus).
* Is there a way to get rid of Pokerus? No, you can't "cure" Pokerus. If you don't want your Pokémon to have it, you can simply release them or trade them to another player.
So, embrace the Pokerus! It's a great way to make your Pokémon stronger faster.
