PokeRus is a very rare “virus” that spreads amongst party Pokemon. Once a Pokemon has PokeRus, it gainsdoubleof the EVs it would normally gain from Pokemon battling.For example, a normal Pokemon would gain 1 Speed EV when defeating a Magikarp.A Pokemon with PokeRus would gain2Speed EVs when defeating a Magikarp.

So, you obviously would want to spread this! It spreads after battling with your party Pokemon. There is no definite number of battles it takes to spread, but it does spread rather quickly.

More technical tidbits here.

After a certain amount of “days”(internal clock passing midnight)a Pokemon is cured of PokeRus and cannot spread it any longer. However, it still retains the positive effects of it, meaning it still gains double EVs! A Pokemon that is cured of PokeRus has aicon on its status/summary screen.

You can keep it from disappearing and always have a Pokemon that can spread it if you keep a Pokemon with PokeRus in your PC.

Pokemon with PokeRus just have anincreased EV-gaining rate.

The EVs your Pokemon gains from defeating other Pokemon will double. So if you met a Pokemon would normally give you +2 Sp. Def, your PokeRus Pokemon will actually gain +4 Sp. Def from that Pokemon! This simply makes EV-training a lot easier.

PokeRus can be very convenient for a competitive battler - if you aren’t a competitive battler, I’d just recommend bragging. Simply because PokeRus is very rare. :)

And you say you got PokeRus on three Pokemon you don’t normally use - however, if you want to give PokeRus to another Pokemon of yours simply put that Pokemon and the infected Pokemon together in your party, and the infection will spread! :)

Keep one in your PCWhy. If you keep one in your PC, you can keep it FOREVER.

You want to keep one with Pokerus just in cause you or somebody ever wants to make a team. If you do Pokerus + Power Item Weight/ Bracer/ Belt/ Lens/ Band/ Anklet + Horde, you’ll be done EV training in no time.

-Also if it says “POKERUS” and not a face, you can spread it to a Pokémon you want to train.

If you don’t want Pokerus (which I don’t know why you shouldn’t), you have to not battle with anything, technically meaning that you have to stop playing for a day and continue on the next.

Now, if you want Pokerus, EITHER KEEP IT IN YOUR BOX OR BATTLE WITH AS MUCH POKEMON AS YOU CAN TO GET YOUR FULL TEAM WITH POKERUS.

Pokerus is a little “virus” that helps your Pokemon actually become stronger. There’s no glitch to it, and almost anybody would want a Pokemon with Pokerus and good stats.

Hope this helped!
