How can you tell if a Pokémon has Pokerus?
Infected Pokémon will have a purple icon next to their name—either a purple smiley icon or a bar that says “Pokérus.” A smiley icon indicates that the Pokémon has recovered from the virus while the bar icon means that the Pokémon is still infected and can spread the infection to others in the team.
Is Pokerus a glitch?
Pokerus is not a glitch. It’s a real thing. It raises the EV’s of the Pokemon affected and it’s also contagious.
Is Pokerus rare?
And because there’s only a one in 21,845 chance of getting the Pokerus from the wild, players tend to greet the virus with open arms.
Can Pokerus spread if you run?
Pokerus may or may not spread based on a call to the RNG (so based on chance) after any battle, regardless of how the battle ended. It will only spread to adjacent Pokemon.
What are EV’s?
All-electric vehicles (EVs), also referred to as battery electric vehicles, have an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. Because it runs on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components, such as a fuel pump, fuel line, or fuel tank.

What happens if you catch pokerus in Pokemon Crystal?
That makes it rarer to catch the virus than it is to catch or hatch a regular shiny Pokémon. However, unlike human viruses, it’s a good thing when your Pokémon catch this one. It causes a Pokémon to gain double the Effort Values (EVs) from battling. For example, a Pokémon with Pokérus might gain two Attack EVs rather than the one they usually get.
