Can somebody explain Pokerus to me? ^-^

Pokerus is simple (once you've got it, that is).  Here's a bulletpoint list of the important things to know about it.

- Finding it randomly on a wild pokemon makes farming shinies look like a joke.  Easiest way to get it if you ever lose it is trade for a mon infected with it.

- Spreading it isn't that hard.  Only requirement is that you have an infected pokemon in the party and you win a battle.  It doesn't always spread after a battle though.  It might take 2-3 to work (kinda like how Pickup works). It is recommended you put the infected mon(s) in slots 2-4 of the party to optimize the chances pkrs spreads.

- It permanently gives the pokemon double EV gains, even after it's 'cured'.  This stacks with (and doubles) the effect of power items.

- Finally, it can only be 'cured' if the pokemon isn't boxed.  Always keep at least one infected mon in the PC, and you'll never have to worry about losing it.  In addition, it is only 'cured' when the clock strikes midnight, so make sure to deposit any mons you want to keep infected before then.
