− | '''Pokérus''' is a virus in the game series that any Pokémon can catch if it has not already been infected once before. The effects of this virus are very beneficial to the Pokémon that receives it. Catching the virus however, is a very rare event, as the odds of meeting a wild Pokémon with it is 1 to 21,845. Similar to the Macho Brace, Pokérus will double the [[Effort value|EV]] (effort values) stats of a Pokémon. A player can combine a Macho Brace and Pokérus to get a substantial amount of EV's. |
