something about PKRS whos arent in the FAQ

[draco draco]

i need to know: how would the enemy look if it have PKRS? i know shinys have another color and sparkle in the start of the battle, but is there any way to identify a pokemon who have PKRS?

Well, how do you that? Why would nintendo change the color of pokerus shinies? You've gotta be pretty lucky to get a pokerus shiny. The only way to identify is to catch the pokemon and check.

lol it wasnt that i did mean.. is there any way you can see on a enemy pokemon that it have PKRS? do it have the status there were the bad status (poisoned burn etc.) would be?

There is no way to determine if an enemy Pokemon has Pokerus aside from actually battling it. Also, it would make sense to me that you would need to use a contact move against a Pokemon in order to acquire Pokerus; however, I cannot confirm the accuracy of that claim.

Also, I have read cases about people getting Pokerus from the Pokemon of NPC trainers, but I'd stick with wild Pokemon to be safe.

so if im want it i just need to go crazy with a poke whos got alot of attack based moves on wild pokes OR get ALOT of balls and go crazy and catch all pokes i see?

yep or get lucky like me and double edge a linoone/electrike/zigzagoon/magnetric/wingull with an aerodactyl. You have to have physical contact, I tried this with my brother, We linked up and battled, first no contact, then contact, and the pokemon caught the virus. (it doesn't keep PKRS for some reason after the battle. its like sketch and thief, everything is unlearnt/given back after the link battle)
