Spreading the pokerus.

[SUBRICK]

What is the fastest way to spread the pokerus around your pokemon? I'm sorry if there's a FAQ on this, but I haven't found one.

Pokerus will spread to the other Pokemon in your party if you just give it some time. It won't spread in the PC.

What a shame. What if you maxed out Evs for a pokemon in your party? Will they catch the pokeflu? XD

......no...idea....*sits down and begins to stroke chin* "Hmmmmmm"

Just a suggestion--it's really spam if you don't know the answer to a question, and you go and post "I don't know" anyway. If you do enough of that you can get a warning for spamming, so just watch that.

Yes, EV-maxed Pokemon can also catch Pokerus. It won't do them any good, of course, but they can help spread it to others.

Though it doesn't spread in the PC, it won't go away if the Pokemon with Pokerus is in the PC, either.

The fastest way to actually spread it is to put two Pokemon in your party who have it, and put them in slots 2 and 5. The Pokerus will only spread to the Pokemon next to it, so if you have them in 2 and 5, it will spread to every Pokemon in your party after only a few battles. Of course, if you only have one in your party with Pokerus, you will eventually get it to every Pokemon, but it's slower. Just a side note, eggs can get Pokerus, too and that counts as their one chance in "life" to get it.

Once eggs hatch, they cannot become infected?

Chaos Emerald said it better than I could, but it's always taken me only one battle to spread PokeRus from one Pokemon to another, instead of the "few" CE mentions.

Once eggs hatch, they cannot become infected?

No, that's incorrect. Pokemon can only be infected by the virus once in their lives. After that, they become immune to the disease, denoted by a black dot in their status pages. What Chaos Emerald meant is that if a Pokemon is infected as an egg, s/he will have the virus when s/he hatches, but a "PokeRus baby" won't carry the virus for longer than Pokemon which caught it later in life, and can still only be infected once.
