Questions about Spreading Pokerus

[Dan the Pokeman]

1st - How can you tell which Pokemon has Pokerus? I mean, if you have a full party and go to the PC and get the Pokerus message, which individual one has it? I noticed one Pokemon has a note at the bottom under the summary that says "Status: Pkrs". Does that indicate it has Pokerus?

2nd - Exactly how long does it take to spread Pokerus among your party? All I've seen is "a little while". I had the above Pokemon in my party long enough to hatch 2 eggs, but none of the other Pokemon have the "Status: Pkrs" note in their summaries.

Any suggestions?

when you check your pokemons stats, it should say pokeRUS in the same place when you are poisoned/sleep/paralyzed

Ok, now I need to know how long it takes to spread the Pokerus?

Or, is it something else? Do I have to battle, fly, surf or something else to spread it?

Just keep one infected pokemon in your party and do some battles. Remember not to have the pokemon you want to EV train in any battles yet though, unless you keep track of their Effort points. Check for infection after every 3 or 4 battles. I usually see it start to spread soon - like within 10 or so battles. Once infected, put all the infected pokemon back in the box to stop the pokeRus timer from running, then you can use the pokemon later to infect others in the future.

I do things in the following order:
1 Give all vitamins
2 Infect with PokeRus (as described above)
3 Give the pokemon you want to train the macho brace to hold and make sure it has pokeRus, then EV train. Each battle will give you 4x effort points, cutting down your EV training time by a lot.

Got PokeRus?

shineyaltaria - Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for!

For that matter, thanks to everyone who replied. You're all very helpful!

[EDIT: I tried it, and worked exactly like you said it would. I would mention that it spread to the Pokemon next to the infected one first, and to the others later. It spread to the Pokemon on either side of it after about 3-4 battles, and after about 10 battles, all Pokemon in the party were infected.]
