TYPE CRREFUL nature, net at Le30 Your POKMON nay be infected with THERE'S AN IN-GAME VIRUS THAT POKEMON CAN CATCH CALLED POKERUS. IT CAN'T BE HEALED AT A POKEMON CENTER OR HITH ITEMSs AND CAN ONLY BE CONTRACTED BY THE POKEMON IN QUESTION ONCE. IT HAS 31N 65,536 CHANCEOF GENERATINGs e をON A POKEMON, EITHER HILD OR BRED, THE VIRUS CAUSES POKEMON TO GAIN DOUBLE THE EFFORT VALUES FROM BATTLES DIDvOUKNOuGAMING.coM While infected, POKéMON are said to grow exceptionally well. The Truth of Pokérus It has always been hinted that Pokémon arrived from outer space or are some sort of aliens. There is no proof to this claim. Enter Pokérus Pokérus is a disease ("Virus") that infects only Pokémon and can be transmitted to other Pokémon via the parent body. It's all fun and games in increasing the infected Pokémon's growth rate (Effort Values), but this is where the truth lies. Some of the in-game info on Pokérus are: "(infected) Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well" and "Little is known about the POKéRUS except that they're microscopic life." Even Professor Elm can't explain this In "Oaknapped", Professor Namba explained to Professor Oak that the Pokérus is an important component Team Rocket's secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with Pokérus to evolve them ata faster rate (Red Magikarp) The implications of these are unsettling- The Pokérus is an alien Pathogen that breached the Earth at some point in history, possibly a million years before the Generation I storyline, the timeline of Mew. There have been several references to real-world animals in Pokémon. So, this Pokérus possibly infected some of the earliest living creatures on Earth, sending them on a long trajectory of violent mutation Perhaps only Arceus, the Creation Trio and the Lake Guardians are 'actual' Pokémon. Or maybe just Arceus. The others are viral mutations of normal animals, with Mew being the first 'animal to be infected This also shows why most Pokémon are based on real-world animals or worse, humans. The Pokérus must have 'died off some time after the initial infection, but the damage had been done There are still a few real world animals in the Pokémon universe: Fishes, Flies, Dogs &Elephants (Gastly's Pokédex entry). These are the generations of uninfected animals Meanwhile, the 'infected' ones, Pokémon, keep on mutating The More You Know...
