How does Pokerus work when Poketransferred? (read question desc)?

Aug. 7, 2014

If a Pokemon with pokerus on a black/white cartridge had one day of pokerus left and it was transfered to x/y, would the amount of time pokerus has remaining stay the same?

For example, if you had a pokerus caterpie in black/white and you used up 6 out of 7 days of pokerus (since pokerus takes about a day to wear off) If you transfered that caterpie, would you have 1 day of pokerus left still, or would it reset?

I know this seems like an obvious question, but you never know.

OK, here’s the thing:

Pokerus does not have fixed hours of stay, rather,if the Pokemon is in the party when the clock strikes 0:00, the disease will fade away.

So coming to the question, if the Caterpie you say has been transfered over to your game and the time in the DS clock is 0:00, it will go away. If not, Pokerus stays. It does not depend on how many hours it has stayed.
