When aPokémon has the Pokérus, it gainsdouble the effort values from battling(i.e., fighting a Magikarp will givetwo Speed EVs, rather than one).Effort points gained from vitamins arenot doubled. The infected Pokémon caninfect other Pokémon with the virusfor a period of about two days.However, the Pokérus timer can bedelayed by several methods includingplacing the infected Pokémon in a PCbox.
