Anyone ever caught it?

I have once in my pokemon crystal :) I didn't have a clue what it was at first, and didn't have the internet in those days (I was only like 12 then) so I asked my friend what was it, and he didn't believe me that my pokemon had it >.< oh well I should him the day after and he said sorry for calling me a lier hehe.

I wish I still had it, I can't remember how but my pokemon crystal crashed like 3 weeks later and I had to re-start the game >.<
 
I got an Areodayctl off the GTS that had it. But I've also had it on Crystal, Ruby and Emerald. I did't know it was that rare then either.

Slightly off topic: I'm twevle and I'm allowed on the internet.
 
No me :p when I read that it's rarer than a shiny pokemon I was amazed :p

I was allowed on the internet, I just never cared much about it then lol. I only started bugging my parents to get the internet when I was like 15 :p
 
I got pokerus only once, in pokemon ruby.
At that time I didn't had internet, but I knew it had to be something good because of what the nurse said at the pokemon center.

Indeed, I had the easiest time ever beating the elite four with my team at that time even thought I didn't use any legendaries.

Since they were very powerful thank to that virus, I decided to call that team "the pokerus".
If you care to know it was composed of Skarmory, Claydol, Haryama, Rydon, Aggron and Swampert.
 
I wish I had it back. I caught it at a really crap time >.< I defeated the elite four, was in Kanto, and defeated pretty much all the gym leaders there >.<

You didn't have internet until you were fifteen ._.

You poor soul.....

Never "caught" it, but I have traded for it and spread it. The chances of aquiring it naturally on your own may be rarer than a shiny, but as a commodity, its value pales in comparison to any shiny Pokemon.
 
LOL I know... I can't imagine life without it now :p

Funny how I used to manage with TV, my nintendo 64 and a gameboy colour :p LOL.
 
My brother was so lucky back in GSC. He got Pokerus, which we didn't have a clue what was at the time, we where 8 and 11. He also got the first shiny, a blue koffing.

Ive never caught it naturaly, got it from A trade. I should have got it by now though. Ive seen 4 shiny Pokemon without the Pokeradar meaning my odds of pokerus must be likely.
 
I've only ever caught one shiny... which was a hoothoot :) Unluckily enough, I hate Hoothoots >.< LOL.

No internet until you were 15? Wow...I couldn't live without the internet when I was ten.

But, back on topic. I never caught pokerus, ever. I'm very envious of all of you people now.

You think that's bad? I haven't caught or a shiny Pokémon or a Pokémon with Pokérus... in my entire experience with the games!
 
I got Pokerus only a few weeks ago, and I spread it to all of my Pokemon so I can keep it forever in the PC.
 
I wish that I have the pokerus. Instead I have a Mewtwo, a shiny Arcanine, a Lugia with Psycho Boost, a Rayquayza (did I spell it right?), and a Charizard with Blast Burn. None of them is as good as the pokerus.
 
Considering how easy it is to get all of those you've mentioned except a Shiny Arcanine......
 
Got it in ruby at the very start of the game, that is my Torchic being infected by a random Ralts. I heard by the time it was bad or whatever, but didn't really care about it and continued playing as normal.

The thing is that I didn't have any idea what it was until I looked it up on the internet. I was surprised at how strange it was to get, especially that early. (and with a Ratls, which are also sightly rare.)

Well, at least now I have 5 pokemon that will have higher stats than normal... If only that happened in emerald and I saved a pokemon in the pc...
 
I got it randomly in diamond while training my butterfree. I'm sure I'll use it to ev train eventually lol.
 
I caught it when battling my Shinx against a tentacruel or seadra in pearl just past the survival area. I have two pokemon in PC with it, Flareon and Camarupt

Go infect a Pokemon you won't use and stick it in a PC box so you can reinfect later for EV training.
