Since I am a compulsive saver, I have a save to right before I talk to the nurse in White 2. I wish I had means of taking a video.

It still has the virus. It just can't infect anyone with it.

Not upset, I'm just wondering because everywhere I've checked everyone says you can't catch pokerus more than twice on the same pokemon. I got it 3 times on the same pokemon. Funny thing is, it does not spread pokerus, still has that face thing meaning it was cured, and does not have the pokerus status.

There's a difference between having a non-contagious infection and not having an infection at all. A non-contagious Pokémon is still infected.

she probably only tested for the antibodies, which can be found during the infection and stay after it has been cured, pretty sure it's "easier" than testing for the actual virus.

Even if it's cured it still has the virus. She's just reminding you that your Starmie has had it

Except that has never happened any other time. All of my party that was transferred alone with Starmie also had pokerus, the same time Starmie got it in Pt.

>>12995428
I know that, but for the nurse to tell me after having that Starmie in game for a while that it caught something, that's very strange.

>mfw pokérus itself has no effect and it's actually the antibodies that cause the rapid stat gains, like some kind of bizarro version of the common cold on steroids

Along* with starmie. To add to that, none of the other party tests positive for pokerus again when checked with the nurse, since I have a game save and boxed everything. Just Starmie.

Have you noticed the little black dot that replaces the PokéRus status? That means it's cured, and immune to the virus. I guess the NPC's can't tell the difference.

Maybe I should explain myself better, since there is come confusion.

>Transfer over pokemon from Pt to SS, entire party cured of pokerus with the little face thing.
>Play for a while, use pokemon center often.
>One day nurse tells me a pokemon caught pokerus again.
>Since I saved before healing, reloaded save and boxed pokemon one by one until I found it was starmie who caught it again
>Whatever, keep playing
>White comes out
>Transfer to white
>no pokerus
>White 2
>Transfer to white
>Play on white 2 normally, using pokemon centers, until yesterday when starmie catches pokerus again.

No you idiot. It always had the pokemon always had pokerus, even after it's cured it still has it. It just can't infect any other pokemon with it.

Yes but has a nurse ever told you that a pokemon that has the smiley thing caught it again?

The nurse will only ever inform you about Pokérus ONCE, the FIRST TIME you visit them with a Pokémon that has Pokérus (EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN CURED, THEY STILL COUNT AS HAVING POKéRUS). If your transfer a Pokémon to another version (EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN SINCE CURED) the Nurse on that version will inform you about Pokérus ONCE because that is the FIRST TIME on that version a Pokémon with Pokérus has been taken to a Pokémon Center.

What don't you understand by I've been playing the game for a while, using the pokemon center to cure that same damn starmie many times, and it never brought up the message until yesterday?

And no I didn't just transfer it over to W2, I used it to help EV train low level pokemon. I've healed it many times before.
