ok,guys, I have a pokemon question. I just got a palkia from the GTS, and it's kinda weird. First off lext to its level in the summary screen it has a purple rectangular box that says PKRS. Secondly, it says it was "apparently met at level 47" yet I got it at lvl 100. help someone.

GTS is all hacked Pokemon. I advise you to get your own legit ones. Also PKRS is a good infection for Pokemon. It raises there stats in which case can help you if you ev train.

stupid japanese hackers, anyway infection? I'm new to the whole pokemon thing.

Aperrantly met means how the original trainer got it.

Pokerus pretty much boosts the pokemons stats from leveling up
Eventually goes away

The "virus" permanently doubles all the EVs the pokemon gains. Very helpful when EV training. After keeping the pokemon in your party for 24 hours, the condition goes away and you get a small symbol by the Pokemon picture. You still gain double EVs with this little symbol (it stays there forever) but unless the pokemon is still infected you can't pass Pokerus to other pokemon.

ok, guys I have a question about EV training, you only get the EV's from wild pokemon, right?

This may be a noob question but what does EV stand for?

I'm going to write a guide about it when I get back from York (17th or 18th) because so many people are asking what it is.
