Smileyface is only there to mark that it has had Pokerus. Pokerus goes away after 24 hours and stops from spreading after that time. Your best bet is to put a Pokemon with Pokerus in the PC and retrieve it when you want to EV train a pokemon.

When it has the smiley face, it still gets the doubling EV effect, it just means that it isn't transferable from that Pokemon any more.

I have Pokies with the virus- I have better luck at getting them with the virus vs being shiny ( I am not that great at chaining)- but if you have a pokie with the virus, keep it in the pc, and take it out to spread. Keep a second one on hand, and over time, replace the original with a new one with the virus. I still have the original Pokie I caught that had the virus from my old Emerald game, what, from 4 years ago(? I think)- and have kept it in the pc. I have three "back up" pokies and I spread the virus using them.

I've caught 4 random shinies in Emerald, 600 hours of play, no Pokerus. But if you don't catch every pokemon that you see, you may miss the one that has Pokerus.

I got legit Pokerus in 2 games (Emerald and Diamond I believe), so I've got some Pokes to infect if you need some... PM me.

This is not the trade thread - please keep trades there.
Now for pokerus, my sister got it sometime between HeartGold's release and tuesday - cuz on wednesday we found out that she HAD it at one point and did not know it;

So while Ev training I don't have too worry if the thing that says pkrs disapears and the smiley face comes?
The first pokemon I ever caught in my Diamond version (a Starly) had PokeRus. Imagine my surprise when I got the message about PokeRus the very first time I ever went to a Pokemon Center...
PokeRus is arguably harder to get than shiny pokemon. They have the same probability of appearing in a wild encounter (about 1 in 8,000), but with a shiny you get the sparkle and alternate colour scheme letting you know you just encountered a shiny - PokeRus has no indicators so you have to be both lucky enough to encounter one and randomly decide to capture that pokemon too!

yea, I don't recall which game I was playing when my poke caught it...but my poke got the Pkrs while battling...when I went to the Poke Center, I got the message...I put in my PC right away and had asked friends of mine, what is this...they were like NO WAY!!!
sweet!!! but yea, I gave plenty of back ups the Pkrs and my OG poke still has Pkrs, not the smiley face like most of my guys that I spread it too...

Reminds me of an EV question: With those berries that lower EV's, why wouldn't it be possible to up a stat more then we already do? As in, train it until it has like 250 EV in a stat, spam berries on it until the EV's for that stat are reduced to zero and train it again for more stat growth? OR is it programmed in the game that no matter how much berries you use on the pokemon, once a stat got lifted by EV, it can't be 'maxed out'?

When the berries take away the EVs, they also take away the stat gain you get from the EVs. Try EVing something in HP, then use a Pomeg Berry on it, you'll see the HP drop.

care to elaborate, Nukada?
If it would lose 2HP from the EV drop, and you started at 1 HP, its HP will drop past 0 and roll over to the max value (65535), kind of like when you get a super high score on a video game and it roles back to 0.
Otherwise, if its the last guy in your party you can knock it out and still walk around.
It would be useless, except that you can send out an egg that way, train up an egg to get level-up moves applied, then hatch it.
Upon hatching all EVs and EXP it gained is removed (sent back to level 5) but it keeps any evolved status (You can hatch a level 5 Dragonite, now you know how Lance did it) and attacks it learned.
