I'VE GOT POKÉRUS AGAIN!!!

Remember before when I documented the first time I encountered the rare EV-raising disease known as Pokérus? 

Well, Shelly and I are playing through Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver again - this time we're only playing it together - quite easy to do, seeing as how we live together now - and last time I contacted Pokérus.

Well, I was having a faff around on Pokémon Sapphire, catching some stuff to trade into mine and Shelly's games via the Pal Park feature. As you can see, I have found something again...

I'm bloody annoyed. I've always wanted to catch a shiny Pokémon. For those who don't know, the odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon are 1 in 8192. The odds of catching Pokérus, which by the way, doesn't just appear in battle like a shiny Pokémon does - you need to defeat or capture a wild Pokémon to get it - running doesn't work (hence the reason I never run) - the odds are 1 in 21,845.

I've caught Pokérus TWICE, on two different games - and NEVER found a shiny!

Of course, the poxy red Gyarados doesn't count...
