PKRS = PokeRus. Do you know what PokeRus is??

Answer 1

PKRS is an acronym for 'Pokemon Virus', or PokeRus for short. It is a disease that may look bad, but is actually a good thing. You can catch PKRS off wild Pokemon, though there is a very low chance of that happening. The person you got the Pokemon off must have been lucky enough to ecounted a Pokemon with this status and caught the status off it.

This happened to me unexpectedly in Pokemon White. I had just beaten the normal type gym, then i went to the pokemon centre, and i was told my team was infected with pokerus. I was very suprised.
