This is a project I've been meaning to finish for some time now. After digging into the decompiled version of GS, I found the exact moment in which Pokerus is calculated. The game does so right as the battle ends, before Shuckle's Berry Juice calc. (There's no Shuckle Berry Juice to Rare Candy calc by the way)

For this reason, I use the move Pay Day to speed up the bruteforcing considerably. Without it, I'd have to sit through the EXP gains for the battle every time. This took about 14,000 loadstates by my bot.

It is noteworthy that the game will only let Pokerus happen after you step foot in Goldenrod. Otherwise, it will skip this calculation altogether. It is also worth noting that the game will skip the calculation if you already have a Pokemon with Pokerus in your party.

To my knowledge, eggs and starters cannot have Pokerus. This includes the one gift egg you get in Crystal, as it is hardcoded not to have Pokerus.

I plan to replicate such a result in gen 3 next. I read that one of the main Tool Assisted Speedruns did not figure this out-- I look forward to doing so myself.
