Power Weight with Pokerus

Power Belt with Pokerus
Pokerus also works with the Power items. So for the Power Weight, it will multiply the total EVs by two.

For example, if you defeat a wild Skwovet while your Pokemon has the Power Weight and is infected with Pokerus, the final EV yield will be 18 EVs.

Passes HP IV to Child Pokemon

When a Pokemon holding Power Weight is sent to the Daycare and lays an egg, it will pass on its Max HP IVs to its child.
