Zombie Status Effective Leveling Query?

Ok, i'm a bit of an OCD freak when it come to final fantasy games. I like all my characters to be the same level, have all there abilities, the whole 99 items and everything. So, i'm gonna get all my characters to 60 before i go to Ipsen Castle, At the moment there something like this.

Zidane - 58
Quina - 55
Eiko - 50
Freya - 50
Vivi - 47
Garnet - 45
Stiener - 37
Amarant - 38

I came upon the zombie status trick thing (Whatever ya wanna call it) Were if 3 party members are effected all the available EXP from the battle goes to the 4th. Anyway, the enemy for my area that i could find was the dragon zombie in the Lifa tree, but he only hits one character at a time with it, it also seems to like casting it over and over again on garnet!?!? I was wondering if there was another enemy in the game at this point that can give your party this status effect, I've heard chimera's on disk 4 can give it you, but are there any others that can hit ur entire party with it in one go?

quote Lovedove

If you are inflicted with "virus" your characters will also not receive any experience points. Therefore, I suggest that if you cannot find a lot of enemies that cast zombie try looking for ones that use virus. On disk 4 the Yans on Vile Island cast virus powder which will help you with what you are trying to do here. ^^

Damn......i thought something was going wrong when auto-regen was kicking my ass!!! Suicidal characters for the win 0_o

thanks for clearing that little incorrectly cast status effect. lol

Well, I believe zombie disables EXP and CP gain while virus only disables EXP. I could be wrong though. ^^;;
