Effects
Conversion changes the user's type to the same type as the first move in the Pokémon's move list.
For example, if the Pokémon has the moves Psybeam, Discharge, Recover and Conversion in that order, Conversion will change the user's type to Psychic.
Changes
- In Generation 1, Conversion changes the user's type to the target Pokémon's type.
- In Generations 2-4, Conversion changes the user's type to the type of any one of its moves randomly. It also cannot be used on Curse as it is the ??? type.
Z-Move effects
When a Pokémon is holding Normalium Z and uses its Z-Power, Conversion turns into Z-Conversion and raises all stats one stage each, in addition to its usual effect as above.
