Conversion (Japanese: テクスチャー Texture) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It is one of the signature moves of Porygon's evolutionary line.

Effect

151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: What happens if used by a Pokémon that knows a Shadow move?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation I

Conversion changes the user's type to the target's current type(s). The user's original type(s) are restored once it is switched out, faints, or the current battle ends. This move can be used repeatedly even if the user and target already have the same type(s).

In the summary screen, the user is shown with its original type(s), unaffected by Conversion.

Generations II to IV

Conversion changes the user's type to match the type of one of the user's moves (including Conversion itself). Conversion is unable to copy the type of a move that matches any of the Pokémon's current types. If all moves match any of the Pokémon's current types, Conversion will fail.

Conversion cannot be used on Curse in order to turn into a ???-type Pokémon.

Generation V

Conversion can now be stolen by Snatch.

Conversion can now be used on Curse, which is now a Ghost-type move.

Generations VI and VII

Conversion now changes the user's current type to match the type of the move the user has in its first move slot (even if that move cannot be selected in battle).

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Conversion, the user's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed are raised by one stage each.

Generation VIII

In Versions 1.0 to 1.1.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Conversion could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.2.0, it can be selected and functions as it did in the preceding two generations.
