In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Conversion 2 is a move with 22PP. The user gains {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Conversion 2}} status for 11 turns. If the user is hit by a move, it will turn into a type that has the best matchup against it (even if it's a non-damaging move). The effect will trigger in middle of moves that hit multiple times.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the move now accounts for Weather Ball's actual type (as well as {{m|Natural Gift}}'s).

Conversion 2 (Japanese: テクスチャー2 Texture 2), formatted as Conversion2 prior to Pokémon Stadium 2, is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It is one of the signature moves of Porygon's evolutionary line.
Effect
This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: How does it interact with Struggle prior to Generation IV and Weather Ball in shadowy aura? You can discuss this on the talk page. |
Generations II to III
Conversion 2 will randomly change the user's type to any type that either resists or is immune to the type of the last damaging move it was hit by.
For example, if the last move the user was hit by was an Electric-type move, the user will become Ground-type, Electric-type, Grass-type, or Dragon-type.
If the last move the target used was a move that calls another move (such as Metronome), the type of the called move will be considered. If the last move the target used is a move that changes type (such as Hidden Power), the type it was changed to will be considered.
Conversion 2 targets the user.
Generation IV
Conversion 2 will no longer change the user to any of its current types. It will fail if the user already has all types that resist the type of the last damaging move.
If the last move that hit the user was affected by Normalize, it will be considered as Normal-type. Struggle is considered a Normal-type move, even though it deals typeless damage.
Generations V to VII
Conversion 2 now targets an adjacent Pokémon and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It will randomly change the user's current type to a type that either resists or is immune to the type of the move last used by the target, including status moves. Conversion 2 will not change the user to any of its current types. In an Inverse Battle, Conversion 2 considers resistances based on inverse type matchups.
For example, if the last move the target used was an Electric-type move, the user may become Ground-type, Electric-type, Grass-type, or Dragon-type.
If the last move the target used was a move that calls another move (such as Metronome), the type of the called move will be considered. If the last move the target used is a move that changes type (such as Hidden Power), the type it was changed to will be considered. If the last move the target used had its type changed, such as with Electrify or Normalize, the type it changes to will be considered. Conversion 2 will fail if the last move the target used was Struggle, typeless Revelation Dance, or if there is no type that resists that move (i.e., a Normal-type move in an Inverse Battle).
Conversion 2 is not affected by Substitute, Protect, Detect, or Spiky Shield, but it is blocked by Crafty Shield.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Conversion 2, the user regains all of its HP.
Generation VIII
In Versions 1.0 to 1.1.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Conversion 2 could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.2.0, it can be selected and functions as it did in previous generations.
Generation IX
Conversion 2 cannot be selected in a battle.

In other games
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Conversion 2 is a move with 22PP. The user gains Conversion 2 status for 11 turns. If the user is hit by a move, it will turn into a type that has the best matchup against it (even if it's a non-damaging move). The effect will trigger in middle of moves that hit multiple times. It accounts for the actual type of Hidden Power but not Weather Ball (treating it as Normal-type move). This move is affected by Taunt.
In Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky, the move now accounts for Weather Ball's actual type (as well as Natural Gift's). Although unobtainable without cheating, Judgment is always treated as a Normal-type move.

Trivia
- This move originated as a TCG Attack.
- In Generation III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it targets the user (thus it ignores accuracy and evasion checks).
- Due to the banning of EP038, it's highly unlikely that Conversion 2 will ever be used in the anime at all, as Porygon and its evolutions, the only Pokémon capable of learning this move, have also been banned from the anime as well.
