Conversion

Type Power Accuracy PP Priority Damage Target
Normal - - 30 0 - User

Description

This move changes the user's type into the type of one of its moves, chosen randomly. The user will always change into a different type, and the move fails if all of the user's moves are the same type as the user. Weather Ball and Hidden Power are considered Normal-type moves. Conversion can be stolen by the move Snatch.

Competitive Use

Conversion isn't commonly used in competitive play because it is inconsistent and ineffective. You may not change into the type you wanted, and nothing stops your opponent from switching to a different counter based on the type you turned into.

Related Moves

Conversion2 is the other signature move of the Porygon line. It changes the user's type into one that is either immune to or resists the last move that damaged the user.
