Conversion 2 (move)

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: If the user has 2 types, can the user become one of those two types? How does it interact with typeless Revelation Dance? You can discuss this on the talk page.

The picture used in this article is unsatisfactory. Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions. Reason: Should be replaced with Generation VII images

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

Generations II to IV

Conversion 2 will randomly change the user's current type to a type that either resists or is immune to the type of the last damaging move it was hit by. Conversion 2 will not change the user to either of its current types.

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.

Conversion 2 targets the user.

Generation V onwards

Conversion 2 now targets an adjacent Pokémon and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent 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 its current type. 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 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 Nature Power), the type of the called move will be considered. If the last move the target used is a move that can change type, 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 or if there is no type that resists that move (such as 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.
