Effect

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 current type(s) 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.
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 cannot 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.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Conversion is a move with 22PP. The user changes its type to match one of its moves, even if already is that type. 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.
