Conversion Move Detail
Conversion is a Normal-type status move with no power and no accuracy, as it does not deal direct damage. The move's primary effect is to change the user's type to match the type of one of its moves, which can be strategically advantageous in battle. Conversion was introduced in Generation I and is most closely associated with the Pokémon Porygon and its evolutionary line. The move can be used to gain a type advantage or defensive benefits, depending on the user's move set and the opponent's types. While it does not see frequent use in competitive play, Conversion can be a pivotal move in certain strategies, particularly when combined with abilities or other moves that provide further advantage from type changes.
