I got curious about this question (and despite it being old, it hadn't been answered), so I decided to do a little testing in Black. As of Generation V, EVERY move, INCLUDING the now Ghost-Type Curse can be "targeted" by Conversion. I specifically tested Curse, Agility, Sunny Day and Trick Room. *goes to edit how it works in Generation V* [[User:RiverShock|RiverShock]] ([[User talk:RiverShock|talk]]) 16:01, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

STAB Question

Does anyone know if the pokémon then gets STAB with the new type(s) or do they only get STAB for their original type(s)? White Phoenix 02:24, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

What if Smeargle knows both Conversion and Curse?

Curse is known as a ???-type move. Can Conversion turn a Pokemon into ???-type? - unsigned comment from Bbbbbbbbba (talkcontribs)

No. It'll fail.--ForceFire 09:34, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
They would have known to program for the situation as far back as Generation II, where Porygon and Porygon2 could learn Curse by TM...--Shiningpikablu252 14:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
According to Smogon University, Curse is the only move that cannot be selected by Conversion. White Phoenix 23:59, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

What moves are recognised by Conversion?

What moves does conversion recognise? I know if a Pokemon has Worry Seed, it will turn into a Grass-type. However, I've tried using the weather moves (Rain Dance, etc), and conversion never selects them. So cloud it be that only moves that target the opponent that are selected?
