Can one Baton Pass the type change made by a Conversion? Just curious.

This is quite a tricky question since the only PKMN that learns Conversion can't learn Baton Pass so it is not easy to determine. But since BP gives the PKMN the bonus from Agility, Howl, Defense Curl, and so on, I can't see why it shouldn't do the same with Conversion.

Well Agility, Howl, Defense Curl, etc. work because they are stat changes. Conversion isn't a stat change, so that's why I was wondering. And to get Conversion and Baton Pass on one Pokémon, use Mimic. I would test it myself but I don't have a Porygon(2).

I dunno, I think it would be, since it's a temporary effect anyways. :/

Baton pass passes on stat changes only.
that's the + (and -) stat changes made by certain moves like howl speed boost, etc.
Seeing as conversion isn't a stat change then it wouldn't work.
Some pokemon used some move....
pokemon's attack rose (attack raised by 1 point)
some pokemon used some move....
pokemon's defense sharply rose (defense raised by 2 points)
some pokemon used baton pass
new pokemon recieves stat changes (attack+1 defense+2)
these points are added to the pokemon switched in (the complete stats of the baton passer are not used to replace the new pokemon, just the point additions)
since conversion doesn't work on a point addition/subtraction.... it won't work.

i have another question: can lansat crit-ratio boosts be B-passed? and, if so, does the ratio double each time, so that after 4 boosts (or 3 boosts, holding a scope lens, or 2 holding a lens and using a high crit-ratio move) it's always a CH?
