Serene Grace will double the chance of a move having an [[additional effect]]. For example, {{m|Psychic}} will have a 20% chance of lowering the target's {{stat|Special Defense}} stat instead of its usual 10% chance, and {{m|Rock Smash}} will always lower an opponent's {{stat|Defense}} by 1 level, as opposed to having a 50% chance of doing so.
Serene Grace has no effect on [[status move]]s.

Serene Grace is cumulative with the rainbow produced by using {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Water Pledge}} on the same turn (causing secondary effect probabilities to be multiplied by 4 if both modifiers are present), except that moves with a chance to flinch will only have that chance doubled once. Due to the way certain secondary effects are handled, this can lead to an [[Charge Beam additional effect chance glitch|overflow glitch]].

From Generation V until [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] (except Abilities are unavailable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]), if the user has Serene Grace and uses {{m|Charge Beam}} while its side is under the effect of the rainbow from the combination of {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Water Pledge}}, the additional effect chance for Charge Beam will [[Charge Beam additional effect chance glitch|overflow]] and become 24%.


Serene Grace does not increase the probabilities for additional effects of {{m|G-Max Replenish}} or {{m|G-Max Snooze}}.
