If the user has {{a|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 overflow and become 24%: <math inline="yes">\left ( 70 \times 4 \right ) \bmod 256 = 24</math>.<ref>[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/post-9076566 Post by Sasa to Sword & Shield Battle Mechanics Research on Smogon Forums]</ref> | If the user has {{a|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 overflow and become 24%: <math inline="yes">\left ( 70 \times 4 \right ) \bmod 256 = 24</math>.<ref>[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/post-9076566 Post by Sasa to Sword & Shield Battle Mechanics Research on Smogon Forums]</ref> | ||
This overflow can occur with any move with a base additional effect chance between 64% and 88% that does not inflict [[status condition]]s because for them, a different data type is used to store the additional effect chance (16-bit signed integer), and if it does not cause [[flinch]]ing because | This overflow can occur with any move with a base additional effect chance between 64% and 88% that does not inflict [[status condition]]s because for them, a different data type is used to store the additional effect chance (16-bit signed integer), and if it does not cause [[flinch]]ing because the rainbow and Serene Grace doubling does not stack specifically for flinching. Charge Beam is the only move that satisfies this criterion. | ||
The overflow still occurs for moves with a chance of an additional effect chance greater than 88%, e.g. {{m|Mud Shot}}, with the additional effect chance becoming <math inline="yes">\left ( 100 \times 4 \right ) \bmod 256 = 144</math>. However, because 144 is greater than 100, there is no noticeable difference. | The overflow still occurs for moves with a chance of an additional effect chance greater than 88%, e.g. {{m|Mud Shot}}, with the additional effect chance becoming <math inline="yes">\left ( 100 \times 4 \right ) \bmod 256 = 144</math>.
