About the Serene Grace ability
Serene Grace is one of 112+ abilities in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Each Pokémon has one active ability at a time, drawn from a list of 1-3 possible abilities per species (the third slot, when present, is the Hidden Ability — only accessible via Tera raids, Mass Outbreaks, or Ability Patch).
Official game text: Boosts the likelihood of additional effects occurring when attacking.
How it works: The chances of a move having a secondary effect is doubled.
How to get a Pokémon with Serene Grace
If Serene Grace is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Serene Grace. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Serene Grace is the Hidden Ability of one of the 1 Pokémon listed above, you'll need either:
- To catch the Pokémon from a 5-star or 6-star Tera raid
- To use an Ability Patch (consumable from picnic crafting / raid rewards) on a Pokémon that already has Serene Grace as a regular ability
- To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
