Effect
In battle
Shield Dust negates all possible side-effects whose probability would be boosted by Serene Grace; any side-effect would be stopped. It also blocks moves that have a 100% probability of the side effect occurring so are not boosted by Serene Grace, such as DynamicPunch. For example, Body Slam would only deal damage and not have its usual 30% chance of causing Paralysis. It does not stop moves that only cause these effects, like Thunder Wave.
Outside of battle
Shield Dust has no effect outside of battle.

Trivia
- Shield Dust essentially prevents the Pokémon from being frozen in battle, as the Freeze status ailment is always caused as a secondary effect of an opponent's move, and the status cannot be passed to another Pokémon via Baton Pass or Synchronize.
