Swept Clay with my hax Azumarill
My Pignite is languishing because I'm pretty cold on the Gen 5 starters
Question: Is there any way that special Deerling can take advantage of Serene Grace?
Nope, its a really lousy ability for it to have. It has bounce, I guess, with a 60% chance of paralysis? It can't learn headbutt, thunder, body slam, rockslide or iron head, Its no dunsparce or togepi.
It can take energy ball (which is a fairly decent move) and give it a 20% chance of flinch instead of 10, and shadow ball up to 40% of lowering special defense, but the deer doesn't have any access to the natural 30% moves that really benefit from serence grace by becoming 60% moves.
It can use rock smash for a 100% shot at lowered enemy defense, though the power is weak and non-stab.
It does boost king's rock and razor fang from 10% to 20% chance of flinch if you want to throw an item onto it, but mostly no, its not a critter built for serene grace. Serene grace is fantastic on everything else though.
