What it does

No additional effect.

At 40 base power it is the 35th strongest of the 42 damaging physical moves that appear in this format, and it moves at priority +1, before anything at +0 or below.

Who carrys it

13 of the 282 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder carry Aqua Jet. The one that matters most is Basculegion, which is on 30.2% of teams and carrys it on 96.6% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

What it hits

As a Water move it is super effective against Fire, Ground and Rock, resisted by Dragon, Grass and Water. 8 other Water moves appear in this format: Wave Crash, Flip Turn, Life Dew, Liquidation, Muddy Water, Rain Dance and others.

Who could and does not

19 Pokémon legal in this regulation can learn Aqua Jet at all, against the 13 that actually bring it. The gap is the interesting number: it is the set of Pokémon that have the option and decline it. The most-played of those are Dragonite, Overqwil, Empoleon, Clawitzer and Qwilfish — each of them measured on the ladder, each of them leaving this move on the shelf.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Aqua Jet accounts for an expected 0.31 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 18th most-brought of the 126 moves this format runs. 95% of that comes from Basculegion alone, so it is really one Pokémon’s move rather than the format’s. Its carriers are mostly Water (12), Ghost (2) and Fairy (2).

Where these numbers come from

Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.
