11 of the 277 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder carry Aqua Jet. The one that matters most is Basculegion, which is on 31.5% of teams and carrys it on 96.8% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.
As a Water move it is super effective against Fire, Ground and Rock, resisted by Dragon, Grass and Water. 9 other Water moves appear in this format: Wave Crash, Flip Turn, Life Dew, Scald, Hydro Pump, Muddy Water and others.
19 Pokémon legal in this regulation can learn Aqua Jet at all, against the 11 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, Samurott-Hisui, Blastoise, Overqwil and Empoleon — each of them measured on the ladder, each of them leaving this move on the shelf.
Across the ladder, Aqua Jet accounts for an expected 0.32 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 17th most-brought of the 121 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 (10), Ghost (2) and Fairy (2).
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.
