Aqua Jet (Japanese: アクアジェット Aqua Jet) is a damage-dealing Water-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Aqua Jet inflicts damage, and is an increased priority move. If the target does not use an increased priority move during the round that it is used, Aqua Jet will go first regardless of the user's or target's speed. If the target also uses a move with an increased priority of +1 during the same round that the user uses Aqua Jet, the attack order of the users will be determined normally. If the user is put to sleep or frozen during the round that Aqua Jet is (or attempts to be) used, Aqua Jet's increased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.

It is sure to strike first. The user lunges at the target speed that makes it almost invisible. This move always goes first. PMDTDS Inflicts damage on a target up to 2 tiles away.
