How can aqua jet fail?

Jul. 8, 2016

I used aqua jet on a Pokemon that used protect but rather than say “it protected itself” it said “azumaril used aqua jet but it failed” the next turn I used aqua jet again and it said “but it failed” again and the opponent didn’t even use protect this time as far as I know a move can only “fail” if you, for example, use willow wisp on a poisoned Pokemon but this shouldn’t apply to aqua jet the opposing Pokemon was a rotom wash with thunder bolt willow wisp hydro pump and protect

There is no way for aqua jet to fail unless the opponent is holding an absorb bulb, which when hit by a water move, it raises the targets Special attack, or when the opponent has dry skin, or water absorb as its ability. soon there will be another way for aqua jet to fail, which is a new ability called Dazzling which disables the use of all priority moves like fake out, quick attack, sucker punch, aqua jet et cetera.
