Trivia

• In Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Aqua Ring was shown to deal damage, or at least appeared to be an offensive move, contrary to it being a defensive status move targeting the user in the games.
  • As a defensive move, Aqua Ring appears to have multiple effects as shown in An Amazing Aerial Battle!. It can heal statuses and work like Protect.
