Aqua Ring at a glance

What Aqua Ring does

Aqua Ring is a Water-type buff move. Deals no damage: builds health regeneration.

A Pokemon can learn it if it is Water-type, which is true of 149 of the 966 Pokemon. It reaches you as a new-move card when you level up, as long as one of your four move slots is free. No Pokemon begins a run with it, so you only find it on level-up cards. Each level-up draws three cards by weight from up to six new-move candidates, your move upgrades and the stat cards, so even a good move can sit out several level-ups.

Aqua Ring stats by level

Aqua Ring adds one stack every 0.9 seconds while it is in your active slot, up to 4 stacks at level 1 and 6 at level 5. Each cast refreshes the timer, so the stacks last 8 s at level 1 and 12 s at level 5 after the last cast and then drop together.

Full stacks take 3.6 seconds at level 1 and 5.4 seconds at level 5, and they stay full for as long as the move keeps firing. Each stack adds 3.1 HP per second to your regeneration, so 6 stacks heal 18.8 HP per second on top of Synthesis cards.

Aqua Ring level-up changes

Each level-up card for Aqua Ring applies the changes below. They stack, so the level 5 row above already includes all of them.

• Level 2: +1 stack

• Level 5: +1 stack, +40% effect per stack

Does Aqua Ring evolve?

How to use Aqua Ring

• Buff moves do not need a target: Aqua Ring fires on its cooldown wherever you are.
• Other buff moves are Swords Dance, Agility, and Harden. The moves list compares all 64.
• Buff moves take one of your four slots and deal no damage. The game stops offering buff moves once you carry two, so a third one never crowds out your attacks.
• Only the moves in your active slot fire, so a buff in a slot you are not using adds no stacks. A bond, which a rift win gives you, fuses loose moves into one group that fires together, each with its own cooldown, so a buff can share a slot with an attack.
