You can activate the activated ability that prevents damage any time, even if no source seems likely to deal damage to you in the near future. It will prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt this turn, even if that turns out to be much later in the turn.

If damage that would be dealt to Rock Hydra can't be prevented, you still remove a +1/+1 counter from it for each 1 damage dealt.
