With Calm Mind, Primarina turns into a great option for Water teams against Fighting and Dragon teams, being able to threaten the likes of Iron Defense Zamazenta and Hydreigon. When running Liquid Voice, Psychic Noise turns into Primarina's main Water-type STAB move, while running Torrent makes it great coverage against Clodsire. Draining Kiss is Primarina's main source of longevity, being especially effective against the aforementioned Fighting- and Dragon-types. When running Liquid Voice, Primarina can run Ice Beam to threaten Garchomp, Gliscor, and both Landorus formes. Surf is the better option for Primarina when it chooses to run Torrent so it has a stronger Water-type STAB attack. Alternatively, Encore can be used to take advantage of slower walls like Ting-Lu by locking them into an undesirable move. 60 Speed EVs allow Primarina to outspeed Corviknight and some Ursaluna-B variants.
Primarina struggles against Poison-types such as Alolan Muk and Sneasler; therefore, it appreciates teammates such as Swampert and Gastrodon to check them. The two of them also provide an Electric immunity and entry hazard support. Toxapex absorbs Toxic Spikes while dealing with Grass-types that Primarina struggles with such as Meowscarada and the Ogerpon formes. In return, Primarina deals with some of Toxapex's checks like Great Tusk and Ursaluna-B. Keldeo and Urshifu-R are great offensive teammates that can muscle through Steel-types such as Archaludon, Hisuian Goodra, and Kingambit. Primarina deals with Iron Valiant in return. Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott handles Ghost-types like Gholdengo, Dragapult, and Spectrier, and in return, Primarina threatens Fighting-types like Zamazenta, Urshifu-R, and Keldeo. Choice Specs Greninja handles threats that Primarina struggles against, such as the Ogerpon formes, opposing Primarina, Amoonguss, and Okidogi. Ogerpon-W pairs well offensively with Primarina, handling Landorus, Ursaluna-B, and Iron Treads, while Primarina deals with various Fighting-, Dragon-, and Dark-types like Urshifu-R, Roaring Moon, and Sableye.
