[SET]
Sheer Force (Primarina) @ Life Orb

EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Modest Nature
- Moonblast
- Sparkling Aria
- Energy Ball
- Psychic / Calm Mind

[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its high Special Attack stat improved further by Sheer Force + Life Orb, solid coverage options, and access to Calm Mind, Primarina acts as a threatening wallbreaker and possible bulky sweeper. Energy Ball allows Primarina to nail Swampert and Manaphy. Psychic OHKOes Pecharunt and Desolate Land Iron Moth, while Calm Mind allows Primarina to OHKO Kingambit and RegenVest Iron Hands at +1. Teammates such as Gholdengo and Azelf appreciate Primarina's ability to handle both Swampert and Manaphy, as they tend to be troublesome for them. Primarina is also appreciated for being able to soft check Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao a couple times, which can relieve some pressure off of Great Tusk and Manaphy. Primarina's Water / Fairy typing allows it to hit almost all Pokemon neutrally while also being able to hit special walls like Roaring Moon, Ting-Lu, and Iron Treads super effectively. Primarina tends to struggle against many Steel-type Pokemon, precisely Heatran, Empoleon, and Hisuian Goodra, so teammates that can deal with them like Great Tusk and Roaring Moon tend to be good partners. Primarina also struggles to safely switch in on many physical attackers, so slow, physically defensive pivots like Corviknight and Mandibuzz are good teammates. Entry hazard chip quickly wears down Primarina, so hazard removal options such as Great Tusk and the aforementioned Corviknight and Mandibuzz are quite valuable.

Thanks to its high Special Attack stat improved further by Sheer Force + Life Orb, solid coverage options, and access to Calm Mind, Primarina acts as a threatening wallbreaker and possible sweeper. Energy Ball is a coverage option that allows Primarina to nail Swampert and Manaphy. Psychic OHKOes Pecharunt and Desolate Land Iron Moth, while Calm Mind allows Primarina to OHKO Kingambit and RegenVest Iron Hands at +1. A Modest nature is used to OHKO Gholdengo, as well as 2HKO Manaphy after Stealth Rock, while a Timid Nature allows Primarina to outspeed Fluffy Landorus-T and bulky Zapdos. After some talk with QC we came to the conclusion there isn't any value in running Timid over Modest, so removing Teammates such as Gholdengo and Zapdos Change to something that preferrably struggles against both Swampert and Manaphy to avoid confusion appreciate Primarina's ability to handle both Swampert and Manaphy, as they tend to be troublesome for Gholdengo and Zapdos. Primarina tends to struggle against many Steel-type Pokemon, precisely Heatran, Bulletproof Empoleon, and Hisuian Goodra, so teammates who can deal with them like Sandy Shocks and Superpower Deoxys-S While these aren't bad examples by any means, it would be better to use more obvious examples to show newer player what offensive cores work well, so replace these with some strong physical attackers instead to make that point clearer tend to be good partners. Primarina struggles to safely switch in on many physical attackers, so slow physically defensive pivots like Corviknight and Mandibuzz make for great partners. Entry hazard chip quickly wears down Primarina, so hazard removal options such as Great Tusk and the aforementioned Corviknight and Mandibuzz are an absolute necessity. An absolute necessity is a bit hyperbolic considering it isn't even weak to Rocks, maybe just reword to say it's appreciated or something similar.

Entry hazard chip quickly wears down Primarina, so hazard removal options such as Great Tusk and the aforementioned Corviknight and Mandibuzz are quite valuable. I would add that relative to other wallbreakers, it's appreciated for its ability to soft check Moon and Pao once or twice and the excellenct coverage that Water / Fairy offers into the meta
