[SET COMMENTS]
Primarina is a powerful special wallbreaker capable of 2HKOing almost every Pokemon in the tier with its rain-boosted STAB moves. Weather Ball is the primary attack and can still damage Desolate Land users, especially Heatran and Cinderace, which may switch into Primarina. Hydro Pump is a slightly stronger, but less accurate, option that can notably 2HKO Blissey after Stealth Rock. Moonblast nails common Dragon-types like Kommo-o and Garchomp while also dealing strong neutral damage to Water-resistant Pokemon like Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini. Flip Turn pivots out of switch-ins like Blissey into teammates that can take advantage of them such as Terrakion. Maximum Special Attack and Speed EVs help Primarina secure 2HKOs against Pokemon like RegenVest Swampert and outspeed most defensive Pokemon.

Physical attackers such as Zarude and Cinderace can exploit common Primarina switch-ins like Blissey and Ferrothorn, as well as forcing out Pokemon that threaten it like Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu; additionally, they can form a pivot core to better wear down their shared checks. Its Primarina's mediocre Speed tier lets common threats like Zapdos and Zarude revenge kill it, and it appreciates sturdy defensive Pokemon such as Blissey, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight to patch up this weakness. Corviknight provides Defog to prevent entry hazards from chipping Primarina down as it pivots throughout a game; it also acts as a slow pivot to bring Primarina in safely, as do Blissey and Swampert.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Primarina can run a Triage and Calm Mind set to set up and break through teams, but it lacks the immediate power of Primordial Sea and is often outclassed by Tapu Lele. RegenVest is another option to provide slow pivoting to the team, but Swampert's Electric immunity is often better for this role. Psychic is an option to hit Toxapex super effectively, while Scald can be used to burn switch-ins.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Blissey and Chansey**: Blissey has a very low chance to be 2HKOed by Hydro Pump, and Chansey is never 2HKOed, and they can stall out Primarina's moves or pivot to a teammate.

**Water-resistant and Immune Pokemon** Since Water is Primarina's primary STAB type, bulky resistant Pokemon such as Vaporeon and Ferrothorn can scout Primarina and switch out. Pokemon that are outright Water-immune through Water Absorb, like Landorus-T, or Desolate Land, like Volcanion or Moltres, serve as strong checks, but Desolate Land users must take Fire-type Weather Ball fairly well.

**Grass-types**: Grassy Surge and Grassy Glide users such as Zarude and Dhelmise can switch into a rain-boosted Water-type move once and threaten to OHKO with their priority; other offensive Grass-types like Tapu Bulu can also threaten an OHKO, while defensive ones like Ferrothorn can wall Primarina.

Primarina is a powerful special wallbreaker capable of dealing high damage to 2HKOing virtually every Pokemon in the tier with its weather rain-boosted STAB moves. Weather Ball is the primary attack and can still deal heavy damage to Desolate Land users, especially Heatran and Cinderace, such as Heatran that may switch into Primarina worth clarifying, since fatter Desolate land users like Moltres won't take a ton. Hydro Pump is a slightly stronger option and comes at the cost of a lower accuracy but is useful to pressure switch-ins such as Blissey stronger, but less accurate, option that can 2HKO Blissey after Stealth Rock. Moonblast hits common Dragon-types like Kommo-o and Garchomp for super effective damage while also dealing strong neutral damage to Pokemon that resist Water-type attacks like Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini that resist Water-type attacks. Flip Turn pivots out of switch-ins like Blissey and Silvally-Dragon into teammates that can take advantage of it them. Maximum Special Attack and Speed EVs allow Primarina to perform optimally as a wallbreaker secure the as many 2HKOes as possible and outspeed most defensive Pokemon.

Physical attackers such as Zarude and Cinderace can exploit common Primarina switch-ins like Blissey, (comma) as well as force out Pokemon that threaten it like [examples], additionally being able to pivot into checks to damage them for the other; additionally, they can form a pivot core to better wear down their checks. Its mediocre speed Speed tier makes it susceptible to being revenge killed by common threats like Zapdos and Zarude, (comma) and it appreciates sturdy defensive Pokemon such as Blissey, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight to patch up this weakness. Corviknight provides entry hazard control to prevent Primarina from being chipped down by hazards over the course of the game, (comma) while also acting as a slow pivot to allow it safe entry onto the field. Other slow pivots such as Blissey and Swampert offer pivot support and help to maintain its HP. Hazard setters such as Ferrothorn and Heatran can increase Primarina's capacity to break through defensive cores.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Primarina can run a Triage and Calm Mind set to set up and break through teams with its boosted attacks, but this lacks the immediate power of Primordial Sea and is often outclassed by Tapu Lele. RegenVest is another option to provide slow pivoting to team, but Swampert's Electric-immunity is often better.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Blissey and Chansey**: Blissey is capable of avoiding 2HKOs from all of Primarina's attacks and crippling it with Thunder Wave or Toxic. Blissey has a very low chance to be 2HKOed by Hydro Pump, and Chansey is never 2HKOed, and they are capable of stalling out Primarina's moves or pivoting to a teammate.

**Grass-types**: Grassy Surge and Grassy Glide users such as Zarude and Dhelmise can switch into a boosted Water-type move once and threaten to OHKO with their priority, other offensive Grass-types like Tapu Bulu can also threaten an OHKO, while defensive ones like Ferrothorn can wall Primarina.

I would add Water Absorb users, and Fat Desolate Land users like Volcanion and Moltres.

**Water Immunities**: Pokemon that are immune to Primarina's water type attacks either through Water Absorb, like Landorus-T, or Desolate Land users capable of surviving Weather Ball, like Volcanion or Moltres, serve as strong checks.

add a part for water resists : as it is Primarina main stab, Pokemon that can eat a hit and pivote or scout are appreciated (Vaporeon/Ferrothorn/SpDef Pex/SpDef Tapu Fini (not necessarily Full SpDef)
