[SET COMMENTS]
* Primarina is one of the strongest Pokemon in 1v1 thanks to its unique typing, important role compression, and variety of sets.
* The combination of Weakness Policy and Charm or Reflect allows Primarina to take care of slower threats that aim to defeat it with their super effective moves, such as Iron Hands with Supercell Slam and Donphan and Ursaluna with Gunk Shot.
* Charm can work multiple times, which can help if Primarina is trying to stall a foe or to get to Torrent range to fire off an extremely strong Hydro Cannon, while Reflect can take care of Clear Amulet Pokemon, an item these Pokemon can run to be a hard counter to the Charm variant.
* Hydro Cannon can KO Ursaluna and Donphan after a boost from Weakness Policy on the former and a Draining Kiss on the latter.
* Draining Kiss and Moonblast can threaten Regidrago and both Urshifu formes, and while Draining Kiss is especially helpful for the Donphan matchup, Moonblast can also be utilized for overall damage against Haxorus and Gouging Fire.
* Calm Mind lets it set up in front of potential threats like Clear Amulet Cresselia.
* Thanks to its huge investment in Speed, Primarina can outrun Ursaluna, Iron Hands, and Donphan while threatening KOs in return, with its Defense and HP maximized for the best rolls against Choice Band Haxorus and Gouging Fire.
* Primarina should be used in teams where its weaknesses to Grass, Electric, and Poison are patched up, so it really likes pairing with Dragon-types like Regidrago and Gouging Fire, Steel-types like Corviknight and Hisuian Goodra, or Psychic-types like Hoopa-U and Iron Crown.

Charm can work multiple times, which can help if you're trying to outstall an opponent
A big thing with Charm is you can use it to try to get specifically into Torrent range against some bulkier mons, since sometimes +2 Hydro isn't enough.

can u double check this mu i think u dont win like check vs av and custap, then edit sentence accordingly.

* This set in particular focuses on taking care of slower threats that aim to take care of Primarina with their super-effective moves, such as Iron Hands with Supercell Slam and Donphan and Ursaluna with Gunk Shot thanks to Charm or Reflect, Charm can work multiple times, which can help if you're trying to outstall an opponent or to get to Torrent range to fire off an extremely strong Hydro Cannon, while Reflect can take care of Clear Amulet Pokemon, which these Pokemon can run to be a hard counter to the Charm variant.
can u reword this into maybe 2 points like
'the combination of weakness policy and charm allows primarina to..."
and then a point of charm and reflect

or just scrap this point and remake it into a charm and reflect point

2/2, gj
