[SET COMMENTS]
With its great typing and natural bulk, Primarina can pivot into and check several of the tier's prominent threats including Chien-Pao, Roaring Moon, and Walking Wake. Psychic Noise threatens Iron Moth and denies recovery to it and Heatran, which could otherwise block Flip Turn with Desolate Land. Energy Ball hits Water-types like Swampert and opposing Primarina, while Surf provides a spammable Water-type move that also hits Steel-types like Corviknight and Iron Treads. Physical walls like Deoxys-D and Pecharunt appreciate Primarina's ability to switch into Dark-types that threaten them out like Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao; in return, they can check threats like Iron Hands and Ogerpon-H that threaten Primarina. Frail offensive teammates like Deoxys-S, Azelf, and Chien-Pao appreciate Primarina's ability to switch into powerful attackers and safely pivot them in. Electric-types like Zapdos and Hisuian Electrode can easily break past Primarina, making Pokemon that can handle them like Roaring Moon and Volt Absorb Corviknight great teammates. Desolate Land users like Ceruledge, Heatran, and Iron Moth prevent Primarina from pivoting with Flip Turn and can threaten significant damage against it, making teammates that can deal with them like Primordial Sea Barraskewda and Zapdos appreciated. Primarina is also prone to getting worn down by entry hazards, so hazard removers like Corviknight and the aforementioned Great Tusk are good partners; it also forms a great defensive core with them, as it can help check Pokemon that pressure them like Chien-Pao and Roaring Moon, giving them more opportunities to remove hazards.
