This primarina set allows volcarona to get the most setup opportunities as possible, while being offensively powerful to allow volc to cleanup lategame. The evs are put mostly into special attack in order for primarina to deal as much damage as possible, while also outspeeding non jolly gambit, with the rest into hp for extra bulk. The fairy stab can either be moonblast for more damage or draining kiss for more longevity. Calm mind allows primarina to snowball effectively.
The three main innovations are liquid voice psychic noise, encore and tera ghost. Liquid voice psychic noise is a good stab option that allows primarina to help wear down specially defensive mons such as blissey that may prevent a sweep from both volc and prim. Encore isn't an uncommon move on prim, but for this set it means any mons that use a status move that is slow might be locked into it, or for gambit it will be locked into sucker punch. This gives volcarona the ability to switch in and start quiver dancing. Finally, tera ghost makes primarina immune to dragonite e-speed, thus meaning that all priority moves are not very effective against the duo.
