Primarina is a fierce sweeper that can use its STAB moves, combined with Calm Mind, to muscle through most enemies. Primarina can choose between Surf for perfect accuracy or Hydro Pump for greater power that lets it 2HKO Galarian Slowking and Ting-Lu at +1. Substitute lets Primarina grab more Calm Mind boosts while slower Pokemon try to cripple Primarina with a status effect, like Toxic from Clodsire, Thunder Wave from Galarian Slowking, or Salt Cure from Garganacl, as well as easing prediction. It can use Psychic Noise to block healing from defensive Pokemon, including Slack Off from Galarian Slowking, Recover from Clodsire, and Wish from Alomomola, thus making them easier to beat. Encore lets Primarina lock opposing Pokemon into moves they don't care for, which can be especially effective in shutting down Kingambit, forcing switches that can give it more opportunities to boost or attack. As for items, Primarina has good choices as well; its item can be Leftovers to grab more healing and goes well with Substitute, while Heavy-Duty Boots can be used to avoid taking damage from entry hazards. Custap Berry allows Primarina to get one last attack before fainting, which can be useful in luring in and surprising Pokemon that want to use Primarina as momentum. 176 Speed EVs allow Primarina to outspeed Adamant Kingambit. Tera Steel lets Primarina stay in and tank attacks from Grass-, Poison-, and Steel-types and hit them back hard; examples of these moves include Wood Hammer from Rillaboom, Sludge Wave from Iron Moth, and Make It Rain from Gholdengo. Its biggest claim to fame is being able to resist Galarian Slowking's STAB moves, turning one of its worst matchups into a setup opportunity. Tera Poison does similar to Steel, but it lets Primarina resist Fighting-types, like Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, and absorbing Toxic Spikes is a nice addition as well. Finally, Tera Water lets Primarina deal even more damage, which allows it to achieve some thresholds like having great chances to 2HKO Ting-Lu and going from a 4HKO to a 3HKO against Galarian Slowking, both with an unboosted Surf

This Primarina set excels in hyper offensive structures as an early-game monster thanks to its good damage output and Calm Mind, which allow Primarina to destroy Kingambit, Heatran, Zamazenta, Clodsire, and many others. Kingambit loves the fact that Primarina can beat some of its counters like Skarmory, Corviknight, and Dondozo. Kingambit, in return, can beat Galarian Slowking and Blissey. The same applies to Iron Valiant, which appreciates Primarina's ability to counter Fire- and Steel-types such as Volcarona and Gholdengo that can otherwise give it trouble. Thanks to Primarina's good matchup against defensive Ground-types like Clodsire and Ting-Lu, Pokemon like Gholdengo and Raging Bolt appreciate the help sweeping late-game. Ogerpon-W appreciates Primarina's ability to defeat Dragon-types for it. Primarina struggles against Pokemon that can either shut it down fast with super effective moves, like Ogerpon-W and Rillaboom, strong physical offense from the likes of offensive Great Tusk and Gouging Fire, or sturdy special walls such as Galarian Slowking and Blissey. Primarina loves the support from Landorus-T, which can scare away the special walls with Earthquake, absorb Raging Bolt's Electric-type moves, support Primarina with Intimidate, allowing Primarina to take on strong physical offense, gain momentum from U-turn, which Landorus-T can easily obtain from common switch-ins like Gliscor, Alomomola, and Skarmory, and set up entry hazards to nab some good damage thresholds, like greatly improving the chance to 2HKO bulky variants of Gholdengo, Kingambit, and opposing offensive Primarina with unboosted Surf. Iron Treads is another Ground-type that Primarina appreciates for its ability to check Galarian Slowking; it also provides Stealth Rock support, as well as Rapid Spin to clear the field of hazards. Another great partner is Rillaboom, since it also scares away the aforementioned Galarian Slowking and Blissey, as well as Great Tusk, and provides Primarina with extra healing from Grassy Surge. Dragapult is also a good teammate for Primarina because of its ability to check Ogerpon-W, spread status that can help Primarina either tank or outspeed opposing Pokemon more easily, and use U-turn to bring Primarina safely into the battle. Darkrai makes a good pairing due to its ability to beat Galarian Slowking and really appreciates Primarina's ability to beat both Clodsire and Volcarona. Offensive hazard setters like Glimmora, Hisuian Samurott, and Deoxys-S bring hazard pressure that can help Primarina break through walls more easily. Galarian Slowking provides pivoting with Chilly Reception and offensive pressure with Future Sight.

Primarina is a pretty fierce sweeper that can use its STABs combined with Calm Mind to muscle through most enemies. You have choices to make regarding the set, you choose between Surf for higher accuracy or Hydro Pump for greater power, and you can choose your 4th move as well as your item, when it comes to the former, Substitute lets you grab more Calm Mind boosts while your opponent is trying to break through as well as easing prediction, you can use Psychic Noise to block healing from defensive Pokémon, examples are Slack Off from Galarian Slowking, Poison Heal from Gliscor and Moonlight from Clefable, thus, making them easier to beat, while Encore lets you lock opposing Pokémon into useless moves, forcing switches that can give you more the opportunity to boost or attack. (The info in the sentence is mostly good, but there is too much info in just this one sentence. I would split it up into multiple sentences describing each individual move. Remove the portion of the sentence highlighted in red, its unnecessary fluff.) As for, the latter, your item can be Leftovers to grab more healing, which goes well with Substitute. Heavy-Duty Boots to avoid taking damage from entry hazards, or even Custap Berry to get one last attack before dying. (Good info, but again there is too much info in just this one sentence. Separate it into smaller sentences talking about each individual item.) 176 Speed Evs makes you faster than allows Primarina to outspeed Adamant Kingambit,(RC) while the remainer 80 HP Evs secure some bulk. When thinking about Terastalization, Steel lets you stay in versus Grass, Poison, and Steel-types and hit them back hard. Poison does something similar to Steel, but this lets you resist Fighting-types. And finally, Water lets you deal even more damage. (AP) (You should discuss the benefits of each tera type in more detail. Give examples of the Grass and Poison-types Tera Steel help against in particular - like against Galarian Slowking. In what situations does the Damage increase from Tera Water matter?)


This Primarina set excels in Hyper Offensive structures as an early game monster that can swiftly deal with most types in the game thanks to its good damage output + and Calm Mind. Kingambit loves the damage Primarina makes early in the match, making Kingambit's job much easier. (Go more in-depth. Mention how Primarina can exploit certain Kingambit checks like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Dondozo. Also mention how Kingambit does well against Slowking-Galar, one of Primarina's best checks. ) The same goes to Iron Valiant, who likes not having to worry about Fire-types nor Steel-types blocking its Fairy STAB appreciates Primarina's ability to weaken Fire- and Steel-types such as Volcarona and Gholdengo that can otherwise give it trouble. Thanks to its Primarina's good matchup vs against defensive ground types Ground-types like Clodsire and Ting Lu, Pokémon like Gholdengo and Raging Bolt, appreciate the help in sweeping late game. Primarina's counters are mainly those struggles against Pokemon who can either shut it down fast with super effective moves, like Raging Bolt and Rillaboom, strong physical offense from the likes of offensive Great Tusk, Gouging Fire, and Kingambit, and strong special walls such as Galarian Slowking or Blissey. (Pokemon like Raging Bolt and Kingambit don't counter Primarina since they cannot switch in. In Kingambit's case, it can be exploited by Encore.) Primarina loves the support from Landorus-Therian, who can scare away the special walls with Earthquake, absorbing Raging Bolt's electric moves, and can provide support Primarina with a defense boost from Intimidate, momentum from U-turn,(AC) and entry hazards to make it more dangerous. Another great help for the siren partner is Rillaboom also scares away the walls, as well as great tusk Great Tusk and provides Primarina with extra healing from Grassy Surge. Dragapult is also a good pair for Primarina due to his its ability to spread status that can help primarina either tank or outspeed opposing Pokémon easier, and with U-turn on its arsenal as well.(AP) (Mention that Dragapult can check Ogerpon-W, which Primarina has a hard time against.) (Iron Treads should be added as a partner, as it can check Electric-types like Raging Bolt which Primarina can struggle with, check Slowking-Galar, and provide fast Stealth Rock support and Rapid Spin support on more offensive teams. Mention Darkrai as a partner, as it appreciates Primarina's decent match-up into Volcarona, and ability to weaken walls it struggles against such as Clodsire, while also helping Primarina against Slowking-Galar. Mention other hazard setters like Deo-S and Ting-Lu as partners. )

As for the latter, your item can be Leftovers to grab more healing, which goes well with Substitute. (Unclear what you are refering to here when you mention "latter". I'd change this portion to a more generic sentence talking about how Primarina has a wide variety of viable items it can run.) Heavy-Duty Boots can be used to avoid taking damage from entry hazards.

(Remove the highlighted portion. It is redundant in the context of this sentence since Kingambit is mainly appreciating the damage done to its checks.

This Primarina set excels in Hyper Offensive structures as an early game monster thanks to its good damage output and Calm Mind, which allows Primarina to destroy Pokemón ranging from Kingambit, Heatran, Zamazenta, Clodsire and many others. Kingambit loves the fact that Primarina can beat some of Kingambit's counters like Skarmory, Corviknight and Dondozo. Kingambit in return, can beat Galarian Slowking and Blissey.

Primarina struggles against Pokémon who can either shut it down fast with super effective moves, like Ogerpon-Wellspring and Rillaboom, strong physical offense from the likes of offensive Great Tusk and Gouging Fire, and strongsturdy special walls such as Galarian Slowking or Blissey.

Iron Treads is another Ground-type that Primarina loves, due to its ability to check Galarian Slowking, Iron Treads also provides Stealth Rock support, as well as Rapid Spin to clear the field.

Primarina is a fierce sweeper that can use its STABs combined with Calm Mind to muscle through most enemies. Mention what makes CM good + some stuff it sets up on. You have choices to make regarding the set, youPrimarina can removing filler choose between Surf for higher i think its worth replacing higher with perfect accuracy or Hydro Pump for greater power, like 2HKOing Galarian Slowking and Ting LuTing-Lu at +1. Substitute lets Primarina grab more Calm Mind boosts while slower PokémonPokemon try to cripple Primarina with a status effect, like Toxic from Clodsire or Salt Cure from Garganacl add glowking, as well as easing prediction. YouPrimarina can use Psychic Noise to block healing from defensive PokémonPokemon, examples are Slack Off from Galarian Slowking, Poison Heal from Gliscor and Moonlight from Clefable, thus, making them easier to beat clod, bliss, mola. Encore lets Primarina lock opposing PokémonPokemon into useless moves not useless moves, but rather moves prima doesn't care about, forcing switches that can give it more opportunities to boost or attack. As for items goes, you havePrimarina has good choices as well, yourits item can be Leftovers to grab more healing, which goes well with Substitute. Heavy-Duty Boots can be used to avoid taking damage from entry hazards. And Custap Berry allows Primarina to get one last attack before fainting mention that its a lure set. 176 Speed Evs allows Primarina to outspeed Adamant Kingambit. When thinking about Terastalization, Tera Steel lets you stay in versus Grass-, Poison-, and Steel-types add examples and hit them back hard, its biggest claim to fame is being able to resist Galarian Slowking's STABS, turning one of its worst matchups into a settingset up opportunity. Tera Poison does something similar to Steel, but this lets you resist Fighting-types, like Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, and absorbing Toxic Spikes is a nice addition as well. And finally, Water lets Primarina deal even more damage, this allows you to do achieve some thresholds like having great chances to 2HKO Ting Lu with Surf and going from a 4HKO to a 3HKO against Galarian Slowking.

This Primarina set excels in Hyper Offensive structures as an early game monster thanks to its good damage output and Calm Mind, which allows Primarina to destroy Pokemón ranging from Kingambit, Heatran, Zamazenta, Clodsire and many others. Kingambit loves the fact that Primarina can beat some of Kingambit's counters like Skarmory, Corviknight and Dondozo. Kingambit in return, can beat Galarian Slowking and Blissey. The same goes to Iron Valiant, who appreciates Primarina's ability to weaken They don't stay in, change to counter Fire- and Steel-types such as Volcarona and Gholdengo that can otherwise give it trouble. Thanks to Primarina's good matchup against defensive Ground-Types like Clodsire and Ting Lu, Pokémon like Gholdengo and Raging Bolt appreciate the help in sweeping late game. Primarina struggles against Pokémon who can either shut it down fast with super effective moves, like Ogerpon-Wellspring and Rillaboom, strong physical offense from the likes of offensive Great Tusk and Gouging Fire, and strongsturdy special walls such as Galarian Slowking or Blissey. Primarina loves the support from Landorus-Therian, who can scare away the special walls with Earthquake, absorb Raging Bolt's Electric-type moves, and can support Primarina with Intimidate, momentum from U-turn, and entry hazards to make it more dangerous add what lando uturns against, what rocks do for prima, and what intimidate allows it to do. Iron Treads is another Ground-type that Primarina loves, due to its ability to check Galarian Slowking, Iron Treads also provides Stealth Rock support, as well as Rapid Spin to clear the field.
