[SET COMMENTS]
Primarina's solid defensive stats paired with an Assault Vest allow it to take hits from even the strongest special attackers in the 1v1 tier, such as Porygon-Z, Sylveon, and Rotom-H. Moonblast hits Dragon-types like Dragapult and non-Choice Band Haxorus, Fighting-types like Kommo-o and Urshifu-S, non-Roseli Berry and Assault Vest variants of Urshifu-R, and most neutral targets such as Porygon-Z. Sparkling Aria deals with Fire-types such as Rotom-H, Salazzle, and non-Passho Berry Volcarona. Aqua Jet is used to finish off Sturdy users like Shell Smash Crustle and Sawk while also being generally useful for weakened foes such as Togekiss to avoid being hit with flinches from Air Slash. Hydro Cannon is useful for KOs that Sparkling Aria just can't quite reach, like bulky Rotom-H and Assault Vest Rhyperior. Energy Ball is useful against Pokemon with a 4x weakness to Grass such as Seismitoad and non-Rindo Berry Gastrodon as well as opposing Primarina. 248 HP EVs and 80 Defense EVs allow Primarina to always survive a Choice Band-boosted Fishious Rend from Adamant Dracovish, while 248 HP EVs along with 140 Special Defense EVs and a Calm nature allow Primarina to reliably survive two Choice Specs-boosted Uproars from Modest Porygon-Z; the rest of the EVs are dumped into Special Attack. Torrent is the preferred ability, as it provides Primarina with situational boosts to its Water-type moves.

Primarina will have issues with specially defensive walls such as Galarian Corsola and Snorlax, as using Assault Vest instead of a damage-boosting item prevents it from breaking down these threats due to their great natural bulk. Thus, Primarina appreciates teammates with stallbreaking capabilities, including Taunt users such as Skarmory, Haxorus, and Urshifu-S. Primarina threatens special attackers and faster Taunt users for Skarmory, bulky Dragon-types for Haxorus, and Fighting- and Fairy-types for Urshifu-S. Primarina also struggles with strong physical moves from many physical attackers in the metagame like Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan and Choice Band Crustle. Physical walls like Avalugg, defensive Rotom-W, and Grassy Seed Rillaboom deal with the aforementioned threats, while Primarina handles threatening Dragon-types like Dragapult and Kommo-o for these Pokemon in return. Despite its type advantage, Primarina can't break through threats such as defensive Arcanine and Kyurem, as Arcanine utilizes Burn Up to rid itself of its Water-type weakness and follows up with Snarl and Morning Sun, while Kyurem can simply PP stall Primarina with the combination of Noble Roar and Roost. Teammates that handle these threats include options such as Urshifu-R and Fling + Swords Dance Haxorus.

Primarina's solid defensive stats paired with an Assault Vest allow it to take hits from even the strongest special attackers in the tier, such as Porygon-Z, and Sylveon, and Rotom-H. and it's great Special Attack allows it to be a threat in return. Sparkling Aria is Primarina's best Water-Type move of choice, OHKOing non bulky super effective targets like Darmanitan-U and dealing Fire-types such as Rotom-H, Volcarona, and Salazzle, and 2HKOing as well as neutral targets like uninvested Porygon-Z. (I just like these examples more.) Moonblast is similarly useful for opponents like Dragapult and Urshifu. standard coverage for Dragon-types such as Dragapult and non-Choice Band Haxorus, and also Fighting-types such as both Urshifu forms and Kommo-o. Aqua Jet is used against opponents at low health after Aria/Moonblast and Sturdy users like non-Choice Band Crustle and Steelix to finish them off. to finish off Sturdy-types such as Shell Smash Crustle and Steelix, whilst also being genurally useful for weakened foes. Energy Ball is useful against quad-weak Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Seismitoad providing they aren't Rindo Berry, and is useful for the mirror Primarina matchup, whilst Hydro Cannon is useful for KO's that Sparkling Aria just can't quite reach, like bulky Rotom-Heat and Assault Vest Rhyperior. Energy Ball is useful against quad-weak Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Seismitoad providing they aren't Rindo Berry, and is useful for the mirror Primarina matchup. (New order, imo you'd want Hydro Cannon more.) 248 HP EVs and 68 Def EVs allow Primarina to survive a Poison Jab from Choice Band Jolly Urshifu, and 248 HP EVs along with 140 SpD EVs and a Calm Nature allow Primarina to reliably survive two Uproars from Choice Specs Modest Porygon-Z, and the rest is dumped into SpA. Alternatively, 12 EVs can be taken from SpA and invested into Def 80 Def EVs can be used to guarantee survival against survive a Fishious Rend from Adamant Choice Band Dracovish.

Primarina will have issues with specially defensive walls such as Corsola-G and Snorlax, as using Assault Vest prevents Primarina from breaking down bulkier threats. which can all but ignore it's attacks due to low investment, and due to Assault Vest not allowing the use of status moves, Encore cannot be used to lock these Pokemon into setup moves. Thus, Primarina appreciates teammates with Taunt/Trick/Encore to help beat these walls, such as Darmanitan-U or Corviknight. stallbreaking capabilities, including Taunt user such as Skarmory and Haxorus, and Trick users such as Porygon-Z and Choice item Rotom-H/W. Darmanitan enjoys Primarina threatening other Water-Types away whilst Corviknight appreciates the coverage of Fire-Type that Primarina provides. (Write this again to accomodate for the new team options.) Primarina also struggles with strong physical STAB moves from many physical attackers in the meta like Choice Band Snorlax and Choice Band Crustle. A physical wall Physical walls such as like Avalugg, defensive Rotom-W, and Grassy Seed Rillaboom Corviknight (Corviknight is not a good example in this meta) would support Primarina well against these Pokemon due to their low speed and inability to OHKO. deal with the aforementioned threats whilst Primarina handles threatening Dragon-types for these Pokemon, such as Dragapult and Kommo-o. These Pokemon enjoy Primarina's positive matchups against the vast majority of special attackers in the tier. Primarina has problems with some Pokemon that it can hit super effectively with STAB, like stall variants of Arcanine/Rotom-Heat/Kyurem which can reduce Primarina's Special Attack or become neutrally effective to it's STAB before it can move. Despite its type advantage, Primarina can't break through threats such as defensive Arcanine and Kyurem, as Arcanine utilizes Burn Up to rid itself of its Water-type weakness and follow up with Snarl and Morning sun, whilst Kyurem can simply PP stall with the combination of Noble Roar and Roost. Teammates that handle these threats include options such as [insert two Pokemon here].

Aqua Jet is used to finish off Sturdy users like Shell Smash Crustle and Choiced (healing berry is only 3% usage on sawk so I think you're okay with just keeping it as sawk for now) Sawk, whilst also being generally useful for weakened foes such as a low health Togekiss to avoid being flinched by Air Slash.

Primarina's solid defensive stats paired with an Assault Vest allow it to take hits from even the strongest special attackers in the tier, such as Porygon-Z, Sylveon and Rotom-H. Moonblast is Primarina's best Fairy-type STAB move for Dragon-types like Dragapult and non-Choice Band Haxorus, Fighting-types like Kommo-o and Urshifu-S, along with non-Roseli Berry or Assault Vest Urshifu-R, and most neutral targets such as Porygon-Z. Sparkling Aria is generally Primarina's best Water-type STAB move, dealing with Fire-types such as Rotom-H, Salazzle, and non-Passho Berry Volcarona. Aqua Jet is used to finish off Sturdy users like Shell Smash Crustle and Sawk, whilst also being generally useful for weakened foes such as a low health Togekiss to avoid being flinched by Air Slash. Hydro Cannon is useful for KO's that Sparkling Aria just can't quite reach, like bulky Rotom-H and Assault Vest Rhyperior. Energy Ball is useful against quad-weak Pokemon such as Seismitoad and non-Rindo Berry Gastrodon, and is also useful for the mirror Primarina matchup. 248 HP EVs and 80 Def EVs allow Primarina to always survive a Fishious Rend from Adamant Choice Band Dracovish, and 248 HP EVs along with 140 SpD EVs and a Calm Nature allow Primarina to reliably survive two Uproars from Choice Specs Modest Porygon-Z, and the rest is dumped into SpA. Torrent is used as the ability as it boosts up Water-type moves when Primarina is low on health.

Torrent, while not immediately useful in any matchups, is the preferred ability as it offers Primarina with situational boosts to its Water-type moves.

Primarina will have issues with specially defensive walls such as Galarian Corsola and Snorlax, as using Assault Vest instead of a damage boosting item prevents Primarina from breaking down these threats due to their great natural bulk. Thus, Primarina appreciates teammates with stallbreaking capabilities, including Taunt users such as Skarmory, Haxorus and Urshifu. Primarina threatens special attackers and faster Taunt users for Skarmory, bulky Dragon-types for Haxorus, and Fighting-types as well as opposing Fairy-types for Urshifu. Primarina also struggles with strong physical moves from many physical attackers in the meta like Choice Band Darmanitan-Galar and Choice Band Crustle. Physical Walls like Avalugg, Defensive Rotom-W and Grassy Seed Rillaboom deal with the aforementioned threats whilst Primarina handles threatening Dragon-types for these Pokemon like Dragapult and Kommo-o.

Primarina

[SET]
name: Assault Vest
move 1: Moonblast
move 2: Sparkling Aria
move 3: Aqua Jet
move 4: Hydro Cannon / Energy Ball
item: Assault Vest
ability: Torrent
nature: Calm
evs: 248 HP / 80 Def / 40 SpA / 140 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]
Primarina's solid defensive stats paired with an Assault Vest allow it to take hits from even the strongest special attackers in the 1v1 tier, such as Porygon-Z, Sylveon, (AC) and Rotom-H. Moonblast is Primarina's best Fairy-type STAB move for Dragon-types like Dragapult and non-Choice Band Haxorus, Fighting-types like Kommo-o and Urshifu-S, along with non-Roseli Berry or Assault Vest Urshifu-R, and most neutral targets such as Porygon-Z. Moonblast hits Dragon-types like Dragapult and non-Choice Band Haxorus, Fighting-types like Kommo-o and Urshifu-S, non-Roseli Berry and Assault Vest variants of Urshifu-R, and most neutral targets such as Porygon-Z. (Condensed this sentence a bit to help with readability) Sparkling Aria is generally Primarina's best Water-type STAB move, dealing deals with Fire-types such as Rotom-H, Salazzle, and non-Passho Berry Volcarona. Aqua Jet is used to finish off Sturdy users like Shell Smash Crustle and Sawk, (RC) whilst while also being generally useful for weakened foes such as a low health Togekiss to avoid being flinched by hit with flinches from Air Slash. Hydro Cannon is useful for KO's KOs that Sparkling Aria just can't quite reach, like bulky Rotom-H and Assault Vest Rhyperior. Energy Ball is useful against quad-weak Pokemon with a 4x weakness to Grass such as Seismitoad and non-Rindo Berry Gastrodon(Remove comma), and is also useful for the mirror as well as opposing Primarina matchup. 248 HP EVs and 80 Def Defense EVs allow Primarina to always survive a Choice Band-boosted Fishious Rend from Adamant Choice Band Dracovish, and while 248 HP EVs along with 140 SpD Special Defense EVs and a Calm nature (Lowercase) allow Primarina to reliably survive two Choice Specs-boosted Uproars from Choice Specs Modest Porygon-Z; (SC) and the rest is of the EVs are dumped into SpA Special Attack. Torrent, while not immediately useful in any matchups, is the preferred ability, (AC) as it offers Primarina with situational boosts to its Water-type moves.

Primarina will have issues with specially defensive walls such as Galarian Corsola and Snorlax, as using Assault Vest instead of a damage-(AH)boosting item prevents Primarina it from breaking down these threats due to their great natural bulk. Thus, Primarina appreciates teammates with stallbreaking capabilities, including Taunt users such as Skarmory, Haxorus, (AC) and Urshifu (Urshifu-S or Urshifu-R? Please specify). Primarina threatens special attackers and faster Taunt users for Skarmory, bulky Dragon-types for Haxorus, and Fighting-types as well as opposing Fighting- and Fairy-types for Urshifu (Specify again here). Primarina also struggles with strong physical moves from many physical attackers in the metagame like Choice Band Darmanitan-Galar Galarian Darmanitan and Choice Band Crustle. Physical walls like Avalugg, defensive Rotom-W, (AC) and Grassy Seed Rillaboom deal with the aforementioned threats, (AC) whilst while Primarina handles threatening Dragon-types like Dragapult and Kommo-o for these Pokemon like Dragapult and Kommo-o in return. Despite its type advantage, Primarina can't break through threats such as defensive Arcanine and Kyurem, as Arcanine utilizes Burn Up to rid itself of its Water-type weakness and follow follows up with Snarl and Morning Sun (Capitalize), whilst while Kyurem can simply PP stall Primarina with the combination of Noble Roar and Roost. Teammates that handle these threats include options such as Unnerve Choice Scarf Fling Swords Dance (Unnerve Choice Scarf Fling Swords Dance is a lot of mentions, can you narrow it down to two perhaps?) Haxorus and Urshifu-R.
