Choice Specs (Primarina) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Liquid Voice / Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 24 SpA / 72 SpD
Modest Nature
- Hydro Cannon
- Moonblast
- Energy Ball
- Uproar / Psychic Noise

[SET COMMENTS]
* Hydro Cannon is Primarina's strongest attack and should be used against both Landorus formes, non-Custap Berry Skeledirge, and non-Substitute Volcarona.
* Moonblast defeats Regidrago, Haxorus, and Garchomp.
* Energy Ball should be used against Rhyperior and is Primarina's best way to deal with non-Sap Sipper Azumarill.
* Liquid Voice + Uproar makes Primarina defeat Registeel and gives it an option to defeat Custap Berry Skeledirge and Substitute Volcarona, while Psychic Noise + Torrent allows it to beat Whimsicott reliably and makes it more consistent agaisnt bulkier Choice Specs Hoopa sets, as Moonblast does not always OHKO them.
* The HP and Defense EVs allow Primarina to survive Earthquake from Choice Band Landorus-T, while the Special Defense EVs allow it to survive Sludge Wave from Timid Choice Specs Landorus.
* Choice Specs Primarina, unlike other Primarina sets, loses to Encore + Disable Iron Valiant sets, so it is important to use a teammate that can defeat the aforementioned sets.

Click to expand...
Put Uproar before Psychic Noise and swap the abilities, and mention that Liquid Voice Uproar can be used against a lot of things like Substitute Volcarona and Custap Dirge so you don't have to solely rely on Hydro Cannon.
