Primarina is the next singer up in Doubles OU! Primarina's good defensive typing and bulk allow it to setup with Calm Mind, especially when paired with Rillaboom and Incineroar who provide Fake Out support, healing with Grassy Surge, and damage reduction with Intimidate. Tera Dragon allows Primarina to resist Grass-Type attacks from the Ogerpon formes without becoming weak to their Ivy Cudgels. Primarina also appreciates support from Roaring Moon, as it can compensate for Primarina's low Speed by setting Tailwind, remove Assault Vest from Iron Hands with Knock Off, and further reduce foes Attack with Breaking Swipe. In general, Primarina does best into teams without Encore or Taunt users like Alolan Ninetales or Ogerpon-W, as it can easily get one or two Calm Mind boosts and start attacking. Other offensive teammates like Glimmora or Ogerpon-H help to remove problematic Pokemon that can get in the way of Primarina setting up.

Ready for qc at 939 characters, some things I'd like to get another pair of eyes on are specific mons that can overwhelm Prim offensively and a wider range of structures that Prim fits on as I haven't seen it on too many different variations.
