Primarina's great Special Attack and Special Defense, along with the wide variety of moves available to it and its decent defensive typing of Water / Fairy, allow it to be a potent threat in the metagame. Hydro Cannon, boosted with Choice Specs, can OHKO many threats such as Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan, physically defensive Corviknight, Incineroar, and Arcanine. Sparkling Aria is a less powerful alternate to Hydro Cannon, with its main upsides being that it doesn't have a recharge turn and can go through Substitutes. Sparkling Aria can take down the likes of Aegislash and Cinderace for Primarina. Moonblast is Primarina's most powerful Fairy-type move and is used to cover Dragon-types like non-Disable Dragapult, Dracovish, Haxorus, and Hydreigon. Energy Ball is a coverage move for Primarina which allows it to take on opposing Water-types for Primarina, such as non-Choice Specs Primarina, non-Thunderbolt stall Rotom-W, and Gastrodon. 248 HP and 144 Defense EVs allow Primarina to take an Poison Jab from Choice Band Haxorus, while the 4 Special Defense combined with the aforementioned HP gives Primarina the bulk to take an Energy Ball from Choice Specs Chandelure and retaliate with Sparkling Aria.
Bulky Pokemon with Mirror Coat like Milotic and Avalugg take out Primarina with ease, so teammates that can counteract those Pokemon like Sylveon and Taunt Whimsicott make good partners for Primarina. In return for these teammates, Primarina can take down Steel-types that these are weak to like Corviknight and Excadrill. Primarina is also stopped in its tracks by Grass-types like Celebi, Ferrothorn, Rillaboom, Venusaur, and Whimsicott, so Fire-types like Arcanine and Cinderace can make good partners for Primarina, also allowing there to be a potential Fire / Water / Grass core. In return, Primarina can take out Water-types with its Energy Ball, such as Blastoise, non-Choice Specs Primarina, and Gastrodon. Primarina also loses Electric-types like Zeraora, Dracozolt, and Toxtricity, so Ground-types like Rhyperior and Choice Scarf Diggersby and Pokemon with Ground-type coverage like Conkeldurr and Choice Scarf Haxorus make good teammates for Primarina. In return, Primarina can take on Pokemon for the Ground-types like Blastoise, non-Choice Specs Primarina, Gastrodon, and Galarian Darmanitan. Stall Pokemon that can take advantage of Primarina like Galarian Corsola and Type: Null pose a threat to it, so wallbreakers like Taunt Corviknight and Incineroar are good teammates for Primarina. In return, Primarina can take down Choice Band Dracovish, Choice Scarf Rotom-H, and Keldeo for these teammates.
