Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Electric moves are bad against Ground.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
Poison moves are bad against Steel.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Primarina is: Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Water or Fairy ) could also prove helpful.

Special Sweeper Primarina (Liquid Voice)
Primarina is an interesting Special Sweeper for single battles. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Throat Spray activates when a Pokemon uses a sound-based move (in this case Sparkling Aria) and raises Primarina's special attack stat by 2 stages. Life Orb boosts the power of Primarina's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Liquid Voice, Primarina's sound-based moves become water type.
◆ Moonblast is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Fairy-type move (30% chance to lower the target's special attack by 1 stage).
◆ Sparkling Aria is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Water-type move (the target is cured of its burn).
◆ Surf is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Water-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. Double damage on dive).
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Rock-type move).
◆ Psychic is a special 90-base power Psychic-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage).
