Pros:

Water + Fairy is a good offensive and defensive combo, which allows her to tank various attacks from fire, water, ice, fighting, bug, dragon and dark, + she has a steel neutrality thanks to water

Her kit is quite interesting, with sound moves + Liquid voice + good fairy stab for the dragons, and even encore, meaning she can catch you off guard if playing dumb

Cons:

Thanks to her slow speed, she can be easily exploitable and or revenged killed by faster mons, especial mention goes to another girl in town, ogerpon-wellspring mask, which basically walls her

thanks to the prominence of ogerpon, amoongus is really common, other mons that can handle her are corviknight, toxapex, tera poison in general, this can make it harder for her to sweep

potential sets

Silent Siren (Primarina) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Voice / Torrent
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Hyper Voice / Surf
- Moonblast
- Psychic Noise

A classic calm mind set but with the new tool of psychic noise, which, combined with tera poison, can use mons like pex and clodsire as complete set up fodder. Since it has noise in the name, it means it's a sound move, so it will be affected by Liquid Voice, if that's not of your liking, torrent + surf will do the goal just fin3. evs are for corv and max longevity

Bitter Sweet Harmony (Primarina) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Voice / Torrent
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Chilling Water
- Alluring Voice
- Ice Beam / Shadow Ball / Psychic Noice
- Encore

idea by Morkal the goat himself, from what I understand, alluring voice is a 80BP fairy move that will 100% confuse a target if he just boosted, which, combined with chilling water, can secure some hilarious trolling, ice beam is for dnite and gliscor, but shadow ball can be used for gholdengo, and psychic noise if you don't wanna be caught lacking vs stall

Freedom Dive (Primarina) (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Liquid Voice / Torrent
Tera Type: Water / Fairy
EVs: 196 HP / 252 SpA / 60 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump / Hyper Voice
- Moonblast
- Ice Beam
- Psychic / Shadow Ball

who needs utility when you have big massive damage, pretty self-explanatory, go psychic or shadow ball on last slot if you hate dengo or stall more

Final thoughts

While not the best Pokémon, or even OU proper, I believe her tool kit + stats make her unique enough to have a niche in the OU tier, and if not respected, she can bust your ears with her voice! thank you all for reading​
 
Best set is this:


Ashirene (Primarina) (F) @ Rocky Helmet / Leftovers / Heavy Duty Boots
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 248 HP / 248 Def / 12 SpD
Tera type: Fairy/Poison
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Flip Turn
- Moonblast

Checks a lot of things with an excellent typing (when Weavile inevitably comes back to OU this will be more relevant) and slowly pivots out to safely bring some fast but frail threat (such as your own Weavile).
