Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah, no. Since we're going by the "ideal nature, level 100 via rare candies and nothing else" rule, Primarina beats Incineroar with ease. She matches him in speed (60), loses to him in attack and defense (74 attack and defense to his 115 attack and 90 defense), and absolutely DESTROYS him in terms of special (126 sp.atk and 116 sp.def to his 80 sp.atk and 90 sp.def. Doesn't sound like too big a difference, but that's before including super effective and STAB multipliers).

>"Most of her attacks require her voice"

Yeah, all 3. Here's the moves she learns by leveling up: She was pretty much built solely to combat incineroar. Now, I'm picking on him the most because his win was anything but deserved and Primarina got the shaft WAAAAAAAAY too early on. Ad I can here you say "But that's just stats! it does't account for battle behavior!" Well fine. In battle (source: the anime), Incineroar prefers to brute force everything. Primarina attacks from a distance and pelts the foe with attacks they're weak to. Meanwhile  Decidueye prefers to keep to the shadows and hit his opponent's blind spots. He's most likely to win this fight, with Primarina taking home the silver. As proof, let's pull up Decidueyes stats and move pool.

There. That should be enough proof.
