Conquer Incarnate Enamorus in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

Incarnate Enamorus, a formidable Fairy/Flying-type 5-Star Raid boss in Pokémon GO, demands a strategic approach. This guide details its weaknesses, resistances, and the best counters to ensure a successful raid.

Incarnate Enamorus: Weaknesses and Resistances

Incarnate Enamorus is weak to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness). Conversely, it resists Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fighting, and Ground-type moves (39-63% damage reduction).

Enamorus's diverse moveset (including Dazzling Gleam, Fly, Zen Headbutt, and Grass Knot) limits effective counter choices. While many types exploit weaknesses, the lack of Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB) significantly reduces damage output for non-optimal type matchups.

Consider secondary typing when selecting counters. Avoid Pokémon weak to Enamorus's moves.

Raid Strategy

Assemble a team of at least four high-level players using the recommended counters. Time is limited, so preparation is key. Shadow Pokémon offer a significant attack boost but reduced defense; use them cautiously.
