Conquer Incarnate Enamorus in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

Incarnate Enamorus, a formidable Fairy/Flying-type 5-Star Raid boss in Pokémon GO, presents a challenging encounter. This guide details its weaknesses, resistances, and optimal counters to ensure a successful raid.

Incarnate Enamorus: Strengths and Weaknesses

Incarnate Enamorus boasts a dual Fairy/Flying typing, resulting in vulnerabilities to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness). However, it also possesses numerous resistances, including significant reductions in damage from Dark and Grass-type moves (63%), and moderate reductions from Bug, Dragon, Fighting, and Ground-type moves (39%).

Enamorus's diverse moveset, including Fairy-type Dazzling Gleam, Flying-type Fly, and Psychic-type Zen Headbutt, necessitates careful counter selection. Fighting, Dragon, Dark, Bug, and Grass-types are generally inadvisable. Furthermore, its access to Grass Knot as a Charged Attack renders Rock-type and Ground/Water-type Pokémon less effective.
