Enamorus has reappeared in its Incarnate form as one of Pokemon GO's latest 5-Star Raid bosses. Trainers will need to assemble the right team to exploit its vulnerabilities during battle.
Enamorus Raid Battle Guide
Since its debut during the Carnival of Love Valentine's Day event, this formidable Legendary has remained challenging due to its impressive Attack stat. However, its unique dual typing creates exploitable weaknesses for observant trainers.
Incarnate Enamorus Weaknesses & Resistances
As a Fairy/Flying-type, Enamorus takes 160% damage from Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type moves. It resists Dark and Grass-type attacks (63% damage), with even stronger defenses against Bug, Dragon, Fighting, and Ground-type moves (39% damage).
| Pokemon | Type | Weaknesses | Resistances |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incarnate Enamorus | Fairy/Flying | Poison, Steel, Electric, Ice, Rock | Grass (63%), Fighting/Bug/Dragon/Dark (39%) |
Optimal Raid Counters
The most effective counters include Steel, Electric, and Ice-types with STAB moves. Top recommendations feature Raikou, Excadrill, and Articuno with their ideal movesets.
| Pokemon | Fast Move | Charged Move |
|---|---|---|
| Raikou | Thunder Shock | Wild Charge |
| Excadrill | Metal Claw | Iron Head |
| Articuno | Frost Breath | Triple Axel |
| Magnezone | Volt Switch | Wild Charge |
| Mega Manectric | Thunder Fang | Wild Charge |
Battle Strategy
For successful 5-Star Raids, coordinate with at least three other high-level trainers. Shadow versions of counters provide 20% damage boost but reduced defense. Currently, Shiny Enamorus remains unavailable in Pokemon GO.
Prepare your team ahead of raid spawns to maximize your battle time against this powerful Legendary.
