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 the optimal counter strategies for a successful raid.

Incarnate Enamorus: Strengths and Weaknesses

Incarnate Enamorus boasts a dual Fairy/Flying typing, leaving it vulnerable to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness). However, it also possesses numerous resistances: it resists Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fighting, and Ground-type moves.

While five weaknesses seem advantageous, Enamorus's diverse moveset (including Dazzling Gleam, Fly, and Zen Headbutt) limits effective counter options. Its access to Grass Knot further complicates strategy, neutralizing many Rock and Ground-type Pokémon.

Consider secondary typings; for example, Metagross's Psychic typing makes it vulnerable to Enamorus's Astonish. Aerodactyl is an exception, as its Flying type negates Grass Knot's effectiveness.

Raid Strategy

Form a team of at least four players with the recommended counters. Utilize Shadow Pokémon for a potential attack boost, but be mindful of their reduced defense. Time management is crucial; prepare your team beforehand to maximize your raid window.
