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 best counter strategies to ensure victory.
Enamorus's Strengths and Weaknesses:
Incarnate Enamorus boasts a dual Fairy/Flying typing, resulting in weaknesses 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.
| Pokémon | Type | Weaknesses | Strengths | Resistances |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Incarnate Enamorus | Fairy/Flying | Poison, Steel, Electric, Ice, Rock | Dragon, Fighting, Dark, Grass, Poison, Bug, Ghost, Dark, Ground, Rock, Water | Grass, Fighting, Bug, Dragon, Dark |
Optimal Counter Strategies:
While Enamorus has multiple weaknesses, its diverse moveset limits effective counter options. Fighting, Dragon, Dark, Bug, and Grass-types are generally inadvisable due to its access to Dazzling Gleam (Fairy), Fly (Flying), and Zen Headbutt (Psychic). Rock-types are also vulnerable to its Grass Knot.
The most effective counters leverage Electric, Steel, and Ice-types with same-type attack bonus (STAB) moves.
| Pokémon | Fast Move | Charged Move |
|---|---|---|
 Raikou | Thunder Shock | Wild Charge |
 Zapdos | Thunder Shock | Wild Charge |
 Magnezone | Volt Switch | Wild Charge |
 Excadrill | Metal Claw | Iron Head |
 Xurkitree | Thunder Shock | Discharge |
 Melmetal | Thunder Shock | Double Iron Bash |
 Articuno | Frost Breath | Triple Axel |
 Manectric (Mega or base form) | Thunder Fang | Wild Charge |
 Electivire | Thunder Shock | Wild Charge |
 Aerodactyl (Mega or base form) | Rock Throw | Rock Slide |
Raid Strategy:
For successful 5-Star Raids, a team of at least four high-level players with the recommended counters is crucial. Time is limited, so preparation is key. Shadow Pokémon can offer a significant advantage due to their increased attack, but their reduced defense must be considered.
Shiny Enamorus:
Currently, Shiny Incarnate Enamorus is unavailable in Pokémon GO. Its debut is anticipated in a future event.
