Incarnate Enamorus has returned to Pokémon GO as a formidable 5-Star Raid boss. This Fairy/Flying-type Pokémon presents a challenge, but with the right team, victory is within reach. Initially appearing during the Valentine's Day event, Enamorus's high Attack stat makes it a tough opponent, but its type weaknesses offer exploitable vulnerabilities.
This guide details how to defeat Incarnate Enamorus and clarifies its Shiny status in Pokémon GO.
Incarnate Enamorus Weaknesses & Resistances in Pokémon GO
Incarnate Enamorus is a dual Fairy/Flying type, making it weak to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness). However, it boasts numerous resistances: it resists Dark and Grass-type moves (63% damage reduction), and Bug, Dragon, Fighting, and Ground-type moves (39% damage reduction).
| Pokémon | Type | Weaknesses | Strong Against | 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 |
While five weaknesses seem advantageous, Enamorus's diverse moveset limits counter options. Its Fairy-type Dazzling Gleam and Flying-type Fly negate the effectiveness of Fighting, Dragon, Dark, Bug, and Grass types. Zen Headbutt (Psychic-type) further counters Poison types. Grass Knot (Grass-type) neutralizes Rock, Ground, and Water types. Therefore, choosing counters requires careful consideration of both type matchups and Enamorus's potential moves.
Best Incarnate Enamorus Counters in Pokémon GO
Optimal counters include Steel, Electric, and Ice types utilizing same-type moves. Top choices are Raikou, Excadrill, and Articuno.
| 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 |
Consider secondary typings; for example, Metagross's Psychic typing makes it vulnerable to Astonish. Aerodactyl is an exception, its Flying type negating Grass Knot's effectiveness.
