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 provides strategies and counter recommendations to ensure victory.
Enamorus's Strengths and Weaknesses:
Incarnate Enamorus boasts high Attack, but its dual typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness). Conversely, 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 |
Enamorus's diverse moveset (including Dazzling Gleam, Fly, Zen Headbutt, and Grass Knot) necessitates careful counter selection. While many types exploit its weaknesses, its offensive capabilities limit the effectiveness of some.
Optimal Counters:
Prioritize Steel, Electric, and Ice-type Pokémon with same-type attack bonus (STAB) moves. Top choices include:
| 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 Enamorus's moves. Aerodactyl is an exception, as its Flying type negates Grass Knot's effectiveness.
Raid Strategy:
5-Star Raids require coordinated teams of at least four players. Utilize the recommended counters, and remember that Shadow Pokémon, while offering increased Attack, have reduced Defense.
Shiny Enamorus:
Currently, Shiny Incarnate Enamorus is unavailable in Pokémon GO. Future events may introduce it.
