The Legendary Pokémon Enamorus is making a return to Pokémon Go’s 5-Star Raid battles in its Incarnate Forme. To ensure you stand a chance against this formidable opponent, it’s essential to understand its strengths and weaknesses.
Initially introduced to trainers in Pokémon Legends: Arceus in January 2022, Enamorus made its debut in Niantic’s mobile game in 2024 during the Timeless Travels season. This powerful Fairy/Flying-type Pokémon, known for its impressive stats and unique abilities, is not one to underestimate.
Understanding Enamorus’ Weaknesses
As a dual-type Pokémon, Enamorus exhibits certain vulnerabilities. It is particularly weak to the following types: Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel. This means trainers can effectively plan their strategies with a variety of Pokémon from those types, particularly Electric and Rock types, which are ideally suited for countering Enamorus.
Conversely, Enamorus has several resistances, including Bug, Dragon, Fighting, Ground, Dark, and Grass-type moves. Avoid using these types during your battles to maximize your effectiveness against this legendary creature.

Here’s a selection of the most effective Pokémon to deploy against Enamorus:
