Conquer Incarnate Enamorus in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide
Incarnate Enamorus, a formidable Fairy/Flying-type 5-Star Raid boss in Pokémon GO, returns. This guide details its weaknesses, resistances, and optimal counters to ensure a successful raid.
Enamorus's Strengths and Weaknesses:
Incarnate Enamorus boasts a dual Fairy/Flying typing, making it vulnerable to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness). Conversely, it resists Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fighting, and Grass-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. For instance, Fighting, Dragon, Dark, Bug, and Grass-types are generally less effective due to its movepool.
Top Counters:
Prioritize Steel, Electric, and Ice-types with same-type attack bonus (STAB) moves. Excellent 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; 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 using the recommended counters. Utilize Shadow Pokémon for increased attack, but be mindful of their reduced defense. Time management is crucial; prepare your team beforehand to maximize your raid window.
Shiny Enamorus:
Currently, Shiny Incarnate Enamorus is unavailable in Pokémon GO. Future events may introduce it.
