Incarnate Enamorus, the formidable Fairy/Flying-type Pokémon, has returned to Pokémon GO as a 5-Star Raid boss. This powerful Legendary Pokémon boasts a high Attack stat, making it a challenging opponent. However, its dual typing presents exploitable weaknesses for savvy Trainers.
This guide details how to defeat Incarnate Enamorus and addresses the possibility of encountering its Shiny form.
Incarnate Enamorus Weaknesses & Resistances in Pokémon GO
Incarnate Enamorus is a dual Fairy/Flying type, leaving it vulnerable to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness).
Conversely, this Legendary Pokémon possesses numerous resistances. It's particularly strong against Dark- and Grass-type moves (63% damage reduction), and moderately resistant to Bug, Dragon, Fighting, and Ground-type moves (39% damage reduction).
Pokémon | Type | Weaknesses | Strong Against | Resistances |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | 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 access to Fairy-type Dazzling Gleam and Flying-type Fly renders Fighting, Dragon, Dark, Bug, and Grass-types less effective. Furthermore, its Psychic-type Zen Headbutt counters Poison-types, and Grass Knot neutralizes Rock, Ground, and Water-types. Therefore, focusing on same-type attack bonus (STAB) moves is crucial.
Best Incarnate Enamorus Counters in Pokémon GO
Optimal counters include Steel, Electric, and Ice-types utilizing STAB moves. Top choices are Raikou, Excadrill, and Articuno.
Pokémon | Fast Move | Charged Move |
---|---|---|
![]() | Thunder Shock | Wild Charge |

Consider secondary typings; for example, Metagross's Psychic typing makes it vulnerable to Astonish. Aerodactyl is an exception, as its Flying type negates Grass Knot's effectiveness. A strong team with diverse counters is recommended.
