Incarnate Enamorus is a dual Fairy/Flying type, making it weak to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness). However, it also boasts numerous resistances. It's strong against Dark and Grass-type moves (63% damage reduction), and resists 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 your counter options. Its Fairy-type Dazzling Gleam and Flying-type Fly negate the effectiveness of many Fighting, Dragon, Dark, Bug, and Grass types. Zen Headbutt (Psychic) further counters Poison types. Grass Knot can also neutralize Rock, Ground, and Water types.
Therefore, while you can utilize Pokémon of various types exploiting its weaknesses, prioritizing those with Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for maximum damage is crucial.
Optimal counters include Steel, Electric, and Ice types with STAB moves. Top choices are Raikou, Excadrill, and Articuno.

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.
5-Star Raids require coordinated teams of four or more high-level players. Utilize the Pokémon listed above. Prepare beforehand to maximize your limited raid time.
Shadow Pokémon offer a 20% Attack boost but suffer a 20% Defense reduction. Use cautiously, considering their inherent fragility.
With these counters and strategies, you're well-equipped to defeat Incarnate Enamorus. Check the *Pokémon GO* event schedule for upcoming activities and use any available promo codes for extra rewards.
