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, making it a difficult opponent. However, its dual typing creates vulnerabilities. It's weak to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% effectiveness). Conversely, it resists Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fighting, and Ground-type moves.

Optimal Counter Strategies:

While Enamorus has five weaknesses, its diverse moveset (including Dazzling Gleam, Fly, Zen Headbutt, and Grass Knot) limits effective counter options. Avoid Fighting, Dragon, Dark, Bug, and Grass types. Poison types are also vulnerable to Zen Headbutt.

Top Counter Pokémon:

Prioritize Steel, Electric, and Ice types with same-type attack bonus (STAB) moves. Here are top recommendations:
