Best Pokemon GO Incarnate Enamorus Counters: Weaknesses & Resistances Guide

by Peyton Mar 16,2025

Incarnate Enamorus has returned to Pokémon GO as a challenging 5-Star Raid boss. This Fairy/Flying-type Pokémon, initially appearing during the Valentine's Day event, boasts a high Attack stat, demanding a well-prepared team to overcome. However, its dual typing presents exploitable weaknesses.

This guide details how to defeat Incarnate Enamorus and clarifies its Shiny availability in Pokémon GO.

Incarnate Enamorus Weaknesses & Resistances in Pokémon GO

Incarnate Enamorus is a dual Fairy/Flying type, making it weak to Electric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks (160% damage). Conversely, it resists Dark and Grass-type moves (63% damage reduction), along with Bug, Dragon, Fighting, and Ground-type moves (39% damage reduction).

While five weaknesses seem advantageous, Enamorus's diverse moveset (including Dazzling Gleam, Fly, and Zen Headbutt) limits effective counter options. For example, its access to Grass Knot renders many Rock-type Pokémon ineffective.

Consider secondary typings; for example, Metagross's Psychic typing makes it vulnerable to Astonish. Aerodactyl is an exception, its Flying type negating Grass Knot's effectiveness.
