Pokemon GO Enamorus raid guide: Weaknesses and best counters

Knowing Enamorus' best weaknesses and counters in Pokemon GO via a raid guide can be invaluable for taking on Enamorus in its Incarnate Forme when it arrives in Elite Raids on Valentine's Day, 2024. The Fairy/Flying-type Love-Hate Pokemon has more than a few weaknesses to exploit, and multiple avenues can be pursued to counter and defeat it in raids.

Since it's appearing first as an Elite Raid boss, Enamorus won't be an easy opponent to take down in Pokemon GO. However, with the right creatures and moves at a player's side, as well as the backup of a few similarly dedicated trainers, beating Enamorus in Elite Raids should be attainable even if the battle is tough.
