Choice Specs Enamorus-T is a powerhouse under Trick Room with respectable bulk, which helps it to check top threats like Great Tusk by avoiding a 2HKO from Ice Spinner, and an immunity to Spikes. Moonblast threatens an OHKO on Fairy-weak Pokemon with the notable exceptions of a 2HKO on Ting-Lu and Assault Vest Hoopa-U. Earth Power hits premier Steel- and Poison-types in the tier, enabling it to OHKO Iron Moth and Iron Treads as well as 2HKO Galarian Slowking and Iron Crown without Assault Vest. Mystical Fire hits Ground-immune Steel-types such as Air Balloon Tinkaton, Air Balloon Gholdengo, and Corviknight. Mystical Fire's Special Attack drop allows Enamorus-T to survive Make It Rain from Gholdengo and Tachyon Cutter from Assault Vest Iron Crown, as well as prevent a 2HKO Darkrai’s Sludge Bomb or prevent an OHKO from Tera Poison Darkrai’s Sludge Bomb. Because Enamorus-T already has great coverage, Draining Kiss is chosen to maximize longevity and is able to pick off chipped or Fairy-weak targets, with it OHKOing Dragapult, Hisuian Samurott, Weavile, and Darkrai. Speed is minimized for usage in Trick Room and HP is left at an odd number to maximize opportunities to enter the field after Stealth Rock. Tera Fairy removes the Stealth Rock weakness, a major nuisance of Enamorus-T, as well as guaranteeing an OHKO with Moonblast on targets such as Kingambit, defensive Landorus-T, and Gliscor after Stealth Rock. Tera Fairy also powers up Draining Kiss, which gives Enamorus-T significantly more recovery while netting the OHKO on Zamazenta, Raging Bolt, and Kyurem and getting a 2HKO on Kingambit, Ogerpon-W, and Ting-Lu.
Trick Room is the only viable style for Choice Specs Enamorus-T, and these teams benefit from its low Speed and absurd damage output. Thus, Cresselia and Hatterene are essential partners, as they're the best Trick Room setters, with both able to provide a crucial Lunar Dance or Healing Wish, respectively, to rejuvenate Enamorus-T. With Lunar Dance or Healing Wish able to heal it up later, Enamorus-T can be played way more aggressively, lending itself even more value out of its damage output. This recovery becomes even more important since Enamorus-T gets chipped down quickly by Stealth Rock, though Hatterene's Magic Bounce is great for Enamorus-T because it blocks Stealth Rock. On the other hand, Cresslia's great bulk allows it to switch into attacks like Ice Spinner and Discharge for Enamorus-T, which is especially useful due to Choice Specs locking Enamorus-T into potentially ineffective moves. Cresselia appreciates Enamorus-T's ability to shrug off Dark-type attacks from threats such as Hisuian Samurott and Kingambit. Common offensive Trick Room partners like Kingambit and Iron Hands appreciate Enamorus-T's ability to switch into the tier's Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Gliscor, and Landorus-T, all of which are threatened by Moonblast. Ursaluna is a strong partner for Enamorus-T, switching into Electric-type moves from Raging Bolt and Zapdos and threatening special walls that Enamorus-T can struggle against like Clodsire and Blissey. Meanwhile, Enamorus-T can break physical walls that Ursaluna is annoyed by such as Corviknight, Skarmory, and Zamazenta.
