Calm Mind Enamorus is a potent sweeper thanks to its high Special Attack and Speed. Earth Power lets Enamorus threaten Pokemon that resist Moonblast such as Galarian Slowking, Cinderace, Toxapex, Iron Moth, Heatran, and Clodsire. Enamorus can complement its coverage with Mystical Fire, which allows it to hit Corviknight and Air Balloon Gholdengo. Substitute is another option that lets Enamorus take advantage of the switches it forces and thus find more room to set up. Substitute also protects it from status conditions such as Amoonguss's Spore and Toxapex and Clodsire's Toxic. Agility is another alternative that lets Enamorus outspeed and thus threaten fast offensive Pokemon that would otherwise try to revenge kill it such as Cinderace, Zamazenta, and Dragapult. Timid is the preferred nature, as it lets Enamorus outspeed the likes of Zapdos, Sandy Shocks, and Garchomp, while Modest is usually seen alongside Agility. Heavy-Duty Boots removes Enamorus's weakness to Stealth Rock, letting it come into the field safely throughout the game. Leftovers grants Enamorus recovery and is usually used with Substitute to slowly heal and potentially set up more Substitutes. Life Orb is a more offensive option that increases Enamorus's damage output, letting it secure OHKOs against Choice Band Hoopa-U and even neutral targets such as Zapdos after one Calm Mind. Cute Charm is used over Contrary, as the latter conflicts with Calm Mind, and the former can potentially infatuate opposing male Pokemon, granting Enamorus free turns to set up. Tera Fairy makes Enamorus's Moonblast nearly unwallable, as even resistances such as Corviknight are potentially 2HKOed after one Calm Mind. Tera Ground, on the other hand, boosts Enamorus's Earth Power and turns its weakness to Poison into a resistance, which lets it deny revenge killing attempts from Sneasler and Iron Moth and turns soft checks such as Galarian Slowking into setup fodder. Tera Steel is yet another alternative that improves Enamorus's matchup against Poison-types, particularly Amoonguss, and turns its weakness to Ice into a resistance, letting it deny revenge killing attempts from Baxcalibur's Ice Shard.

Enamorus fits better on hyper offense and bulky offense teams. Entry hazard setters that fit on these playstyles, such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Glimmora, and Hisuian Samurott, can slowly chip at the opposing team, making it easier for Enamorus to clean up late-game. Enamorus, in turn, denies opportunities for opposing Great Tusk to come in and Rapid Spin those hazards away, thanks to its higher Speed and resistance to both of Great Tusk's STAB moves. Its good matchup against Great Tusk, as well as Zamazenta and Dondozo, makes Enamorus a great Kingambit teammate, as it can cover Kingambit's would-be checks. Kingambit, in return, can help against Choice Scarf Gholdengo and Galarian Slowking, which can be troublesome for Enamorus. Choice Specs Dragapult can weaken soft checks that can shrug off one of its or Enamorus's hits, such as Rotom-W, Zapdos, Ursaluna, and Azumarill, and appreciates Enamorus's ability to switch into Dark-type attacks from Hisuian Samurott and Hoopa-U and threaten them back.

Tera Fairy makes Enamorus Moonblast nearly unwallable, as even resists such as Corviknight are potentially 2HKOed after 1 Calm Mind. Tera Ground on the other hand boosts Enamorus Earth Power and turns its Poison-type weakness into a resist, which lets it deny revenge killing attempts from Sneasler and Iron Moth, and turn soft checks such as Galarian Slowking into setup fodder. Tera Steel is yet another alternative that improves Enamorus matchup against Poison-types and turns its Ice-type weakness into a resist, letting it deny revenge killing attempts from Baxcalibur's Ice Shard. Though it may seem obvious, I would mention Cute Charm here. Not just why its run over Contrary but also how it can be used in pinch scenarios.

Enamorus fits better on hyper offense and bulky offense teams. Hazard setters that fit on these playstyles such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Glimmora, and Hisuian Samurott can slowly chip at the opposing team, making it easier for Enamorus to clean up late game.

Good stuff. Not a lot from me. Thanks! 1/2.
 
i have a pair of small suggestions (implement only if you agree with it):

Tera Steel is yet another alternative that improves Enamorus matchup against Poison-types and turns its Ice-type weakness into a resist, letting it deny revenge killing attempts from Baxcalibur's Ice Shard.
  • I'd namedrop Amoonguss in particular here, with Tera Steel and Substitute you can set up very freely on Amoonguss which is otherwise a reasonable switch-in to this thing.
Enamorus in turn can protect said hazards from Great Tusk's Rapid Spin, thanks to its higher Speed and resistance to both of Great Tusk's stabs.
  • I get what you're trying to say here, but I'm unsure if "Protect" is the right word. In scenarios where Great Tusk is in and has a free chance to spin, offensive sets are very free to do so, and then threaten out your potential incoming Enamorus with Ice Spinner (not considering tera). You can at least come into defensive Great Tusk and get a free switch on its spin and force it out the next turn, but I think I'd just mention Enamorus doesn't give Great Tusk switch in opportunities and leave it at that!

Added Amoonguss. I tried rewriting the Great Tusk part but if you want to give it a go that would be great as well, ty
 
how about:
