[SET COMMENTS]
Enamorus carves a niche for itself as a decent speed control option, sporting good coverage with the ability to outspeed other common Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Urshifu-R, Tapu Lele, and Hisuian Samurott. Choice Scarf Enamorus also gets the jump on offensive threats like Choice Specs Iron Valiant, as well as Dragonite and Garchomp with a Speed boost. Earth Power hits targets such as Heatran, Kingambit, and Gholdengo, preventing them from using Enamorus as setup fodder. Mystical Fire enables it to hit Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor, Pokemon that would otherwise switch in comfortably. Healing Wish gives weakened teammates one more chance to wallbreak or sweep if they get statused or chipped heavily while provided a free switch-in that can help versus bulkier teams.
Enamorus is mostly used on bulky offense teams and hyper offense where its Speed is valued to handle common wallbreakers such as Mega Latios and Weavile. Enamorus can often be revenge killed by priority users such as Choice Band Weavile and Raging Bolt, making defensive teammates such as Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn good; the latter can set up entry hazards for Enamorus to clean through weakened teams more easily. Mega Scizor can pivot Enamorus in safety with U-turn and helps it overwhelm shared checks like Heatran and Gholdengo. In return, Enamorus can provide Healing Wish support for Mega Scizor if it has been statused by its checks like Zapdos and Moltres. Enamorus lacks the immediate power to pose a threat to common defensive cores with Pokemon such as Toxapex, Gliscor, and Ferrothorn; thus, it values strong wallbreakers like Mega Medicham and Kyurem to pressure these cores. Enamorus is also weak to Stealth Rock, so it appreciates partners like Great Tusk and Terapagos that can remove the hazard. In return, Enamorus's Healing Wish can help Great Tusk recover from status, and it can restore Terapagos's Tera Shell. Enamorus can also support Terapagos in overwhelming shared checks like Heatran and Toxapex. Allies like Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Ogerpon-W greatly appreciate Enamorus's ability to heal them in a pinch if needed. In return, Zamazenta and Ogerpon-W can pressure checks like Heatran and Melmetal.
