Stallbreaker Enamorus uses its distinctive offensive profile to be a proficient stallbreaker, capable of wearing down stall structures consisting of
Chansey, Skarmory, Flygon, and Clefable as well as taking advantage of other defensive staples, such as Ting-Lu, Rotom-W, and Buzzwole. Moonblast alongside Fairium Z grants Enamorus the burst damage to break through Clefable as well as OHKO Pokemon like Rotom-W and Mega Aerodactyl expecting to survive an unboosted Moonblast. Superpower alongside Contrary allows Enamorus to snowball incredibly effectively against slower teams, as it can survive Jirachi's Iron Head at +1, which is often the best switch in against Enamorus on stall teams. It also slams Chansey and lets Enamorus break through Skarmory more easily. Boosting its Defense also allows Enamorus to take hits from defensive and offensive answers alike, such as Heavy Slam Celesteela, Scizor, Mega Gallade, and Choice Scarf Mienshao. Earth Power snipes Iron Moth on the switch in, Aegislash, and the rare Pecharunt or Skeledirge that may be seen on stall teams. Taunt is essential to block recovery and utility moves from defensive Pokemon that Enamorus cannot easily 2HKO like Mega Venusaur and Celesteela. While Fairium Z is generally recommended to give Enamorus the ability to break through Clefable more easily, Leftovers is an option on teams already utilizing the Z-Move elsewhere to grant Enamorus extended longevity, especially against teams where the main mode of damaging it is Chansey and Blissey's Seismic Toss. It also ensures Enamorus remains healthy against bulkier sand teams. Heavy-Duty Boots is an option on teams lacking entry hazard removal but requires more precise play with Enamorus to break through stall teams. A Naive nature ensures Enamorus can take advantage of the Defense boost from Superpower more effectively, and it doesn't significantly worsen matchups against revenge killers like Iron Moth and Greninja. Stallbreaker Enamorus is only seen on offensive teams looking for a threat capable of wearing down defensive structures efficiently. While Enamorus can remove most Pokemon on stall teams, compositions utilizing Mega Venusaur or Amoonguss can make it difficult for Enamorus to easily break through. Teammates like Aegislash, Scizor, and Serperior can help Enamorus wear these two down, handle them defensively, or lure them in and cripple them with status. Enamorus also appreciates their defensive profile, as they are capable of switching into faster threats such as Iron Boulder and Alakazam that force Enamorus out. Enamorus also struggles against more offensive teams due to its middling Speed, lack of consistent wallbreaking power, lack of opportunities to switch in, and reliance on prediction to catch foes on the switch in. Teammates like Ting-Lu, Excadrill, and Tyranitar can temporarily check threats like Iron Moth and Zeraora on offensive teams, as well as provide hazard support to help Enamorus wear down Celesteela and Mega Venusaur. Magnezone is a notable teammate, able to trap and remove Celesteela, Scizor, and Jirachi, which give Enamorus trouble. Enamorus is also weak to Stealth Rock, so teammates like Rotom-W and Excadrill can help mitigate this weakness while also taking advantage of holes left in the opposing team left by Enamorus.

Chansey, Skarmory, Flygon, and Clefable as well as take advantage of other defensive staples, such as Ting-Lu, Rotom-W, and Buzzwole. Moonblast alongside Fairium Z grants Enamorus the burst damage to break through Clefable as well as surprise Pokemon like Rotom-W and Mega Aerodactyl expecting to survive and unboosted Moonblast with an OHKO. Superpower alongside Contrary allows Enamorus to snowball incredibly effectively against slower teams, allowing Enamorus to survive Jirachi's Iron Head at +1, which is often the switch in against Enamorus on stall teams while also slamming Chansey and letting Enamorus break through Skarmory more easily. Boosting its defense Defense also allows Enamorus to take hits from defensive and offensive answers alike, such as Heavy Slam As some Steela can justify Air Slash + Flame as coverage > Slam when paired with another Fairy check Celesteela, Scizor, Mega Gallade, and Choice Scarf Mienshao. Earth Power snipes Iron Moth on the switch in, Aegislash, and the rare Pecharunt or Skeledirge that may be seen on stall teams. Taunt is essential to block recovery and utility moves from defensive Pokemon that Enamorus cannot easily 2HKO like Mega Venusaur and Celesteela. While Fairium Z is generally recommended to give Enamorus the ability to break through Clefable more easily, Leftovers is an option on teams already utilizing the Z-Move to grant Enamorus extended longevity, especially against teams where the main mode of damaging Enamorus is Chansey and Blissey's Seismic Toss. You could also briefly mention being able to heal off sandstorm chip in extended games Heavy-Duty Boots is an option on teams lacking entry hazard removal, but requires more precise play with Enamorus to break through stall teams. A Naive nature ensures Enamorus can take advantage of the defense raise from Superpower more efficiently while not significantly worsening matchups into revenge killers like Iron Moth and Greninja. Stallbreaker Enamorus is only seen on offensive teams looking for a threat capable of wearing down defensive structures efficiently for the benefit of offensive teammates. While Enamorus can remove most Pokemon on stall teams, stall teams utilizing Mega Venusaur or Amoonguss can make it difficult for Enamorus to easily win the game. Teammates like Aegislash, Scizor, and Serperior can help Enamorus wear down these two, handle them defensively, or lure them in and cripple them with status. Enamorus also appreciates their defensive profile, capable of switching into faster threats such as Iron Boulder or Alakazam which force Enamorus out. Enamorus also struggles against more offensive teams, given its middling speed Speed tier and lack of consistent breaking power I find it a bit strange/informal to convey it this way, I think if you want to compound the prediction element vs offense, you can instead mention that it lacks consistent opportunities to switch into both offensive and defensive mons alike (only really Hydrapple and Ting tmk), often relying on prediction to catch threats on the switch in. Teammates like Ting-Lu, Excadrill, and Tyranitar can temporarily check threats like Iron Moth and Zeraora against offensive teams, as well as provide hazard support to help Enamorus wear down Celesteela and Mega Venusaur. Magnezone is also a notable teammate, able to trap and remove Celesteela, Scizor, and Jirachi, which give Enamorus trouble. Enamorus is also weak to Stealth Rock, so teammates like Rotom-W and Excadrill can help mitigate this weakness while also taking advantage of holes left in the opposing team left by Enamorus.

1/1 when implemented. :blobthumbsup:
 
GP Team ready. Iride and I are stuck on this sentence: "Enamorus also struggles against more offensive teams due to its middling Speed, lack of consistent breaking power, and reliance on prediction to catch foes on the switch in." A recommendation on how/if Enamorus' inability to switch in can be implemented well into this sentence, or if the term "consistent breaking power" is too vague/broad would be appreciated.
 
1/1 GP Team done
I AM IN MISERY (when playing against this using stall) deserved for using stall

It also ensures Enamorus remains healthy against bulkier sand teams. Heavy-Duty Boots is an option on teams lacking entry hazard removal (RC) (second clause isn't independent) but requires more precise play with Enamorus to break through stall teams. A Naive nature ensures Enamorus can take advantage of the Defense raise boost from Superpower more effectively, and it (makes the second clause independent so the comma is correct) doesn't significantly worsen matchups against revenge killers like Iron Moth and Greninja. Stallbreaker Enamorus is only seen on offensive teams looking for a threat capable of wearing down defensive structures efficiently for the benefit of offensive teammates efficientlys (redundant with offensive teams). While Enamorus can remove most Pokemon on stall teams, compositions utilizing Mega Venusaur or Amoonguss can make it difficult for Enamorus to easily break through.
