[SET COMMENTS]
Enamorus leverages its great mixed offensive cover to punish its common answers such as Hisuian Goodra, thanks to Contrary boosting its physical stats when using Superpower, and potentially its speed if Hisuian Goodra runs Gooey, making it able to withstand a Heavy Slam from Hisuian Goodra altogether. More than solely KO'ing Hisuian Goodra, Superpower does hit Air Balloon Heatran and Blissey, allowing Enamorus to make significant progress in the battle. Earth Power threatens Poison-types by the likes of non-Choice Band Sneasler and Toxapex, and notably OHKOes non-Air balloon Heatran and non-Choice Scarf Archaludon after chip. Mystical Fire allows it to deal a good chunk of damage to the likes of Skarmory and Corviknight, which could switch in otherwise, thus substantially improving the Steel matchup. Alternatively, Healing Wish can give a setup teammate like Primarina a second chance to sweep. Expert Belt is recommended to take full advantage of its nice coverage options, but Heavy-Duty Boots remains a solid option if the team lacks ways to deal with Stealth Rocks.
Given its relative frailness and decent speed tier, Enamorus appreciates screen setters such as Klefki. More than solely setting screens, Klefki is an invaluable partner to Enamorus, granting Poison immunity to the team as well as being a decent check to Scizor. It can also paralyze the targets to mitigate the speed issue against scarfers and naturally faster Pokemon like Archaludon, Dragapult, and Latios, and set up spikes, enhancing the sweeping potential of Enamorus. In the same vein, Hatterene can cripple foes with Nuzzle, such as Ogerpon-H, and prevents Stealth Rocks from being set up on Enamorus's side while dealing more effectively against foes such as Galarian Weezing and Clodsire, against which Enamorus will struggle. Offensively, Enamorus is best paired with sweepers like Choice Specs Flutter Mane, Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, and Azumarill that can create holes in the opposing team for Enamorus. Flutter Mane easily disposes of Gholdengo and can pressure Flying and Ghost teams with its incredible raw power. Choice Scarf Iron Valiant pairs well as it can outspeed most Choice Scarf users like Landorus and Latias, as well as Choice Specs Dragapult, which would be a serious threat otherwise. Lastly, Azumarill is a fearsome sweeper, destroying most defensive cores after Belly Drum, letting Enamorus finish the job.
