The many switch-ins Enamorus forces, courtesy of its sky-high Special Attack and good coverage, allow it to become a potent Life Orb user that can use Substitute to turn the tables against foes trying to maneuver around it. Substitute also allows Enamorus to stay safe from status attempts like Toxapex's and Clodsire's Toxic, revenge killing attempts from Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and Kingambit's Sucker Punch, as well as absorbing weak hits like Landorus-T's and Gliscor's U-turn. Earth Power targets Fairy-resistant Pokemon such as Gholdengo, Galarian Slowking, Ceruledge, and Cinderace. Draining Kiss rounds out its moveset, picking off weakened foes and healing the HP lost from Substitute and Life Orb. Tera Fairy allows Enamorus's Moonblast to OHKO the likes of Landorus-T and Assault Vest Kyurem, while the extra boost to Draining Kiss's base power turns it into a much more reliable STAB option that can OHKO Fairy-weak targets like Raging Bolt. The combination of Tera Fairy and Contrary also allows Enamorus to act as counterplay to Sticky Web, a key interaction for the teams it thrives on. While a Modest nature is preferred for its raw power, a Timid nature can outspeed the likes of threats like Kyurem, Zapdos, and Iron Crown. However, the loss in power associated with this leaves it no longer able to OHKO key targets such as Zamazenta and Cinderace.
Substitute Enamorus finds its home on Sticky Web teams, where it does not have to worry about would-be faster foes like Iron Moth and Choice Scarf Gholdengo; additionally, it can provide support via its Contrary and Tera Fairy combination, letting it turn the tables against teams with Cinderace looking to use Court Change. Gholdengo is appreciated on these teams for its ability to prevent most foes from removing Sticky Web, while it can assist Enamorus in weakening specially defensive walls such as Blissey and Assault Vest Alomomola. It can also take on foes such as Galarian Slowking and Iron Crown that are able to stomach a hit from Enamorus and threaten to OHKO it back. Great Tusk and Kingambit also threaten said special walls, in particular Galarian Slowking, with Great Tusk removing the Stealth Rock that heavily chip Enamorus. In turn, Enamorus can deal with physical walls such as Dondozo and Iron Defense Zamazenta that trouble them. Raging Bolt is another offensive threat that thrives on Sticky Web teams, aiding against specially defensive variants of Corviknight and Moltres that are able to shrug off Enamorus's hits, also forming a wallbreaking core that can cut through shared checks like Galarian Slowking. Meanwhile, Enamorus takes advantage of Ground-type attacks from Landorus-T and Great Tusk, which outspeed and threaten Raging Bolt.
