Elite Raids tend to be difficult compared to Raids of other tiers, and this remains true for Incarnate Forme Enamorus’s. For this Elite Raid, it is best to attempt it withat least four to six Trainers in your group, giving you and your allies a great chance of successfully completing it.
Again, the Trainers that you group up with will have to join you locally, so do your best to communicate with others beforehand to organize arrangements for these Elite Raids. Additionally, it is recommended that yougroup up with as many Trainers as possibledue to the limited nature of these Raids, further guaranteeing your success and opportunity to catch Incarnate Forme Enamorus.

Enamorus: Strengths And Weaknesses
You will want to take note of Enamorus’s strengths and weaknesses before attempting this Elite Raid, allowing you to effectively craft a team of Pokemon that directly counters this Pokemon.
First addressing the attack types you will want to avoid, Enamorus isresistant to Bug, Dragon, Ground, Fighting, Grass, and Dark-type attacksdue to its Flying and Fairy dual-typing. Avoid using Pokemon with attacks of these types because they will contribute very little to your team’s overall damage output in this Raid.
Fortunately, there are five different attack types that Enamorus is weak against on the battlefield:Poison, Rock, Steel, Electric, and Ice.Using Pokemon with these attack types is essential to you and your allies' success, so make it a priority to put together a team utilizing them.

In this case, this means usingpowerful Pokemon that use attacks that are super-effective against Enamorus,including Poison, Rock, Steel, Electric, and Ice-type attacks.
