If Enamorus goes down before it attacks, it contributed nothing. If it doesn't, something on the other side is going down. Contrary reverses stat changes — what should be a debuff becomes a boost, which helps. Part of the Gen 8 roster.
Everything pushes toward mixed damage here. Enamorus's Sp. Atk does the work, Defense pays the price. But you're still getting 3 Sp. Atk EVs per KO. Near-impossible to catch, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Enamorus Weakness
GoodElectric, Ice, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type moves hit Enamorus for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground and Dragon-type moves can't touch it at all. The Fairy/Flying typing picks up 4 resistances to work with.
A Fairy/Flying-type legendary, Enamorus doesn't evolve or breed. At 580 total stats, it's meant to stand on its own.
How to Evolve
Enamorus's locked into one move per switch-in with Choice Scarf, trading flexibility for speed patching through item lock. Moonblast is the go-to spam option, with Fairy coverage keeping switch-ins honest.

Enamorus gets Contrary and Cute Charm. But Contrary is the one that matters — it's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. With base 106 Speed, Contrary gives Enamorus an edge before opponents can react.
Enamorus is a mixed attacker — base 115 Attack and 135 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 106 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper role.
