Incarnate Forme Enamorus is set to make its Pokemon GO debut via Elite Raids, and many players want to know how they can defeat it solo. It is a Legendary Pokemon, popularly known as a member of the Forces of Nature. Nintendo’s Pokemon: Legend Arceus was the first game to introduce Incarnate Forme Enamorus.

Pokemon of such caliber are often hard to challenge if you are playing alone; the likelihood of winning would be much greater with a team. That said, victory as a solo player is not possible. Here is what you must do to conquer Incarnate Forme Enamorus in Niantic's mobile title with your friends.

If you want to beat Incarnate Forme Enamorus in Pokemon GO Elite Raids, you will need to use the ideal raid counters. Pokemon that utilize the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) effect are the most effective counters in this scenario.

  • Electric
  • Ice
  • Poison
  • Rock
  • Steel

It resists the following attacks:

  • Bug
  • Dragon
  • Fighting
  • Ground
  • Dark
  • Grass

When building counters for Incarnate Forme Enamorus, you should focus on exploiting its weaknesses. If you use attacks that the creature can resist, you will be at a disadvantage as they won't deal considerable damage.
