Is Incarnate Forme Enamorus good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

According to PvPoke rankings, Enamorus' Incarnate Forme is the fourth best Fairy-type in the Master League of GO Battle League. Access to STAB Fairy Wind, one of the fastest energy-generating moves in the game, along with STAB Dazzling Gleam and Fly, allows it to exert Shield Pressure on opponents or deal heavy damage.

Given its relatively weak defenses, this critter performs best in situations where you have a shield advantage. Therefore, consider playing it as a closer with bulky teammates like Complete Forme Zygarde and Altered Forme Giratina.

In PvE battles, Enamorus can threaten opponents with its high Attack stat and powerful Fairy-type moves. It is outclassed only by Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie in terms of DPS, but critters like Hero Forme Zacian and Xerneas deal more overall damage.
