Calm Mind Enamorus has the ability to both break apart teams by spamming its STAB moves and coverage, as well as setup late in the game with Calm Mind and Draining Kiss. This Enamorus set should not simply Calm Mind as soon as it comes into the game, but instead, the player should evaluate if it's better to attack first and weaken the opposing Enamorus check before boosting. Earth Power can be swapped with Mystical Fire if the player prefers to hit Revavroom hard without needing to break its Air Balloon, but sacrifices coverage versus pokemon like Volcanion and Empoleon. The EV spread gives Enamorus enough Speed to outspeed uninvested base 60s like Swampert and Empoleon, that may not invest in Speed due to desiring a slow Flip Turn pivot, with maxed Special Attack to hit as hard as possible. Enamorus is a great abuser of Tera, either choosing Ground for an Electric immunity and stronger Earth Power, a more defensive Tera like Poison or Steel which block Toxic status form Pokemon such as Okidogi and Fezandipiti, or Electric to resist Jirachi’s Iron Head and become immune to its Body Slam paralysis.
Due to Enamorus’s great immunities, resistances, and general bulk, it can fit on many different teams' playstyles. Bulky Offense teams in particular appreciate its breaking power and ability to act as a late-game sweeper while offering dragon and ground immunities. Hippowdon is an excellent teammate, as it provides an electric immunity that sets up Stealth Rocks to capitalize off the switches Enamorus forces, and chips down Enamorus checks like Moltres and Rotom-H with sand while Enamorus avoids damage completely due to Overcoat. Volt Switch Cobalion is a partner that both resists Poison and Steel-type attacks from Revavroom, and lures in Moltres while Volt Switching and bringing a teammate that stops the bird from healing. Choice Scarf Gardevoir can help clean up games after Enamorus has weakened the opponent’s Moonblast switch-ins, use healing wish to bring Enamorus back to full health, or use Trick to steal a check such as Moltres and Rotom-H's Heavy-Duty Boots, assisting Enamorus in beating them later. Another omnipresent staple on Bulky Offense teams, Cyclizar, provides some speed control and Rapid Spin support so Enamorus can more easily switch in on potential Knock Offs from Zapdos-G and opposing Cyclizar. Enamorus is also a good pick for Hyper Offense teams for its aforementioned immunities and ability to be extremely dangerous after just one Calm Mind.
