Calm Mind Enamorus-Therian 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. Enamorus-T sports a Fairy / Flying typing, granting it resistances that help it to enter the field on choice locked Fighting-type Pokemon like Mienshao and Galarian Zapdos, or on Ground-type Pokemon like Krookodile lacking Gunk Shot and Hippowdon lacking Stone Edge. Cyclizar and Chesnaught provide good defensive pokemon for Enamorus-T to wreak havoc on, but it must fear Knock Off removing its Heavy-Duty Boots in longer games. Choosing the correct point in the game to set up is crucial, as this Enamorus-T set does not invest in much bulk, and still has trouble breaking through checks like Moltres and Rotom-Heat when they’re healthy. Earth Power can be swapped with Mystical Fire if the player prefers to hit Amoongus and Revavroom hard without needing to break the latter’s Air Balloon, but sacrifices coverage versus Pokemon like Volcanion and Empoleon. Draining Kiss is used to keep Enamorus-T healthy and facilitate a sweep, while Moonblast helps give Enamorus-T a powerful STAB to immediately threaten offensive Pokemon like Blastoise and Iron Leaves that comfortably live unboosted Earth Power and Draining Kiss. Heavy-Duty Boots keeps Enamorus-T safe from losing 25% of its from Stealth Rocks. The EV spread gives Enamorus-T 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 and an odd HP value to guarantee the maximum number of switch-ins to Stealth Rock damage if Enamorus-T loses its Heavy-Duty Boots. Enamorus-T is a great abuser of Tera, choosing Ground to trap Thundurus-Incarnate and Rotom-Heat from volt switching to a teammate and boosting it’s already strong Earth Powers. More defensive Tera types like Poison and Electric block Toxic and Paralysis respectively, making Enamorus-T less vulnerable to status from Pokemon such as Okidogi, Fezandipiti, and Jirachi while resisting their STAB attacks, potentially setting up a free Calm Mind.
Due to Enamorus-T’s great immunities, resistances, general bulk, it can fit on many different teams' playstyles. Bulky Offense teams in particular appreciate its immunities to Dragon and Ground moves as well as a double resistance to Fighting. Enamorus-T can switch in on and immediately threaten slow defensive pokemon like Slowbro that threaten Scald burns on Enamorus-T’s physical attacking teammates. Hippowdon is an excellent teammate, as it provides an electric immunity that sets up Stealth Rocks to capitalize off the switches Enamorus-T forces, and chips down Enamorus-T checks like Moltres and Rotom-H with sand while Enamorus-T avoids damage completely due to Overcoat. Cobalion partners well with Enamorus-T by resisting Poison and Steel-type attacks from threats like Revavroom and Bisharp. Volt Switch Cobalion can chunk the fire bird and bring in a teammate that stops the bird from healing, or Stone Edge can blow Moltres away and eliminate one of the only resistances to Enamorus-T’s STAB combination. Choice Scarf Gardevoir can help clean up games after Enamorus-T has weakened the opponent’s Moonblast switch-ins, use Healing Wish to bring Enamorus-T back to full health, or use Trick to steal a check such as Moltres and Rotom-H's Heavy-Duty Boots, assisting Enamorus-T 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 Galarian Zapdos and opposing Cyclizar. Enamorus-T is also a good pick for hyper offense teams for its aforementioned immunities and ability to be extremely dangerous after just one Calm Mind.
