Enamorus is a powerful Calm Mind sweeper and wallbreaker that is powerful enough to break through many foes. Earth Power gives Enamorus the ability to damage Galarian Slowking significantly, as well as targeting Gholdengo, Clodsire, and Heatran and OHKOing offensive Kingambit after a Calm Mind. Substitute is a great utility move, allowing Enamorus to block revenge killing attempts as well as avoid status moves, preventing Pokemon like Gliscor and Clodsire from affecting it with Toxic. Taunt is an alternative option that, as well as also blocking Toxic, can block walls like Corviknight and Clodsire from being able to recover and prevent opposing sweepers like Volcarona from setting up and beating it one-on-one. Leftovers provides Enamorus with a consistent recovery option, whereas Heavy-Duty Boots removes its weakness to Stealth Rock. Tera Ground can be used to increase the strength of Earth Power as well as flip Enamorus's weakness to Poison-type moves like Galarian Slowking's Sludge Bomb to a resistance. It's also useful to immediately remove Enamorus's weakness to Electric, allowing it to block Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and defeat it with Moonblast. Tera Steel turns many of Enamorus's key move weaknesses into resistances, including Galarian Slowking's Sludge Bomb, Weavile and Meowscarada's Triple Axel, Gholdengo's Make It Rain, and Dragonite's Extreme Speed, which allows it to set up a Substitute or Calm Mind and punish the aforementioned Pokemon. Tera Fairy boosts the power of Enamorus's Fairy-type STAB moves, allowing it to secure OHKOs on Kyurem and Zamazenta.

Enamorus benefits from more offensive team structures where it can be used to support its teammates with its ability to boost up and sweep through teams. Enamorus's typing makes it extremely dangerous to Fighting-, Dragon-, and Dark-types like Great Tusk, Roaring Moon, and Ting-Lu, respectively, while also turning Pokemon like Gliscor and Landorus-T into setup fodder. This opens up teammates such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Cinderace to play more freely with Enamorus able to threaten out their shared checks. In return, Cinderace is able to support Enamorus by providing entry hazard control in the form of Court Change. Enamorus is not particularly bulky, so it's vulnerable to Pokemon that it can't KO easily and can KO it back in turn. One of the most prominent Pokemon that fits this description is Galarian Slowking, which can take all of Enamorus's attacks and threaten it in return with Sludge Bomb. Kingambit is a great teammate to have as a switch-in to Sludge Bomb and Future Sight that can also force out Galarian Slowking. Kingambit also checks Gholdengo, which is another Pokemon that's difficult for Enamorus to deal with, as well as helping with priority from Sucker Punch, threatening faster foes like Deoxys-S and Iron Boulder. Bulkier Pokemon that can handle Enamorus's attacks, such as Volcarona and Blissey, present a problem that Enamorus can't get around on its own. Having teammates like Roaring Moon, Zamazenta, and Ogerpon-W can help in breaking through Blissey, while Pokemon like Dragonite and Gouging Fire can check Volcarona. Great Tusk can also support Enamorus with Rapid Spin as a way of getting rid of Stealth Rock if Enamorus isn't running Heavy-Duty Boots. Offensive teammates like Serperior and Gholdengo appreciate Enamorus's ability to weaken checks like Clodsire; in return, Gholdengo can help deal with Galarian Slowking and Corviknight.

Enamorus is a powerful setup sweeper and wallbreaker that uses Calm Mind to become strong enough to break through opponents like Zamazenta with Moonblast. (CM isn't really to break through Zamazenta - AoA Zamazenta has a roll to get OHKOed by unboosted Moonblast. You prob don't need to list a specific example like this here) Earth Power is a solid coverage move that OHKOs Kingambit (Just FYI it doesn't OHKO bulky Kingambit at +1) after a Calm Mind and gives Enamorus the ability to damage Galarian Slowking significantly. (Earth Power isn't just Enam's best option into Gking - it's also necessary to hit Gholdengo, Clodsire, and other key targets like Heatran) Alternative coverage options that may be worth considering include Sludge Bomb for opposing Enamorus and Hatterene, (This isn't ever seen) Mystic Mystical Fire to help with Air Balloon Gholdengo, (If this is being mentioned then maybe list how it hits Corviknight, though you beat Corv anyway unless it's Brave Bird - Mystical Fire is just not common in general) and Tera Blast to have a sudden new STAB option that your opponent wouldn't be expecting. (What type of Tera blast? This is also not common, no Tera types give you that useful of an extra STAB. Also, are all these options slashed with Earth Power? I'd prob list extra moves (if any) as options over Sub or Taunt since you never want to drop EP - the one other option I'd maybe suggest mentioning is Draining Kiss over Moonblast but that's up to you) Substitute is a great utility move allowing Enamorus to avoid a turn of damage and potentially use that to set up another boost with Calm Mind. (This is not a good representation of what Substitute is for, if your opponent attacks it's not denying damage or allowing another CM; Substitute is instead relevant to block revenge killing attempts. More importantly, you can talk about how it avoids status moves, notably making Enamorus completely immune to anything typical Gliscor and Clodsire sets can do to it) Taunt is an alternative option that can deny entry hazards (This is not really relevant on a CM sweeper) and status moves like Thunder Wave (Only 2 Pokemon click TWave in OU right now, one of which being the faster Dragapult, so Toxic is more important to list) and Toxic. (What is using Toxic against it? Also, note that Taunt denies walls from being able to use recovery moves against it and also denies opposing setup sweepers from boosting vs it) Leftovers provides Enamorus with a consistent recovery option, whereas Heavy-Duty Boots removes its weakness to Stealth Rock. Tera Ground can be used to immediately remove Enamorus’ weakness to Electric-type attacks, allowing it to block Raging Bolt’s Thunderclap and defeat it with Moonblast. (This is not the purpose of Tera Ground, though it is useful. Instead, Tera Ground powers up Earth Power while also flipping its weakness to Poison-type moves from Pokemon like Galarian Slowking.) Tera Fairy boosts the power of Enamorus’ STAB, allowing it to secure KOs on Kyurem and Zamazenta that otherwise wouldn’t have been guarantees. Tera Steel turns many of Enamorus’ key weaknesses into resistances, including Kingambit’s Iron Head, (Kingambit's Iron Head isn't too relevant here as you are faster and Tera Ground would usually be more useful into it bc of the stronger Earth Power) Kyurem’s Ice Beam, (You also outspeed and deal massive damage to Kyurem with Moonblast, with Tera Fairy being more useful into it. You could maybe talk about using Tera Steel to turn Kyurem into setup fodder but yeah, it's never good into Enamorus anyway. Faster Ice-type attacks like Weavile and Meowscarada's Triple Axel are more relevant, especially as both OHKO Enam behind a substitute as they're multi-hit moves) Iron Boulder’s Mighty Cleave, and Galarian Slowking’s Sludge Bomb. (This is good to do in order of relevance - Galarian Slowking is far more relevant than Iron Boulder, so list it first here. Tera Ground is also better into Iron Boulder, as Tera Steel makes you weak to CC / EQ so they kill you next turn anyway while Enam can't OHKO it. Also, what can you do with turning the weaknesses into resistances? For example, with Tera Steel Enam can set up a Substitute or a CM for free on Galarian Slowking, or punish a Choice Scarf Gholdengo clicking Make it Rain by turning it into setup fodder.)

Enamorus benefits from more offensive team structures where it can be used to support its teammates with its ability to boost and threaten out certain Pokemon. (Not really - it's quite frail and doesn't safely switch into much) Enamorus’ Fairy-typing makes it extremely dangerous to Fighting- and Dragon-types, which are very prominent in the meta, including like Great Tusk, Dragapult, Roaring Moon, and Zamazenta. (Remember to consider more than the type chart here - Tera Flying Acrobatics from Roaring Moon OHKOs Enamorus, while Boots Zamazenta can OHKO it with Heavy Slam or Stone Edge.) This opens up teammates such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Gliscor (Gliscor doesn't really fit here, it actually checks some of these Pokemon and wouldn't typically be paired with an offensive CM Enamorus) to play more freely with Enamorus able to threaten out their shared checks. Enamorus is not particularly bulky, so it’s vulnerable to Pokemon that it can’t KO easily and can KO it back in turn. One of the most prominent Pokemon that fits this description is Galarian Slowking, which can take all of Enamorus’ attacks, even Earth Power, and take it out threaten it in return with Sludge Bomb. Kingambit is a great teammate to have as a switch in to Sludge Bomb and Future Sight that can also force out Galarian Slowking. Kingambit also helps with priority from Sucker Punch, threatening faster opponents like Iron Boulder and Dragapult, (In general, keep things in order of how good they are in OU - Dragapult is much better than Iron Boulder. Also, Dragapult doesn't really beat Enamorus, all the Boots set can do is Thunder Wave or Hex for ~35% and it gets OHKOd by Moonblast) as well as checking Gholdengo which is another Pokemon that’s difficult for Enamorus to deal with. Bulkier Pokemon that can handle Enamorus’ attacks, such as Volcarona, Clodsire, and Blissey, present a problem that Enamorus can’t get around on its own. (CM Enamorus can get around most Clodsire quite easily with Taunt) Having teammates like Great Tusk, Landorus-Therian, and Iron Valiant with Psyshock can help in breaking through these walls. (All 3 of these lose to Volcarona, you can make a point about Iron Valiant being able to lure and weaken it for Enamorus though) Great Tusk can also support Enamorus with Rapid Spin, as a way of getting rid of Stealth Rock if you’re not running Heavy-Duty Boots.

(Are there any offensive teammates that appreciate Enamorus being able to weaken or beat targets like Clodsire? In return, what other Pokemon can help break Pokemon like Galarian Slowking or Air Balloon Ghold that it can struggle against?)

Enamorus is a powerful setup sweeper and wallbreaker that uses Calm Mind to become strong enough to break through opponents. (This can be rephrased a little, CM is a little self-explanatory) Earth Power is a solid coverage move that OHKOs offensive Kingambit after a Calm Mind and gives Enamorus the ability to damage Galarian Slowking significantly, as well as targeting Gholdengo, Clodsire, and Heatran and OHKOing offensive Kingambit after a Calm Mind. (Just rearranged this a little to emphasise better that Earth Power is hitting those Pokemon that resist Moonblast) Substitute is a great utility move allowing Enamorus to block revenge killing attempts, as well as avoid status moves, preventing Pokemon like Gliscor and Clodsire from effecting you with Toxic. Taunt is an alternative option that can block walls (Like who?) from being able to recover and opposing sweepers from being able to set up and 1v1 it. (It's worth emphasising why you want to prevent opposing sweepers from setting up against it - Volcarona could be a good example of this. Also, Taunt still blocks Toxic so that can be mentioned here too) Leftovers provides Enamorus with a consistent recovery option, whereas Heavy-Duty Boots removes its weakness to Stealth Rock. Tera Ground can be used to increase the strength of Earth Power, as well as flip its weakness to Poison-type moves like Galarian Slowking’s Sludge Bomb. It's also useful to immediately remove Enamorus’ weakness to Electric-type attacks, allowing it to block Raging Bolt’s Thunderclap and defeat it with Moonblast.

Enamorus benefits from more offensive team structures where it can be used to support its teammates with its ability to boost up and sweep through teams. Enamorus’ Fairy-typing makes it extremely dangerous to Fighting- and Dragon-types, like Great Tusk, Dragapult, and Walking Wake. (Maybe not Wake as it's faster and does a ton with Hydro Steam, OHKOing under Sun which you usually see Wake on - a more defensive Pokemon that doesn't really threaten Enamorus like Ting-Lu could be worth listing here. Could also maybe mention how it turns Gliscor and Landorus-T into setup fodder too, since the 3 Pokemon that you listed like Enam doing that against those two) This opens up teammates such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Cinderace to play more freely with Enamorus able to threaten out their shared checks.

Having teammates like Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Iron Valiant with Psyshock can help in breaking through these walls. (The first two don't break Blissey, they just threaten it out - you could list some stronger Pokemon like Roaring Moon / Zamazenta / Ogerpon-W that can take advantage of or force out Blissey. For Volcarona, a good check could be something like Dragonite / Gouging Fire) Iron Valiant in particular helps by luring in Volcarona and weakening it for Enamorus to finish off later. (This is a nice synergy on paper, but tbh most teams don't really have room to fit Valiant + Enamorus together so you could prob leave it off) Great Tusk can also support Enamorus with Rapid Spin, as a way of getting rid of Stealth Rock if you’re not running Heavy-Duty Boots. Offensive teammates like Serperior and Choice Scarf Gholdengo (Honestly it helps out a lot for any Ghold set, Raging Bolt could also be really good to list here) appreciate Enamorus' ability to weaken checks like Clodsire; in return, Gholdengo can help deal with Galarian Slowking and Air Balloon Gholdengo with Shadow Ball. (Maybe swap this out for something like Zamazenta, since it's a little risky to use your own Gholdengo against opposing Ghold)

Enamorus is a powerful Calm Mind sweeper and wallbreaker that is powerful enough to break through many opponents. Earth Power gives Enamorus the ability to damage Galarian Slowking significantly, as well as targeting Gholdengo, Clodsire, and Heatran and OHKOing offensive Kingambit after a Calm Mind. Substitute is a great utility move allowing Enamorus to block revenge killing attempts, as well as avoid status moves, preventing Pokemon like Gliscor and Clodsire from effecting you with Toxic. Taunt is an alternative option that, as well as also blocking Toxic, can block walls like Corviknight and Clodsire from being able to recover and opposing sweepers like Volcarona from being able to set up and 1v1 it. Leftovers provides Enamorus with a consistent recovery option, whereas Heavy-Duty Boots removes its weakness to Stealth Rock. Tera Ground can be used to increase the strength of Earth Power, as well as flip its weakness to Poison-type moves like Galarian Slowking’s Sludge Bomb. It's also useful to immediately remove Enamorus’ weakness to Electric-type attacks, allowing it to block Raging Bolt’s Thunderclap and defeat it with Moonblast. Tera Fairy boosts the power of Enamorus’ STAB, allowing it to secure OHKOs on Kyurem and Zamazenta. should probably mention this after delving into the benefits of tera steel, as to indicate that tera steel is generally a better option than tera fairy Tera Steel turns many of Enamorus’ key weaknesses into resistances, including Galarian Slowking’s Sludge Bomb, Weavile and Meowscarada's Triple Axel, and Gholdengo's Make It Rain, which allows Enamorus to set up a Substitute or Calm Mind and punish the aforementioned Pokemon. not required but just a suggestion, perhaps you could mention dragonite's extreme speed here as well?

Enamorus benefits from more offensive team structures where it can be used to support its teammates with its ability to boost up and sweep through teams. Enamorus’ Fairy-typing makes it extremely dangerous to Fighting-, Dragon-, and Dark-types, like Great Tusk, Dragapult, and Ting-Lu respectively enamorus is outsped by dragapult and risks getting KO'd or statused, mention a different dragon here instead while also turning Pokemon like Gliscor and Landorus-T into setup fodder. This opens up teammates such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Cinderace to play more freely with Enamorus able to threaten out their shared checks. you could also mention cinderace providing enamorus w/ hazard control thanks to court change Enamorus is not particularly bulky, so it’s vulnerable to Pokemon that it can’t KO easily and can KO it back in turn. One of the most prominent Pokemon that fits this description is Galarian Slowking, which can take all of Enamorus’ attacks and threaten it in return with Sludge Bomb. Kingambit is a great teammate to have as a switch in to Sludge Bomb and Future Sight that can also force out Galarian Slowking. Kingambit also checks Gholdengo, which is another Pokemon that’s difficult for Enamorus to deal with, as well as helping with priority from Sucker Punch, threatening faster opponents like Deoxys-S and Iron Boulder. Bulkier Pokemon that can handle Enamorus’ attacks, such as Volcarona and Blissey, present a problem that Enamorus can’t get around on its own. Having teammates like Roaring Moon, Zamazenta, and Ogerpon-W can help in breaking through Blissey, while checks like Dragonite and Gouging Fire can deal with Volcarona. Great Tusk can also support Enamorus with Rapid Spin, as a way of getting rid of Stealth Rock if you’re not running Heavy-Duty Boots. Offensive teammates like Serperior and Gholdengo appreciate Enamorus' ability to weaken checks like Clodsire; in return, Gholdengo can help deal with Galarian Slowking and Corviknight Zamazenta. zamazenta only occasionally runs super effective coverage for enamorus, whereas corviknight is a much more consistent check to it (and is also substantially more vulnerable to gholdengo)

  • effect vs affect- effect is the noun, affect is the verb. "Toxic has an effect", "Toxic affects Blissey by badly poisoning it"
  • there should always be a comma before respectively
  • generally when you're talking about weaknesses and resistances, it should be "Enamorus is weak to Electric", not "Enamorus is weak to Electric-type moves"- UNLESS there are specific examples given immediately and directly referenced, like the sludge bomb one
  • be careful of unnecessary/lateral changes- that last "Pokemon > checks" and "deal with > check" was unnecessary because it was already correct and had no underlying prose/structural issues. try to justify it to yourself with an objective reason every time you make a change
  • also be careful of curly apostrophes (although they're extremely annoying to spot)
  • lowkey would recommend checking sections other than OU... the writing quality in OU is generally very high with only a few errors, so it makes their analyses not super useful to amcheck. def varies though

Minor QC comment, this is following only a mention of the Fairy typing when the Flying typing is what lets it turn Gliscor and Landorus-T into setup fodder, think it should be "while its Flying typing turns Pokemon like Gliscor and Landorus-T into setup fodder."
Can just remove the type entirely and make it "Enamorus's typing makes it extremely dangerous...". That lets it make sense with the threatening Fighting-, Dragon-, and Dark-types part immediately after while also fixing the Gliscor and Lando part.
