Stallbreaker Enamorus uses its distinctive offensive profile to be a proficient stallbreaker, capable of wearing down stall structures consisting of Chansey, Skarmory, Flygon, and Clefable as well as taking advantage of other defensive staples, such as Hydrapple, Rotom-Wash, and Buzzwole. Moonblast alongside Fairium Z grants Enamorus the burst damage to break through Clefable as well as OHKO Pokemon like Rotom-Wash and Mega Aerodactyl expecting to survive an unboosted Moonblast. Superpower alongside Contrary allows Enamorus to snowball incredibly effectively against slower teams, as it can survive Jirachi's Iron Head at +1, which is often the best switch in against Enamorus on stall teams. It also slams Chansey and lets Enamorus break through Skarmory more easily. Boosting its Defense also allows Enamorus to take hits from defensive and offensive answers alike, such as Heavy Slam Celesteela, Scizor, Mega Gallade, and Choice Scarf Mienshao. Earth Power snipes Iron Moth on the switch in, Aegislash, and the rare Pecharunt or Skeledirge that may be seen on stall teams. Taunt is essential to block recovery and utility moves from defensive Pokemon that Enamorus cannot easily 2HKO like Mega Venusaur and Celesteela. While Fairium Z is generally recommended to give Enamorus the ability to break through Clefable more easily, Leftovers is an option on teams already utilizing the Z-Move elsewhere to grant Enamorus extended longevity, especially against teams where the main mode of damaging it is Chansey and Blissey's Seismic Toss. It also ensures Enamorus remains healthy against bulkier sand teams. Heavy-Duty Boots is an option on teams lacking entry hazard removal but requires more precise play with Enamorus to break through stall teams. A Naive nature ensures Enamorus can take advantage of the Defense boost from Superpower more effectively, and it doesn't significantly worsen matchups against revenge killers like Iron Moth and Thundurus. Stallbreaker Enamorus is only seen on offensive teams looking for a threat capable of wearing down defensive structures efficiently. While Enamorus can remove most Pokemon on stall teams, compositions utilizing Mega Venusaur or Amoonguss can make it difficult for Enamorus to easily break through. Teammates like Aegislash, Scizor, and Serperior can help Enamorus wear these two down, handle them defensively, or lure them in and cripple them with status. Enamorus also appreciates their defensive profile, as they are capable of switching into faster threats such as Iron Boulder and Alakazam that force Enamorus out. Enamorus also struggles against more offensive teams due to its middling Speed, lack of consistent wallbreaking power, lack of opportunities to switch in, and reliance on prediction to catch foes on the switch in. Teammates like Mega Latias, Excadrill, and Tyranitar can temporarily check threats like Iron Moth and Zeraora on offensive teams, as well as provide hazard support to help Enamorus wear down Celesteela and Mega Venusaur. Magnezone is a notable teammate, able to trap and remove Celesteela, Scizor, and Jirachi, which give Enamorus trouble. Enamorus is also weak to Stealth Rock, so teammates like Rotom-Wash and Excadrill can help mitigate this weakness while also taking advantage of holes left in the opposing team left by Enamorus.

Enamorus carves a niche for itself as a decent speed control option, sporting good coverage with the ability to outspeed other common Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Urshifu-R, Tapu Lele, and Hisuian Samurott. Choice Scarf Enamorus also gets the jump on offensive threats like Choice Specs Iron Valiant, as well as Dragonite and Garchomp with a Speed boost. Earth Power hits targets such as Heatran, Kingambit, and Gholdengo, preventing them from using Enamorus as setup fodder. Mystical Fire enables it to hit Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor, Pokemon that would otherwise switch in comfortably. Healing Wish gives weakened teammates one more chance to wallbreak or sweep if they get statused or chipped heavily while provided a free switch-in that can help versus bulkier teams.
Enamorus is mostly used on bulky offense teams and hyper offense where its Speed is valued to handle common wallbreakers such as Mega Latios and Weavile. Enamorus can often be revenge killed by priority users such as Choice Band Weavile and Raging Bolt, making defensive teammates such as Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn good; the latter can set up entry hazards for Enamorus to clean through weakened teams more easily. Mega Scizor can pivot Enamorus in safety with U-turn and helps it overwhelm shared checks like Heatran and Gholdengo. In return, Enamorus can provide Healing Wish support for Mega Scizor if it has been statused by its checks like Zapdos and Moltres. Enamorus lacks the immediate power to pose a threat to common defensive cores with Pokemon such as Toxapex, Gliscor, and Ferrothorn; thus, it values strong wallbreakers like Mega Medicham and Kyurem to pressure these cores. Enamorus is also weak to Stealth Rock, so it appreciates partners like Great Tusk and Terapagos that can remove the hazard. In return, Enamorus's Healing Wish can help Great Tusk recover from status, and it can restore Terapagos's Tera Shell. Enamorus can also support Terapagos in overwhelming shared checks like Heatran and Toxapex. Allies like Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Ogerpon-W greatly appreciate Enamorus's ability to heal them in a pinch if needed. In return, Zamazenta and Ogerpon-W can pressure checks like Heatran and Melmetal.

Enamorus is a potent sweeper, capable of beating common defensive staples in Skarmory, Mega Sableye, and Clefable. Its expansive coverage in Earth Power and Mystical Fire allows it to hit every Steel-type in the tier, such as Celesteela, Skarmory, and Scizor, for super effective damage, securing either an OHKO or a 2HKO on them with a Calm Mind boost. It also allows Enamorus to work around other Fairy-resistant foes such as Skeledirge and Iron Moth as well as offensive checks in Hisuian Arcanine and Victini, while its Speed tier allows it to outspeed and OHKO Mienshao. Taunt is an option to potentially beat and deny recovery from status users like Clefable, Hippowdon, and Chansey that try to slow down or stall Enamorus. Similarly, Iron Moth enjoys many of its checks being removed, particularly Tyranitar and Latias. However, Enamorus's frailty and lack of immediate power makes it difficult for it to break past checks such as Mega Venusaur and Celesteela, which threaten to OHKO it with Sludge Bomb and Heavy Slam, respectively, and aren't OHKOed after a Calm Mind boost. Similarly, Chansey can use Toxic and Seismic Toss to take advantage of Enamorus's lack of longevity. This means it appreciates partners such as Tyranitar and Bisharp, which are capable of Pursuit trapping special walls like Chansey, as well as Victini, which can break past Celesteela as well as provide pivoting to bring Enamorus in safely. Its Speed tier also means it is pressured by faster threats such as Iron Moth and Keldeo. This means it enjoys speed control from partners such as Alakazam and Choice Scarf Hydreigon, which are able to outspeed its offensive checks. To compensate for its relative frailty, it also enjoys slow pivots to bring it in safely, such as Slowbro, Slowking, and Scizor, and in return it provides an offensive check to the Dark-types they are threatened by, such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, and Hydreigon.

Choice Specs allows Enamorus to be more immediately fearsome against bulky teams, now threatening 2HKOs on most Fairy-resistant foes without the need for a turn of setup. In addition to Earth Power and Mystical Fire, Superpower allows it to threaten a 3HKO on Chansey. This also allows Enamorus to potentially snowball through weakened teams once faster foes like Alakazam have been removed. Alternatively, Psychic hits Poison-types that aren't weak to Earth Power, such as Mega Venusaur and Amoonguss. In addition to Pursuit trappers like Tyranitar, speed control from the likes of Choice Scarf Victini, and slow pivots like Slowbro, Choice Specs Enamorus functions as an excellent partner to special sweepers such as Iron Moth, Keldeo, and Blacephalon due to its ability to remove checks to it without competing for the same team slot. These options can also be used to remove Steel- and Poison-types to allow Enamorus to use its powerful Moonblast more freely. As Enamorus is weak to Stealth Rock, it appreciates being partnered with strong entry hazard removal options, such as Rapid Spin Excadrill and Rotom-Wash, which allow it to more easily work around opposing entry hazard setters such as Hippowdon and suicide leads like Excadrill. Due to its Choice Specs, however, Enamorus becomes prediction-reliant against teams that stack multiple Fairy-resistant foes, so Stealth Rock and Knock Off support from Clefable, Tyranitar, and Scizor allows it to more effectively break down its checks over the course of a game.

With Choice Scarf, its high Special Attack, and the utility of Healing Wish, Enamorus is an effective form of speed control that can also sweep or facilitate another partner's sweep late-game. Earth Power targets Steel-types like Excadrill and Aegislash, Fire-types like Victini and Iron Moth, and it's also Enamorus's strongest attack against Mega Venusaur. Mystical Fire hits specific Steel-types that don't mind Earth Power, namely Skarmory, Scizor, and Celesteela; its Special Attack-lowering effect also provides some utility against Autotomize variants of the latter. Alternatively, Grass Knot can 2HKO Ground-types like Hippowdon and Gastrodon. Finally, Focus Blast serves as a middle ground option against Steel-types like Excadrill and Skarmory while also OHKOing Tyranitar, though its shaky accuracy combined with Enamorus's frailty makes it risky to use. Enamorus best fits on offense teams looking for a form of speed control that can revenge kill fast threats such as Thundurus. Due to its weakness to Stealth Rock, entry hazard removers such as Excadrill and Rotom-Wash are essential teammates. Due to Enamorus's low bulk, pivots such as Thundurus can help it safely get onto the field. Enamorus also appreciates the defensive backbone provided by bulky partners such as Amoonguss, Tangrowth, and Skamory; Pokemon that resist Steel like the latter are important as checks to Scizor and Sand Rush Excadrill. Enamorus lacks the power to OHKO certain foes like Victini and Thundurus from full health, while they can often cripple or OHKO it back, making hazard setters like Excadrill and Mew good partners as they can chip these foes into KO range. Enamorus struggles to get past certain Poison-types like Mega Venusaur, making checks to them like Mega Latias useful. Enamorus also has no way of getting past Blissey and Chansey, making physical wallbreakers such as Buzzwole necessary teammates. Healing Wish is best used to either give a sweeper like Dragon Dance Tyranitar or Celesteela a second opportunity to sweep, or a bulky wallbreaker like Scizor the health needed to continue breaking holes into the opposing team.
