Introduction:
As Valentine's Week approaches, so does the highly anticipated Therian Enamorus raid in Pokémon GO. But is this love-themed Pokémon worth the effort? Let's dive into the stats, performance, and potential of Therian Enamorus in both PvE and PvP.

Performance in PvE
Raids:
Therian Enamorus shines as a Fairy raid attacker with a strong moveset. However, its stats trade (more defense, less attack) compared to Incarnate Enamorus make it less effective. The recent removal of Dazzling Gleam from its Charged Attack movepool further hinders its performance.
Comparison with Top Fairy Attackers:
When compared to top Fairy attackers, Therian Enamorus falls behind due to its lower DPS. Access to Dazzling Gleam would improve its performance, but it still wouldn't surpass Incarnate Enamorus.
Flying Raid Attacker:
As a Flying raid attacker, Therian Enamorus holds its own, despite lacking a Flying-type Fast Attack. Incarnate Enamorus remains the preferred choice.
Raid Day Benefits:
The Therian Enamorus Raid Day offers players an opportunity to stock up on Enamorus candies, both normal and XL.
Performance in PvP
Ideal Moveset: Fairy Wind + Mystical Fire & Moonblast
In PvP, the stats trade benefits Therian Enamorus, and the updated movepool allows it to excel in Ultra League with wins against Cobalion, Corviknight, and Florges. In Master League, it holds its own with wins against Mewtwo, Zekrom, and Kyurem (Black).
Great League:
Therian Enamorus is currently above the 1500 CP threshold required for Great League, making it a viable option.
Ultra League:
While Therian Enamorus has some wins in Ultra League, it still faces more losses. Its double resistances prove useful against Giratina (Altered), Moltres (Galarian), and Virizion, but it loses to Walrein, Lapras, Lickilicky, Empoleon, and Gastrodon.
Master League:
In Master League, Therian Enamorus shines in 2v2 shield scenarios, with more wins than losses. Xerneas, Reshiram, Dialga (Origin), and Eternatus are among its new wins. Saving shields is key to maximizing its potential.
Future Potential
The introduction of Enamorus' signature move, Springtide Storm, could significantly boost its performance in the future. Players should prepare for potential meta shifts.
Conclusion
Therian Enamorus has its strengths in both PvE and PvP, but it may not be a meta-breaking Pokémon. Its niche roles and potential for anti-meta picks make it an interesting addition to any team.
