Everything we know about Enamorus Incarnate Forme

Enamorus made its debut in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and is a member of the Forces of Nature quartet. Interestingly, this means it's the only Pokémon in a Mythical or Legendary group to appear in a different generation to its other members, with those originating in Gen 5, while also being the only female member of said quartet.

Enamorus Therian Forme.

The name Enamorus appears to have taken inspiration from the word amorous, which can be used to describe feeling desires - a definition which connects to this Pokemon's Love-Hate category.

Meanwhile, the design for Enamorus Incarnate Forme could, like the other Forces of Nature, take inspiration from a Kami - deities from the Shinto religion. In particular, this Pokémon resembles Ugajin, the harvest and fertility kami, who's body takes the form of a coiled snake and has been depicted with both a man and woman's head.

If we look outside of Japanese mythology, then Enamorus could also be inspired by the Anemoi from Greek mythology who represented the four seasons. Enamorus could take inspiration from Zephyros who was considered to be the west wind and, depending on the tale, either the father or servant of Eros, the god of love.

Good luck catching Enamorus Incarnate Forme in Pokémon Go!
