Fantasy Cup Rules for Pokémon GO: Dual Destiny Season
The Fantasy Cup (Great League) runs from December 3rd to 17th. Pokémon must be 1500 CP or less and be Dragon, Steel, or Fairy type. This limited type pool presents unique strategic challenges.
Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO
This cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Note that Dragon is weak to itself and Fairy, while Steel has no inherent weakness to the other two types.
How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team
The limited type pool simplifies team planning. Many players will likely favor Steel types to minimize weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are particularly effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy.
Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO
Before building your team, assess your best Pokémon (1500 CP or less) within the allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and balanced defenses. Here are some winning combinations:
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Azumarill | Water/Fairy |
 Alolan Dugtrio | Ground/Steel |
 Galarian Weezing | Poison/Steel |
This team offers balanced typing, providing advantages against all three types. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio and Galarian Weezing provide coverage against Steel and Fairy types respectively. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
This Steel-focused team offers variety. Excadrill is a popular choice, while Heatran provides fire-type coverage. Be mindful of Water-type counters to Heatran.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
This team utilizes Melmetal's powerful attacks, Wigglytuff's Fairy/Normal typing, and Turtonator's Fire/Dragon coverage.
Experiment with these team compositions and refine your strategy to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup. Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
