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 one of three types: Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. This creates unique strategic challenges.
Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO
This cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, each presenting strengths and weaknesses. Steel is particularly advantageous, lacking inherent weaknesses 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 mitigate weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are 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 to manage opponent shields. Here are some winning combinations:
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Azumarill | Water/Fairy |
 Alolan Dugtrio | Ground/Steel |
 Galarian Weezing | Poison/Steel |
This team offers diverse typing for advantages against all three opponent types. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
This Steel-focused team provides variety for countering other Steel-type opponents. Beware of Water-type counters to Heatran.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
This team utilizes Melmetal's power, Wigglytuff's versatility, and Turtonator's offensive capabilities.
Experiment with these team compositions and refine your strategy throughout the extended Fantasy Cup duration to maximize your Battle League rewards.
