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 creates unique strategic challenges.
Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO
This cup allows for diverse strategies, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types are weak to themselves and Fairy types, while Steel types have no inherent weakness to the other allowed types. This makes team composition crucial.
How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team
The limited type pool simplifies planning. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to avoid 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. Here are some effective combinations:
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Azumarill | Water/Fairy |
 Alolan Dugtrio | Ground/Steel |
 Galarian Weezing | Poison/Steel |
This team offers balanced typing, countering Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio handles Steel types. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
This Steel-focused team offers variety. Excadrill's popularity makes it a viable choice. Heatran provides fire power, but be mindful of Water types.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
Melmetal’s strength lies in its offensive capabilities. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types, while Turtonator provides Dragon-type coverage and tackles Steel types.
These are just a few team options. Experiment to find the best strategy for you and claim victory in the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup.
