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

The Fantasy Cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types' weakness to themselves and Fairy types creates interesting dynamics. Steel is uniquely 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 within the 1500 CP limit and allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers with decent defense to manage opponent shields.

Pokémon	Type
Azumarill	Water/Fairy
Alolan Dugtrio	Ground/Steel
Galarian Weezing	Poison/Steel

This team offers balanced typing, providing advantages against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio counters Steel. 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 strategic inclusion. Heatran provides Fire-type coverage, but be mindful of Water types.

Pokémon	Type
Melmetal	Steel
Wigglytuff	Fairy/Normal
Turtonator	Fire/Dragon

Melmetal's power and limited weaknesses are advantageous. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types. Turtonator adds Dragon-type coverage and counters Steel types.

These are just a few team suggestions. Experiment to find the best strategy for you and claim those Battle League rewards!
