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' weakness to themselves and Fairies presents a significant hurdle. Steel types, however, lack inherent weaknesses to the other permitted types, making them a strong foundation.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

The limited type pool simplifies team planning. Many players will likely utilize 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 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, 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 option. Heatran provides Fire-type coverage, but be wary of Water types.

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

Melmetal's power and limited weaknesses make it a strong choice. Wigglytuff handles Fighting and Dragon types, while Turtonator provides Dragon and Fire coverage.

Experiment with these teams and refine your strategy to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup. Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
