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
The Fantasy Cup allows for diverse team compositions compared to the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types' weakness to themselves and Fairies presents a significant hurdle. Steel, however, is uniquely positioned, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types.
How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team
Limited type options simplify planning. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to mitigate weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are particularly effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy Pokémon.
Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO
Analyze your best Pokémon (1500 CP or less) within the allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers with decent defense 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 balanced typing, countering Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Azumarill is a powerful 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 strong contender. Heatran provides Fire-type coverage, but be wary of Water types.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
Melmetal’s offensive power is complemented by Wigglytuff's coverage against Fighting and Dragon types. Turtonator adds Dragon-type offense and counters Steel types.
Experiment with these team compositions to find your optimal strategy and dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup! Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
