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 of 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, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon-type Pokémon are weak to themselves and Fairy types, posing a significant challenge. Steel-type Pokémon are uniquely advantageous, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types.
How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team
The limited type pool simplifies strategic 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 type coverage against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy opponents. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio counters Steel types. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
A Steel-focused team with varied subtypes. Excadrill's popularity makes it a strong contender. Heatran provides fire power, but be wary of Water-type counters.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
This team features Melmetal's powerful attacks, Wigglytuff's versatility against Fighting and Dragon types, and Turtonator's Dragon-type coverage and Steel-type counter.
Experiment with these team combinations and refine your strategy to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup. Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
