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 one of three types: Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. This creates unique strategic challenges.
Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO
This cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Note that Dragon is weak to itself and Fairy, creating an interesting dynamic. Steel, however, holds an advantage, resisting both Dragon and Fairy attacks.
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 particularly 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 winning combinations:
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Azumarill | Water/Fairy |
 Alolan Dugtrio | Ground/Steel |
 Galarian Weezing | Poison/Steel |
This team offers good type coverage against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy. 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 |
A Steel-focused team with variety. Excadrill's popularity makes it a strong contender. Heatran adds Fire-type coverage, but be wary of Water types.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
This team features the powerful Melmetal, with Wigglytuff providing coverage against Fighting and Dragon types. Turtonator offers Dragon-type offense and counters Steel.
Experiment with these team compositions and refine your strategy to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup! Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
