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, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types are weak to themselves and Fairy types, presenting a significant hurdle. Steel types, however, lack inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types, making them a strategic cornerstone.
How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team
The limited type pool simplifies team planning. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to minimize 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 to manage opponent shields. Here are some team combinations:
| Pokemon | 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 provides Steel-type coverage. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokemon | 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.
| Pokemon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
Melmetal's offensive power is complemented by Wigglytuff's Fairy/Normal typing and Turtonator's Fire/Dragon coverage.
These are just a few team examples. Experiment to find the best strategy and maximize your rewards in the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup.
Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
