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 presents unique strategic challenges.

Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO

This cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon's self-weakness and vulnerability to Fairy types create a significant hurdle. Steel, however, is uniquely positioned, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other two types (Fairy is weak to Steel).

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

The limited type pool simplifies prediction. Many will likely favor Steel types to mitigate weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are effective against Steel, while dual Poison types counter Fairy.

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO

Analyze 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 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 effectively. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio provides Steel-type coverage. 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 choice. 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 are advantageous. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types. Turtonator offers Dragon-type offense and Steel-type coverage.

These are just a few team suggestions. Experiment and find what works best for you to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup.
