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, while Steel has no inherent weakness to the other two types.
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 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 team combinations:
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Azumarill | Water/Fairy |
 Alolan Dugtrio | Ground/Steel |
 Galarian Weezing | Poison/Steel |
This team offers balanced typing, providing advantages against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
A Steel-focused team with type variety. Excadrill's popularity makes it a strong contender. Be mindful of Water-type counters to Heatran.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
This team utilizes Melmetal's offensive power, Wigglytuff's defensive capabilities, and Turtonator's Dragon-type attacks.
