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
The Fantasy 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 necessitates careful team composition. Steel is uniquely advantageous, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types.
How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team
Limited type options simplify prediction of opponent choices. Many players will likely utilize Steel types. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves effectively counter Steel, while dual Poison types are beneficial against Fairy.
Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO
Before building your team, 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 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. 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 |
This Steel-focused team offers variety. Excadrill's popularity makes it a strong contender. 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 minimal weaknesses are advantageous. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types. Turtonator offers Dragon-type coverage and counters Steel.
These are just a few team examples. Experiment and refine your strategy to maximize your Fantasy Cup success.
