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

This cup allows for diverse strategies, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types are weak to themselves and Fairies, while Steel types have no inherent weakness to the other allowed types.

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 effective against Steel, and Poison types counter 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. Here are some winning combinations:

Pokémon	Type
Azumarill	Water/Fairy
Alolan Dugtrio	Ground/Steel
Galarian Weezing	Poison/Steel

This team offers strong coverage against all three types. Azumarill is a powerful 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 power, but be wary of Water types.

Pokémon	Type
Melmetal	Steel
Wigglytuff	Fairy/Normal
Turtonator	Fire/Dragon

This team features the powerful Melmetal, Wigglytuff for Fighting and Dragon coverage, and Turtonator for Dragon and Steel matchups.

These are just a few examples. Experiment to find your winning strategy and claim those Battle League rewards.
