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

The Fantasy Cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Note that Dragon is weak to itself and Fairy, making Steel a strong defensive choice as it resists both.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

Limited type options simplify planning. Many players will likely use 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

Choose Pokémon with high PvP attack and defense stats within the 1500 CP limit. Strategically switch Pokémon to exploit type matchups.

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

This team offers balanced type coverage. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio and Galarian Weezing provide coverage against Steel, Dragon, and Fairy types. 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 high attack and limited weaknesses are advantageous. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types, while Turtonator adds Dragon and Fire-type offense.

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