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 of Dragon, Steel, or Fairy type. This creates unique strategic challenges.
Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO
This cup allows for the use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, creating interesting matchups. Steel-type Pokémon have a type advantage, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types.
How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team
The limited type pool simplifies planning. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to mitigate weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are particularly effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy.
Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO
Before building your team, analyze your best options 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 good type coverage against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy opponents. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio counters Steel types. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
This Steel-focused team provides variety. Excadrill is a popular choice. Heatran offers Fire-type coverage, but be wary of Water types.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
Melmetal is a powerful attacker. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types. Turtonator adds Dragon-type offense and counters Steel types.
These are just a few examples. Experiment to find the best strategy for you. The extended duration allows ample time to refine your approach and maximize rewards.
