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.

This cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, previously restricted in the Retro Cup. Dragon's self-weakness and vulnerability to Fairy types present a challenge. Steel is uniquely advantageous, resisting both Dragon and Fairy.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

The limited type pool simplifies team planning. Many players will likely favor Steel types to minimize 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, assess 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 winning combinations:

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 strategic counters.

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 choice. Heatran provides Fire-type coverage, but be mindful of Water-type counters.

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

This team utilizes Melmetal's offensive power. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types, while Turtonator adds Dragon and Fire-type offense.

Experiment with these team compositions and refine your strategy to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup! Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
