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 limited type pool presents both challenges and strategic opportunities.

This cup allows for creative team compositions, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types' vulnerability to themselves and Fairies requires careful consideration. Steel types are uniquely advantageous, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other permitted types.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

The limited type pool simplifies opponent prediction. Many players will likely utilize Steel types, necessitating counter-strategies. Dual-typed Pokémon with Ground moves are effective against Steel, while dual Poison types are beneficial against Fairy opponents.

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO

Before building your team, analyze your best Pokémon within the 1500 CP limit and allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and balanced defenses. Here are some potential team combinations:

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

This team offers balanced type coverage against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy opponents. Strategic switching is key to maximizing type advantages.

Pokémon	Type
Excadrill	Ground/Steel
Alolan Sandslash	Ice/Steel
Heatran	Fire/Steel

This Steel-focused team provides variety for handling other Steel-type Pokémon. Excadrill's popularity makes it a strong contender. However, be wary of Water-type counters to Heatran.

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

This team utilizes Melmetal's powerful attacks, Wigglytuff's versatility, and Turtonator's Dragon-type coverage.

These are just a few examples. Experiment to find the strategy that best suits your Pokémon and playing style. The extended duration of the Fantasy Cup allows ample time for refinement and victory.
