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

The Fantasy Cup allows for diverse team compositions, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types' self-weakness and vulnerability to Fairy types present a significant hurdle. Steel is the only type without inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types, making it a popular choice.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

The limited type pool simplifies team planning. Many players will utilize 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 within the 1500 CP limit and allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and balanced defenses to manage opponent shields. Here are some effective team combinations:

PokémonType
Azumarill AzumarillWater/Fairy
Alolan Dugtrio Alolan DugtrioGround/Steel
Galarian Weezing Galarian WeezingPoison/Steel

This team offers good type coverage. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio counters Steel types. Strategic switching is key.
