Fantasy Cup Rules: 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
This cup allows for diverse strategies, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types are weak to themselves and Fairy types, while Steel types have no inherent weakness to the other allowed types.
How To Build a Strong Team
Limited type choices simplify planning. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to minimize weaknesses. Consider dual-type Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy.
Suggested Team Combos
Before building your team, assess your best Pokémon (1500 CP or less) within the allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and balanced defenses. Here are some winning combinations:
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Azumarill | Water/Fairy |
 Alolan Dugtrio | Ground/Steel |
 Galarian Weezing | Poison/Steel |
This team offers balanced typing, countering Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types effectively. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio handles Steel types. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
A Steel-focused team with variety. Excadrill is a popular choice, while Heatran offers Fire-type coverage. Beware of Water types.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
This team features Melmetal's powerful attacks, Wigglytuff's versatility, and Turtonator's Dragon/Fire coverage.
Experiment with these teams and refine your strategy to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup. Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
