Fantasy Cup Rules for Pokemon GO: Dual Destiny Season

The Fantasy Cup: Great League Edition is an extended event, running for two weeks from December 3 to December 17. In this cup, your Pokemon must have a CP of 1500 or below and belong to one of the permitted types: Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. This unique type restriction presents both a challenge and an opportunity for players to strategize their battles effectively.

Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokemon GO

The Fantasy Cup allows players to leverage the strengths of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, which were absent from the previous season's Retro Cup. Dragons are notably weak against themselves and Fairy types, adding a layer of complexity to team composition. Steel types, however, stand out as they have no inherent weakness to the other permitted types, making them a solid choice.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

Given the limited type options in the Fantasy Cup, strategic team-building becomes crucial. Many players might favor Steel types to avoid the vulnerabilities of Dragon and Fairy types. Consider dual typings to enhance your coverage, especially against Steel types. Dual Ground-type moves can be particularly effective, while dual Poison types can serve well against Fairy opponents.

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokemon GO

When constructing your team, focus on Pokemon within the 1500 CP limit and the allowed types. Choose robust PvP attackers with good defensive capabilities to outlast your opponent's shields, setting up your closer for decisive victories. Here are some team combinations that could lead you to success in the Fantasy Cup:

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

This well-rounded team offers advantages against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types thanks to its diverse dual typings. Azumarill is a formidable starter in PvP, while Alolan Dugtrio provides coverage against Steel types. Strategically swapping Pokemon to optimize type matchups will be key.

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

If you're leaning heavily into Steel types, this team provides variety to tackle other Steel-heavy lineups. Excadrill's popularity, fueled by recent Raid appearances, makes it a strategic choice. Heatran adds firepower but be cautious of Water types like Azumarill.

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

Melmetal's strength as a PvP attacker and its single Steel typing minimize weaknesses. Wigglytuff handles Fighting and Dragon types effectively, while Turtonator brings Dragon and Fire power to combat Steel opponents.

These team compositions offer a balanced approach to tackling the Fantasy Cup this season. With the extended duration, you have ample time to refine your strategy and secure those coveted Battle League rewards.
