Fantasy Cup Rules for Pokemon GO: Dual Destiny Season

The Fantasy Cup: Great League Edition is an extended event, running from December 3 to December 17. In this cup, your Pokemon must be at or below 1500 CP and belong to one of the permitted types: Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. This unique set of rules presents both challenges and opportunities for players looking to strategize their battles.

Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokemon GO

The Fantasy Cup allows players to utilize the newer types that were absent in the previous Retro Cup. Dragons are weak to themselves and Fairies, adding complexity to your team-building strategy. Steel types, however, have no inherent weakness to the other two allowed types, making them a strong contender in this competition.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

With only three types permissible in the Fantasy Cup, your options are narrowed, yet this can streamline your strategy. Many players might gravitate towards Steel types to sidestep the weaknesses of Dragons and Fairies. Consider dual typings that offer coverage against Steel types, such as Ground moves, and also prepare for Fairy or Dragon types. Dual Poison types can be particularly effective against Fairy opponents.

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokemon GO

When assembling your team, focus on Pokemon within the 1500 CP cap and the allowed types. Choose Pokemon with strong PvP attack and decent defense to outlast opponent shields, paving the way for your closer to deliver devastating blows. Here are some combinations that could lead you to victory in the Fantasy Cup:

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

This Pokemon GO Fantasy Cup team offers versatility with its mix of dual typings, providing advantages against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Azumarill serves as a robust starter, while Alolan Dugtrio can counter Steel types effectively. Employ a strategy of switching Pokemon to capitalize on type matchups.

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

For those who wish to capitalize on Steel types, this team provides variety and preparedness against other Steel-type teams. Excadrill's recent popularity in Raids makes it a strategic choice. Heatran introduces Fire typing to your arsenal, but be wary of Water-type opponents like Azumarill.

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

Melmetal is a formidable PvP attacker with minimal weaknesses due to its pure Steel typing. Wigglytuff can handle Fighting and Dragon types, while Turtonator offers Dragon typing and firepower against Steel opponents.

These examples illustrate just a few of the balanced teams you might consider for the Pokemon GO Fantasy Cup this season. With the extended duration, you have ample time to refine your strategy and secure those coveted Battle League rewards.
