Fantasy Cup Rules: Dual Destiny Season
The Fantasy Cup (Great League) features a two-week run. Pokémon must be 1500 CP or less and be one of three types: Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. This creates unique strategic challenges.
Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO
This cup allows for diverse strategies, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types' weakness to themselves and Fairies presents a challenge. Steel is the only type without inherent weaknesses to the other two.
How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team
Limited type options simplify planning. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to mitigate weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are particularly effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy.
Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO
Before building, assess your best Pokémon (1500 CP or less) within the allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and balanced defenses. Here are some team 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. 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 |
This Steel-focused team offers variety. Excadrill's popularity makes it a viable option. Heatran provides Fire-type coverage, but be wary of Water types.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
Melmetal's power and limited weaknesses are advantageous. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types. Turtonator adds Dragon-type coverage and power against Steel.
Experiment with these team compositions to find your winning strategy and claim those Battle League rewards. Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
