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 of Dragon, Steel, or Fairy type. This creates unique strategic challenges.

Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO

This cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Note that Dragon is weak to itself and Fairy, while Steel is the only type without inherent weakness to the others.

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 counter Steel, while Poison types are effective against Fairy.

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO

Choose Pokémon with strong PvP attacks and decent defense. Prioritize type matchups and shield management. Here are some team combinations:
