Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup: Team Guide

The Pokémon GO Battle League's Dual Destiny Season introduces exciting new specialized cups, starting with the Fantasy Cup. This guide helps you craft a winning team.

Fantasy Cup Rules for Pokémon GO: 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 for Pokémon GO

This cup allows for strategic use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Note that Dragon is weak to itself and Fairy, making Steel a potentially advantageous type due to its resistance to Fairy attacks.

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 effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy.

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO

Choose Pokémon with high PvP attack and defense stats within the 1500 CP limit. Strategic switching is key. Here are some team combinations:

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

This team offers diverse type coverage. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio and Galarian Weezing provide strategic counters.

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

A Steel-focused team with Excadrill, Alolan Sandslash, and Heatran provides variety within the Steel type. Be mindful of Water-type counters to Heatran.

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

This team uses Melmetal's power, Wigglytuff's Fairy/Normal typing, and Turtonator's Fire/Dragon combination for diverse matchups.

Experiment with these and other combinations to find your winning strategy. The extended duration allows ample time to refine your approach and secure those Battle League rewards.
