Fantasy Cup Rules: Dual Destiny Season

The Fantasy Cup (Great League) runs for two weeks, offering a longer competitive window. Only Dragon, Steel, and Fairy-type Pokémon at or below 1500 CP are permitted. This limited type pool creates both challenges and strategic opportunities.

The Fantasy Cup allows for the use of newer, less common types, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types' weakness to themselves and Fairy types presents a significant hurdle. Steel types, however, possess no inherent weakness to the other allowed types, making them a valuable asset.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

The limited type pool simplifies prediction of opponent strategies. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to minimize weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are particularly effective against Steel, while dual Poison types are advantageous against Fairy types.

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO

Before building your team, analyze your strongest Pokémon within the 1500 CP limit and allowed types. Prioritize Pokémon with strong PvP attacks and decent defenses to manage opponent shields effectively. Here are some suggested team combinations:

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

This team offers balanced typing, providing advantages against Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Azumarill is a powerful lead, while Alolan Dugtrio counters Steel types. Strategic switching is key to maximize type matchups.

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

This Steel-focused team offers variety for handling other Steel types. Excadrill's popularity makes it a strong contender. Heatran provides fire-type coverage, but be wary of Water types.

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

Melmetal's high attack and limited weaknesses make it a powerful asset. Wigglytuff counters Fighting and Dragon types, while Turtonator adds Dragon-type coverage and counters Steel types.

These are just a few examples. Experiment to find the best strategy for your Pokémon and secure your Fantasy Cup victories. Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
