Fantasy Cup Rules for Pokémon GO: Dual Destiny Season
This Great League Fantasy Cup runs for two weeks, offering a longer competitive window. Remember the CP and type restrictions: 1500 CP maximum, Dragon, Steel, or Fairy types only. This creates both challenges and opportunities for strategic gameplay.
Best Fantasy Cup Teams for Pokémon GO
The Fantasy Cup allows for the use of newer, less common types, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types, weak to both themselves and Fairy types, present a significant challenge. 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 team planning. Many players will likely favor Steel types to mitigate weaknesses. However, consider dual-typed Pokémon to broaden coverage. Ground-type moves are particularly effective against Steel, while dual Poison types can counter Fairy opponents.
Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO
Before building your team, analyze your best Pokémon within the 1500 CP limit and allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and balanced defenses to manage opponent shields. Here are some 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 opponents. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
This Steel-focused team offers variety for handling other Steel-type opponents. Be mindful of Water-type counters to Heatran.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
This team utilizes Melmetal's offensive power, Wigglytuff's defensive capabilities, and Turtonator's Dragon-type coverage.
These are just a few examples. Experiment and find the strategy that best suits your playstyle to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup. Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
