Fantasy Cup Rules: Dual Destiny Season
The Fantasy Cup (Great League Edition) 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 prediction, but careful consideration is key. Many players will utilize Steel types to mitigate weaknesses. Dual-type Pokémon with Ground moves are effective against Steel, while dual Poison types counter Fairy.
Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO
Consider Pokémon with strong PvP offense and defense. Prioritize type matchups and shield management. Here are some team suggestions:
Pokémon | Type |
