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 belong to one of three types: Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. This restriction creates both challenges and opportunities for strategic gameplay.

This cup allows for the use of Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, presenting unique matchups. Steel-types are advantageous due to their lack of inherent weaknesses against the other two permitted types.

How To Build a Strong Fantasy Cup Team

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

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO

Before building your team, analyze your strongest Pokémon (1500 CP or less) within the allowed types. Prioritize Pokémon with strong PvP attacks and decent defenses. The following are sample team combinations:
