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.

This cup allows for strategic use of newer, powerful types unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon types are weak to themselves and Fairy types, creating interesting matchups. Steel types are uniquely positioned, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types.

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 particularly effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy types.

Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos for Pokémon GO

Before building your team, assess your best Pokémon (1500 CP or less) within the allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and balanced defenses. Here are some winning combinations:
