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.

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 planning. Many players will likely favor Steel types to minimize weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves counter Steel, while Poison types are effective against Fairy.
