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 one of three types: Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. This creates unique strategic challenges.
Best Fantasy Cup Teams
This cup allows for Pokémon types often excluded from previous cups. Dragon types are weak to themselves and Fairy types, creating a strategic hurdle. Steel is uniquely advantageous, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other permitted types.
How To Build a Strong Team
The limited type pool simplifies team planning. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to minimize weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are particularly effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy Pokémon.
Suggested Fantasy Cup Team Combos
Before building your team, analyze your best Pokémon within the 1500 CP limit and allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and decent defense to manage opponent shields. Here are some winning 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 types. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio counters Steel types. Strategic switching is key.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
This Steel-focused team offers variety. Excadrill's popularity makes it a viable option. Heatran provides Fire-type coverage, but be wary of Water types.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
Melmetal's power and limited weaknesses are advantageous. Wigglytuff handles Fighting and Dragon types, while Turtonator offers Dragon-type offense and counters Steel types.
These are just a few examples. Experiment to find your winning strategy and claim those Battle League rewards!
