The Pokémon GO Battle League's Dual Destiny Season introduces exciting specialized cups, demanding strategic team building. The Fantasy Cup, running from December 3rd to 17th, presents a unique challenge: Pokémon must be 1500 CP or less and be Dragon, Steel, or Fairy type.
This article provides team-building strategies and suggested team compositions for success in the Fantasy Cup.
Fantasy Cup Rules:
Pokémon must be 1500 CP or below and of Dragon, Steel, or Fairy type.
Team Building Strategies:
The limited type pool necessitates careful consideration. Steel-type Pokémon offer a defensive advantage, lacking inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types. However, a balanced team incorporating dual-typed Pokémon is crucial for broader coverage. Ground-type moves are particularly effective against Steel, while Poison types counter Fairy.
Suggested Team Combos:
Here are three sample team combinations, highlighting type advantages and strategic considerations:
Team 1:
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Azumarill | Water/Fairy |
 Alolan Dugtrio | Ground/Steel |
 Galarian Weezing | Poison/Steel |
This team offers diverse type coverage, with Azumarill as a powerful lead. Alolan Dugtrio and Galarian Weezing provide strategic counters to Steel and Fairy types.
Team 2 (Steel Focus):
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Excadrill | Ground/Steel |
 Alolan Sandslash | Ice/Steel |
 Heatran | Fire/Steel |
This team prioritizes Steel-type Pokémon, offering resilience but requiring careful consideration of Water-type counters.
Team 3 (Balanced Approach):
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Melmetal | Steel |
 Wigglytuff | Fairy/Normal |
 Turtonator | Fire/Dragon |
This team balances offensive power with type coverage, using Melmetal's strength and Wigglytuff and Turtonator's versatility.
Remember to consider your Pokémon's individual stats and movesets when finalizing your team. Good luck in the Fantasy Cup!
