Elite Pocket Monster Squads for Fantasy Cup Dominance

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 guide helps you craft a winning team.

Fantasy Cup Team Building Strategies

The Fantasy Cup's type restrictions create both limitations and opportunities. Steel-types are advantageous due to their lack of inherent weaknesses to the other allowed types. However, a balanced team is crucial, considering the strengths and weaknesses within the allowed types. Dual-typed Pokémon, especially those with Ground-type moves to counter Steel, or Poison-type moves to counter Fairy, are highly valuable.

Suggested Team Combos

Here are three sample team combinations, highlighting diverse type coverage and strategic synergy:

Team 1: Balanced Type Coverage

Pokémon	Type
Azumarill	Water/Fairy
Alolan Dugtrio	Ground/Steel
Galarian Weezing	Poison/Steel

This team offers broad type coverage, countering Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types effectively. Azumarill provides strong offense, while Alolan Dugtrio and Galarian Weezing offer strategic counters.

Team 2: Steel-Type Focus

Pokémon	Type
Excadrill	Ground/Steel
Alolan Sandslash	Ice/Steel
Heatran	Fire/Steel

This team prioritizes Steel-type Pokémon with varied secondary typings for broader coverage. Excadrill's popularity makes it a strong contender. Heatran adds fire power, but be mindful of Water-type counters.

Team 3: Powerhouse Offense with Coverage

Pokémon	Type
Melmetal	Steel
Wigglytuff	Fairy/Normal
Turtonator	Fire/Dragon

This team balances Melmetal's offensive power with Wigglytuff's coverage and Turtonator's Dragon-type presence.

Remember to assess your available Pokémon within the CP and type limits before finalizing your team. Experiment and adapt your strategy throughout the two-week cup duration to maximize your chances of victory.
