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 Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Remember Dragon types are weak to themselves and Fairy types, while Steel types have no inherent weakness to the other allowed types.
The limited type pool simplifies team 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 Pokémon.
Before building your team, assess your best options within the 1500 CP limit and allowed types. Prioritize strong PvP attackers and balanced defenses to manage opponent shields. Here are some team 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 counters Fighting and Dragon types. Turtonator adds Dragon-type offense and counters Steel types.
Experiment with these team compositions and refine your strategy to dominate the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup. Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
