The Pokémon GO Battle League's Dual Destiny Season introduces exciting new 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.
Fantasy Cup Team Strategies
This cup offers both challenges and opportunities. Dragon types are weak to themselves and Fairy types, while Steel types possess a favorable matchup against Fairy types. This necessitates careful team composition.
Building a Winning Team
The limited type pool simplifies prediction, but careful consideration is crucial. Many players will likely favor Steel types to mitigate weaknesses. However, incorporating dual-typed Pokémon with Ground or Poison moves provides valuable coverage against Steel and Fairy types respectively.
Recommended Team Combinations
Before building your team, assess your strongest Pokémon within the 1500 CP limit. Prioritize strong PvP attackers with decent defense to manage opponent shields effectively. Below are a few sample team combinations:
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
![]() | Water/Fairy |
![]() | Ground/Steel |
![]() | Poison/Steel |
This team offers balanced type coverage, countering Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types. Azumarill provides a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio and Galarian Weezing offer strategic switching options.
