The Pokémon GO Battle League's Dual Destiny Season introduces specialized cups, starting with the Fantasy Cup. This guide helps you build a winning team.

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.
The Fantasy Cup allows for Dragon, Steel, and Fairy types, unlike the previous Retro Cup. Dragon's weakness to itself and Fairy presents a challenge. Steel is uniquely advantageous, resisting both Dragon and Fairy.
Limited type options simplify strategic planning. Many players will likely utilize Steel types to minimize weaknesses. Consider dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Ground-type moves counter Steel, while Poison types are effective against Fairy.
Choose Pokémon under 1500 CP with strong PvP attack and defense stats. Balance your team to counter all three types.
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Azumarill | Water/Fairy |
 Alolan Dugtrio | Ground/Steel |
 Galarian Weezing | Poison/Steel |
This team offers balanced type coverage. Azumarill is a strong lead, while Alolan Dugtrio and Galarian Weezing provide counterplay against Steel and Fairy 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 strong contender. 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, while Turtonator offers Dragon-type offense and Steel-type counterplay.
Experiment with these team compositions and refine your strategy throughout the extended Fantasy Cup. Good luck, Trainers!
