Prepare your team for the Fantasy Cup in Pokémon GO.
The Fantasy Cup is back in Pokémon GO PvP untilDecember 17. The Fantasy Cup operates as the Great League (1500 max CP) with additional restrictions. That means that your usual Great League team will not apply.
The Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup is focused on Dragon, Steel and Fairy-type Pokémon. Only Pokémon that have any of those three types are eligible. As per normal Great League rules, these Pokémon must be 1500 CP or below.
So, what are some of the best Pokémon you can use to rack up victories in the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup?
What is the best team for the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup?
It’s hard to always say there is a one size fits all best team for any single Pokémon GO PvP Cup or League. After all, Pokémon GO PvP is all about counters, specific movesets and thinking outside the box to get one up on your opponent. So bear that in mind.
However,statistically one of the best teams for the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup is Azumarill, Galarian Weezing and Alolan Dugtrio.Shadow Galarian Weezing and Shadow Alolan Dugtrio will also be fantastic.
This team gives you a good range of type coverage, with these Pokémon having a range of moves in a range of categories. In addition, two of these Pokémon don’t need XL candy in order to reach the top end of the 1500 CP limit. That means that you don’t need to spend a lot of resources for what is a temporary cup. Azumarill, which does require some XL candy, is a good Pokémon for the standard Great League.
