Prepare your team for the Fantasy Cup
The Fantasy Cup is back in Pokémon GO PvP until August 2. The Fantasy Cup operates as the Great League (1500 max CP) with a range of additional restrictions. That means that your usual Great League team might not apply.
The Pokémon GO Jungle Cup only allows Fairy, Steel or Dragon-type Pokémon. All members of your team must have at least one of these types.
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 the best team for the Pokémon GO Fantasy Cup is Azumarill, Registeel and Galarian Stunfisk.
This team gives you a good range of type coverage, with these Pokémon having a range of moves in a range of categories. Additionally, only one of these Pokémon need XL candy in order to reach the top end of the 1500 CP limit. If the Azumarill XL Candy is an issue, swap in Tapu Fini.

Be warned that while several Shadow Pokémon are all very useful in the Fantasy Cup, Shadow Pokémon are more expensive to power up, and much harder to get optimised IV values for. For a temporary PvP Cup, it might not be worth the investment.
However, using any of those Pokémon will stand you in good stead for your battles in the Fantasy Cup. Good luck out there Trainers!
