Informational note on pet dungeon "sustainability":
Most pet dungeons become completely obsolete once you have completed all objectives and all associated achievements/pets/titles. This is true for: Stratholme, Blackrock Depths, The Celestial Tournament, The Deadmines. Some pets you can buy with the currency from The Deadmines come in different breeds, so make sure you get one of each before you forget about the dungeon.
"Sustainable" dungeons are: The Wailing Critters, Gnomeregan
Pets from these dungeons (via currency, or via random drop from the reward satchel) are tradable, so it is worth doing these two dungeons every week if you are interested in Gold/Euros/Dollars.
As an example, average prices for EU Azjol-Nerub, acc. to undermine.exchange as of 2023-12-30:
Gnomeregan:
Mechantula: 3.5k
Mechanical Cockroach: 16k
Alarm-O-Dog: 64k
Leper Rat: 70k
Wailing Critters:
Young Venomfang: 10k/17k
Cavern Mocassin: 23k/44k
Everliving Spore: 270k
Edit: Fixed realm name for example source; detailed the pet rewards for the two good dungeons; minor other changes; typos. (edited)

I just posted a comment to a strat, then added "Thanks for sharing." and it shows the "(edited)" tag.
IMHO, this tag only makes sense if it appears when the post has been edited after the visitor's last visit to this page. As it is now, it is just clutter, as it does not carry any useful information. (Well, it might tell the reader that the author is a bit stupid or distracted, as he was apparently incapable of posting the entire post in one go ;-)

You are right, the tag can be useful if the post has been edited after a reply has been posted.
And that brings me to a better solution (my suggestion to apply the tag only after the visitor's last visit to the page is not really helpful in this case):
– Add a grace period: Apply the Edited tag only if the edit was made later than, say, 3 minutes after the original post. (This is not uncommon on forums, e.g the Discourse software has a setting for this.)
– Ideally, add the date of the edit, so, if we see a seemingly incoherent reply, we can clearly see if the edit might be the cause.

But, honestly, dailies through EK and Kalimdor are not worth doing. Only very low level carry pets will get any XP, and that not very much. And it's a lot of travelling time.
You can get very good character XP and some pet XP - better than EK/Kalimdor dailies, at least - from wild battling.
But what I would recommend is to put War Mode on, and park your alt at the pet area in Legion Dalaran.
Legion Dalaran repeatable tamers are up maybe twice a week on average, BUT when one is up, you can get full tamer XP for each battle for your pets, so a pet levelled in 4 battles, and also excellent character XP, with no travelling time, and you can repeat as much as you want while the tamer is up.
See the Powerlevelling Guide https://www.wow-petguide.com/Guide/44/Powerleveling_Guide for more about levelling with wild battles, and the Legion Tamers.

Meanwhile, I wouldn't let that stop you using Magpie. There is no confidential information being exchanged, and nothing that is prone to malicious use. Anyway, the SSL still holds; it's just that it's dur for renewal.

I don't know which battle within Stratholme you're talking about, so I can't check.
My preferences are
Preferred: Staff Pick, Fast, Level
Neutral: TCG, Breed, Shop, Script
Unfavoured: RNG, Long, Tricky, Unobtainable
Now, that might not be the ideal choice for everyone. I can certainly imagine some people Unfavouring Breed, Shop, and TCG, and/or Favouring Script.
But if you try it again with those preferences, you might get a better selection.

Your question would be: is there a way to tell Rematch not to fill an "Any Pet" slot with a pet that will be used elsewhere in the dungeon. Is that right?
If so, the answer is no. When Rematch sees an "Any Pet" string, it does use a random pet.
What I have done in cases where the strat uses "Any Pet" is to import the team into Rematch and then manually fill the "Any Pet" slot with a pet of my choice.
If I have misunderstood your question, please clarify.

@Shadow11, Blizz's "Outdated" check is a fake check, as it just reads a number in the addon's index file (toc). That is, if my addon is completely incompatible with a new game version because of API changes, I can make it "updated" for Blizz' check by just updating that number, even if the addon crashes your game, freezes your computer and drinks your beer.
Many addons that haven't seen updates for months or even years are still 100% compatible. Maybe they are truly abandoned (and still work or not), or maybe the author just decided to not waste his time with toc updates, if the addon is not affected by the last patch changes.

If you go here https://www.wow-petguide.com/Profile/Collection you'll see a blue "Export to Excel" button. Download the sheet, open it in Excel (or google sheets or whichever you prefer) and you'll have a much more detailled list of all pets. It has the ownership percentages included in one of the columns towards the right and you can sort/filter to your liking.
Fair warning though, this percentage is only taking collections into account that are present here on Xu-Fu's, that means mostly people who are into pet battles. The numbers across all WoW are likely much lower.

If you have a roster of the standard Level 25 pets, you will probably find a suitable strat in there. Not so much for Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms, because any Level 25 Blue will just destroy everything you face.

According to your table I would have to add a Lesser Pet Trait in order to accomplish in two turns.
With only Safari Hat it goes 1 --> 17 and then 17 --> 25. Not, as suggested, 17 --> 24.
As said, I think this is not only a Pet-Battle-Week-thingy, the tables seem to be slightly off in general.
PS: Why does the “edited” in posts appear with uninterpreted formatting tags? Or is it just my browser? (edited)

Been a while since I tinkered with those tables ^^ Perhaps there's some other effect stacking onto it? I have to dig into it. Thanks for flagging it!
I'm currently working on another feature that I want to get out first but I've logged it as a bug:

Oh and... the reformatting of the formatting tags here is also a bug :-(

[The “XP” are the gained experience points according to the log.]
Ashley: 1 --> 19 with 13485 XP; table is correct
Vesharr: 1 --> 17 with 11238 XP; table is correct
Teralune: 17 --> 25 with 12647 XP; table says: 17 --> 24 with 13098 XP
Tarr the Terrible: 17 --> 25 with 12647 XP; table says: 17 --> 24 with 13098 XP
Gargra: 13 --> 23 with 14493 XP; table is correct
Cymre Brightblade: 1 --> 17 with 11238 XP; table is correct
Summary:
Your tables are correct for the low-level (1; Ashley, Vesharr, Cymre) and mid-level (13; Gargra) range. But in the high-mid range (17; Teralune and Tarr) it seems Blizz has lowered the XP requirements (i.e., you gain more levels with less XP).
This would also be coherent with what I’ve seen yesterday with the Sir Galveston grind.
BTW: This was on different toon than yesterday; so, unfortunately, no Dark Iron Dwarf bonus racial ;-)

You can look at the ratio of breeds among users of Xu-Fu in the new Pet Statistics, but I wouldn't trust those, I'm afraid. The 2019 Survey has Fiendish Imp at S/S(76%),P/S(13%),P/B(11%), which is sane, while the Statistics show that among Xu-Fu users the numbers are S/S(37%),P/S(32%),P/B(31%) https://www.wow-petguide.com/Pet/71033/Fiendish_Imp/Stats and the vast superiority of the S/S doesn't show up at all.
One problem, though, is that so many of the new pets just don't matter for battling. I've largely stopped caring about Deathroach-ish breeds myself.

We had a WoW break during the time the new exp came out, so playing catch up. (We weren't thrilled about how the general game lore was going.) Loving the new wild pet battle exp. Found out when I was working down my "Go sort out..." list. Usually toss as many similar level queue pets in a capture team as reasonable, for what used to be almost pointless exp. Shocked about the dead leveling 50% deal too, although, would rather never 'enjoy' that if possible during tamer leveling. Still may make the occasional rng or bug issue less of a time waster. Not looking forward to seeing what changed with flurry, etc. One of my favorite things included finding sets of wild pets to use in somewhat reliable strats. Hope that's not broken all of those up.
Too bad the statistics wouldn't use something like max level win results 2 or more to count as a 'battle pet' breed held by the player. Which would still be off, but at least it means the pet of that breed was used in an actual pet battle by at least that player.

What would you like to know?
You should do the quests for the Tamers in Kalimdor (for Horde) or Eastern Kingdoms (for Alliance) and basically keep battling and beating the tamers as soon as you can.
This site doesn't explain the low-level tamers, because they are not hard enough. If you are having problems with one, your best bet is to get an extra level or two with your pets and try again, or capture some new pets that are good against that Tamer's pets.

That's a really, really odd one. Usually when that happens, you are logged into the other Battle.net account *on your browser* (the battle.net app has nothing to do with this).
Just as an explanation, when you hit that "Login with Battle.net" button, Xu-Fu redirects you in the background to battle.net where it checks for authorization. If there is none, it will prompt you (you did this at the very beginning, first time you logged into Xu-Fu's). And if there is already an authorization it throws you right back to Xu-Fu letting the page know which battle.net ID it is. So whichever account is logged in on battle.net, that one will be sent back to Xu-Fu.
If you go to battle.net on Firefox and log out then into the correct account, you say this still happens?
Have you perhaps tried clearing the battle.net cookies as well?
If that doesn't work, there's one more thing you could try: go to your account security settings on Battle.net and check the connected apps on both your accounts. You'll find Xu-Fu in there. Just delete the connection both times and then log out of the battle.net website.
Then go back here and click the button. It will send you to battle.net and ask you to log in - you can then log in with the *correct* bnet account and this should bring you back here.
Sorry for this being so troublesome for you. I hope it will be solved with that but do let me know if you keep having issues!

Just thought I'd introduce those who are unaware to the root meaning of the word that is going to hit this site when Shadowlands launches.
There are so many changes coming that a massive amount of strategies are going to need to be changed. I would like to offer the - at least temporary - solution (I'm not a mod/admin so I don't know if it has already been put forward) of adding tags back to strategies, specifically a tag to denote whether or not the strategy is viable in Shadowlands content (bearing in mind; some people may not have purchased the xpac).

Yeah, we're aware. A tag for Shadowlands already exists and once we know more details about the exact changes coming and what will be affected, we will tag all strategies affected by it. Might be a big clean-up process that will happen with Shadowlands.
By the way, there will also be a Patch 8.3. tag appearing soon on about 200 strategies due to the changes in some weather effects.

I just wanted to check if my comment was posted and if there were some responses. I did not want to post a copy of my comment from 5 hours ago. And, a humble guess, I think the majority of the users are not expecting such behavior either.
Thanks, and, as said, I love your (this) site.

OK. I’ll try it again with this comment reply. I’ll leave the page open and come back in a couple of hours to reload the page. (This was the scenario, IIRC. Though I’m not sure if the problematic comment was a real comment or a reply to a comment, like this one.) Anyway, I’ll report back then.

It would be nice if we wouldn’t have the limit of 990 chars in the Info box of a strat.
I’ve only posted 3 strats so far, but already run into that space problem. See my EnvBert strat with Squashling (https://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?Strategy=4315).
In that Info box I only could squeeze-in the content by shortening many things, down to the gramatical limits, and by omitting some info. I know, I could continue in a comment in the comment section, but this doesn’t feel right. The essential infos should be in one place.
I’m also aware that 990 chars should be more than sufficient in most cases. But there are cases where more info is useful (like the above example), and unless there is a technical 990-characters-hard-limit, please give us more room. If someone really is misusing that box (what for?) you could always edit the post or/and contact the author.
Thanks for considering.

If you can reduce RNG with breed restrictions... then maybe it's better to add them to the pets and not explain what can go wrong with other breeds. Also, I don't see the need to comment on the level pets because that is something that belongs to your pet team (or Rematch strings if you like to add your specific ones).
Most people come here not to read walls of text, they look for the better-rated strategies that match their pet collections, copy&paste stuff they need to import into their addons and only come back if something goes horribly wrong and then mostly to find help in other peoples' comments who also struggled or to find a different team/strategy: I don't think many people wanna read about stuff that already happened to them, they mostly want to see solutions and it's the best way to have them in a well-optimized strategy&team already.
Be honest, does it help when I struggle with this specific strategy and then come back and find something like "if this is happening you are screwed" or "if this is happening and you want pet XP restart, otherwise you win without rewards for your level pet" in your creator comments? I don't think so.
This is not a basic forum so maybe it's better to continue with keeping things short ;-)

About the tooltips themselves… I don't have any clear conclusions one way or the other. Put an effort into it? It's ignored. Leave it alone to keep it tidy? You come out as oblivious and heartless.
Same goes for strategies, a new one? Ignored on behalf of ones that took the spotlight first. And when it's actually noticed? It seems to outweigh another with 300+ flawless executions which somehow stays in the shadow. Therefore, I'm not sure one can account for every visitor upon creating the environment. :-)
The cycle of (tamer) strife can be cruel, and I believe something needs to be done with it nevertheless – but sadly, enough of the philosophy, for at the moment the engineering of more basic aspects has to come first!

First and foremost, thanks for your reply and for your opinion. But I don’t agree with all of your points…
> I personally don't think this infobox needs more characters because it's there for SHORT creator comments to strategy basics or pet choices and IMHO not to explain every single RNG situation players can experience.
IMO the part that really should be kept short and precise is the description (the steps). The Info box, I agree with you, should also be short, but if there is a need for more information, it should be dumped into the Info box. (Not into the description, not into the comments section, for two different reasons, but I think both are obvious.)
Another possibilty would be to squeeze any meta info into the description before “Turn 1”. But this would be a cheap second Info box, and I don’t like the idea to abuse the form that way.
> If you can reduce RNG with breed restrictions... then maybe it's better to add them to the pets and not explain what can go wrong with other breeds.
I think you are referring to the Env Bert strat I have linked. Basically I agree. But you might have noticed that I already had added min power to pet #2, in order to exclude some of the substitutes. Though, I didn’t wan’t to do the same with the Blazehaound (pet #1), because I think the strat is doable also with a suboptimal breed. But maybe you are right and I should just exclude any non-P/P breeds.

You are right here. The Rematch string is part of the Info box, and as such it should be parsed correctly. (The string that contains the correct and breed/damage-specific min health requirements). This should be enough, but, I think there are also folks that aren’t using Rematch. They also should know of the type-specific min health requirements. Unfortunatly the default forms of the page don’t offer any detailed entries for the min health. They only offer one entry (for all damage types), and I always put the worst-case min health there (for pets that are weak against the expected damage type)
> Most people come here not to read walls of text, […]
Well, I think, a “wall of of text” is not defined by the amount of characters. To create a wall of text you need two things: lots of characters, and lots of missing line breaks / paragraphs. I’m completely aware of that, and I’m always trying to section and format my texts in a manner that makes it usable for readers ;) I think the limit of 990 chars is not contributing to avoid walls of text. (It’s easy to build a a wall of text with only 500 chars, but I think you got what I mean…)
> Be honest, does it help when I struggle with this specific strategy and then come back and find something like "if this is happening you are screwed" or "if this is happening and you want pet XP restart, otherwise you win without rewards for your level pet" in your creator comments? I don't think so.
Good question. Me personally, when I use a new strat from somebody else, I always read thru the strat, and in the case I really need to level some pet, I then (likely) exclude strats that are mentioning things like “RNG”, “risk”, etc. But: I’m always happy (when using a new strat) when I see some detailed infos, so that I can estimate what is going to happen. But YMMV.

A lot depends on your roster - what pets you currently have, at what levels, and what breeds. More pets, fully levelled and made Blue, of the right breeds, makes everything easier. Since you haven't linked to a WoW character here, I can't see that, and it's hard to make specific suggestions.
I wrote a forum post here suggesting a development path for a battler. You'll have to decide what stage you're at:
https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/17623632232#post-3
The general directions of development people pursue are:
1. Collecting. Some people collect pets with not a lot of regard for their battling capabilities. However, since some pets are achieved only by battling, for example Wicker Wraith and Stunted Direhorn, even collectors need to pay some attantion to battling.
2. Achieving. There are many pet battling achievements in game, and following the natural trail through the Taming [Continent] achievements up to Pandaria, and then on to the Spirit Tamers, Beasts of Fable and the Celestial Tournament was an epic journey for me and for many others. It's well worth doing. The Celestial Tournament is still, IMO, the pinnacle of PvE pet battling. However, WoD and Legion and BfA have added more battling achievements.
3. Roster development. Distinct from collecting, this is finding the right pets for your toolbox in the right breeds and levelling and if necessary making them Rare with stones, so that you have the right specialist pet for any possible challenge.
4. PvP. Only a small minority of pet battlers spend a lot of time in PvP, but those who do really enjoy it.
Apart from Xu-Fu's here, you can read and join resources like the official Blizzard forums for pet battles, WarcraftPets.com website, or the WarcraftPets Discord, where like-minded addic.... er, battlers ... and more than delighted to answer any questions you might have.
Please ask again if you have any more specific questions!

Only really to expand on Gráinne's comment as regards the 'collecting' and 'roster development' sections - which are, as said 'distinct' although they are intrinsically linked - I would like to point you in the direction of the in-game Achievements > Battle Pets > Collect tab. There are a series of achievements called Raiding With Leashes, pretty much all of which can be completed via the auction house - if you have the gold/inclination - or by completing old raids.
In this content-starved expansion (and it is, it's making people want to do pet battling, isn't it? XD), it's been some small relief to run (short) old content knowing there's a possibility of a worthwhile reward beyond the vague chance of some 75kG pants dropping.

That's because the page is a hobby project by one person who is not a professional web developer or programmer at all. Many of the quirks won't be worked on as long as there are bigger topics open. You can read through the list of tasks and bugs in the devnotes:
https://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?m=DevLog
Regarding the versions, I don't really want to do that right now. There's already a mention of the last update time (use the downwards arrow on a strategy below the pets to open additional details)

Output (as displayed):
Immolate / [ spell=Flame Jet] until won or your pet dies. In the latter case clean up with your starting pets, which should be at pretty good health.
As you see the second spell is not interpreted (displayed) properly. It is displayed in its tag form (source form) instead.

Right now I’m in the middle of that dungeon (and I have done already several runs since 8.1) and I find that this dungeon is underwhelming.
It seems the way to go with at least two thirds of the battles is using an absorbent pet (Emperor and the like). There are only some battles that require some creativity (the Rat and the final one, for example).
For my taste this is pretty poor design. Going thru the most part of the dungeon with an absorbent pet (Emperor Crab, e.g.) is time-consuming and just plain annoying.
They had chances to script some interesting battles, requiring creativity (like in the final battle). No clue why they failed. (As they did with the designs of many WQs, dungeons and other stuff in 8.0/8.1) Negligence? Incapacity?
This was critics, not a rant. (Maybe except the very last part ;)
If I’m missing something, please enlighten me.

In consequence many of the posted strats are outdated.
Of course I will not downvote a strat, if I see that the AI script is no longer the same.
But this is no solution. Many people will come here, without knowledge of the old AI scripts, and I guess they will just downvote strats that don’t work (non-regarding the date).
You could make available a tag (e.g. "8.1"), that the owner of a posted strat can add to his strat, once he has tested it with the new conditions. This way it would be clear to the user if the strat is up-to-date.
Or, maybe even better, just apply a tag “pre-8.1” to any strat that hasn’t been updated. Give the creator of the strat the right ro remove that tag.
Just a raw draft. Think of it.

First I want to thank you for the continued development and implementation of the tools you have created for everyone here. I love coming back to see all the wonderful shiny implementations you are doing, and the fact that people can log in, vote and upscale various posts and strategies. Seeing buttons like "RNG" and "Breed" are such a wonderful addition. And frankly because I am a 'casual' gamer, this site has saved me HOURS of trying out my (failed) strategies and use other people's Pet Loving strats. It has made me somewhat enjoy the new twists that Blizzard has created with various pet battles, and definitely enhances my gaming experience as a avid pet collector.
Thank you for ALL your hard work.
Thank you for sharing the Pet Love.

It saddens me that people such as yourselves, who receive no money for your work, have done more for my success in WoW pet ventures than the Blizzard company itself. Blizzard takes in $12-15 US each month, and has received hundreds of dollars from me over the years. Yet after years of financial and personal commitment to their products, Blizzard cares nothing about my success in their world, particularly when it comes to pet battles and pet collections. Low drop rates, unspoken pet spawning times, and useless customer service help ticket responses pushed me away from the game. If Blizzard had even 20% of the passion for WoW fans that Xu Fu staff demonstrates, I might have stayed. They do not, and I doubt they ever will. As a result of this, I am leaving WoW with no plans to return.
Xu Fu was one of the pest parts of my WoW journey. You all listened to the community, took feedback under advisement, and constantly sought to improve both the user interface and site content. You linked with other sites and we're not threatened by criticism. Cheers to you, Aranesh, and all the other staff. All the best to you in your current and future ventures. Thank you.

Your words for Blizzard are quite harsh, and I do not intend to defend them, that's not my place and not my task ^^ I met a number of their employees over time, and for those individuals, I can vouch that their passion for this game is at least equal to my own.
If that were not the case, most likely I would not invest my own passion into this project myself.
Be that how it may, I am glad to have been part of the positive side for you, and wish you also all the best for yourself!

Like just from my browsing, it seems the recommended pet for me to obtain would be the Zandalari Anklebiter.

In fact, votes for the individual strategies are already on the roadmap :D
There's a few smaller things I want to get done before that. The next update (pretty soon, I'm more than halfway done with that) will add the legion ready checker functionality to all pages. When you are logged in and go to any section, the tables there will automatically check against your collection and tell you what pets you're missing.
After that I will do some really smaller stuff, but then I want to rework the battle tables to include more info. Mainly what breeds are required, what pets the enemy has, upvote option (^^) and some more stuff.
Will take some time, but we're getting there :-)

In Pandaria a failed miserably with all the boss fights and threw in the towel.
I accidentally entered the celestial tournament 6 weeks ago and had no idea what it was or what I was doing.
Then, because I thought Xu-Fu was super cute, I googled him, which is how I found your guide.
I travelled the world, found your recommended pets, started doing dailies, went back to my garrison and started doing the rounds of trainers there. Levelled up most of the pets on your list. Bought a couple. Discovered a plushie and a new achievement.
Now I am proud owner of Trunks, Xu-Fu, Chi Chi and Stardust Bunny. I could not in a million years have done it without you and in some cases your comment section if I was missing a pet. Just 6 more weeks of tourney, which will be a piece of cake now Plushie is booted off the team. And family familiar well on the way.

Click the '+' on the left hand side to create a new tab for your team and name it appropriately (or just use the 'General' tab). Now head back here and use the 'Rematch string' button on your favoured fight to copy the team text.
Back in the Pet Journal Right-click the whichever team button on the right hand side you want to add the team to and select 'Import Teams' from the menu that appears. Press CTRL-V to paste the team data into the box and hit the Save button.
** If the levelling pet slot has level requirements, i.e. Level 10+, just Right-click the blue up arrow in your team, within the team column and select 'Team Preferences' from the menu. Just fill in the appropriate information and you're done**

Then there's the problem with special characters and spaces, these would need to be removed in a unique way because title headers don't like them. And not even starting to speak about other languages. The names are sometimes very different there and use other characters that are not readable by an address line at all.
I'm not trying to make up excuses here! It's something I would love to do because it would make navigating the page much easier, and I'm a big supporter of ease of access. I'm just trying to explain why it is so complicated and why I haven't tackled it, yet.

When I started putting these guides together I was not nearly as knowledgeable and just used the pets I had. And for some strategies the Sprite Darter is simply better than the Nether Faerie Dragon because it only has one breed.
It is indeed a very rare pet now, so it should not be in any of the main strategies, but because of this history you will still find it in some alternatives.

Truidiata wrote on 2017-04-20 10:36:24
I suspected something like this, since your "about us" page lists this as one of the first 3 pets used. :) Guess its like my Emperor crab. First pet I actively used for quests, so now I try with him first on any new battle.
Hatchling is listed in 2 of the legion wqs, and its the only pet missing on my Legion ready checker (WQ version) so I just got curious.

And if that is what was asked here, I have it on my to do list. Quite recently I imported all NPC pets into my database. When mouse-hovering over their names in any strategy, you will notice that there are now tooltips for those pets.
I am also in the process of adding to the trainers which pets they have, but I have a couple of other things I want to do before I make an interface for this.

I'm not sure what exactly you'd be looking for though. Do you want the tamer name displayed along side the world quest? My logic was to put the world quest name there, because it's the one shown on the map and the quest overview. You only see the tamer name when you're right in front of them. I don't know if the tamer name is really that important to have in the menu list then.
In regards to help, I could always need more help ^^ But you'd have to have fun doing it! Do you have something in mind what you would like to do? Drop me a mail if you're still interested!

I see that within individual guides you have "Occurrences" of pets, which I assume is how many times that pet is used in that particular guide. Is there a listing, perhaps, of all pets available on this site that I'm missing somewhere... that maybe will list occurrences on a "global" level?

Some comments:
I'm a little surprised that Bone Serpent and Blighted Squirrel aren't in there anywhere. Maybe I should popularise some strats for them. :) Bone Serpent is infamous in PvP, but can plug a lot of holes in PvE teams as well. OTOH, when you are trying to make a repeatable strat, you really would prefer to avoid introducing a 10% miss chance with Darkness. And Ikky's Black Claw/Flock covers the same ground as the Squirrel's Woodchipper/Stampede combo.
I'm also a little surprised to see Chrominius still so dominant, now that his partner in crime, the Pandaren Water Spirit, is reduced to a shadow of its former self. But that Howl -> Surge of Power combo still nukes just fine.
Breeds. If you say to me "Hey, I'm off to get one of these pets. Which breed should I pick up?" my first answers would be:
"Any Moth" - I love Yellow Moth P/P, White Moth H/H, and Gilded Moth H/P
"Any Rabbit" - any S/S that has 357 speed at level 25, like Spring Rabbit S/S or Alpine Hare S/S
"Any Snail" - my personal go-to is Shimmershell Snail H/P, but they all work fine. I note that Shimmershell and Silkbead Snails are also listed separately, but they're all snails.
Emperor Crab P/P
Emerald Proto-Whelp P/P
Iron Starlette - I want to say H/H, and I want to say P/P, and I want to say P/S. I don't know which to pick. They all work pretty much the same way.
Kun-Lai Runt P/P or P/B
Nether Faerie Dragon S/S, but pick up a P/P as well while you're there. You'll find a use for it later.
Scourged Whelpling H/H
Unborn Val'kyr - both breeds are good. I slightly prefer H/H, but either will do.
Nexus Whelpling P/P
Zandalaris - go for Power. P/P or P/B.

As you can see, most of the time the most extreme breeds are preferable because they gather the greatest bonus, but there are also cases of "overkills" or the preferred breed unavailable.

I recommend Discodoggy as a source of ideas. He has a YouTube channel under that name, and a list of his battles at http://pvppetbattles.com/daily-battle/ He did a two-part video under the title "The Very Best" Oct 24 and 25 2016 showing him playing his strongest teams. You might get ideas from that.
However, the key to winning PvP battles lies in predicting what your opponent is going to do. Your opponent has a Valk, so you expect him to want to lead with that and Haunt. But you have a rabbit, so you can get two rounds of Flurries off, and a Burrow, before the Valk can touch you. But he sees you have a rabbit, so maybe he doesn't start with the Valk. Like that.
I started a friend off into PvP and advised him to stick to very strong, straightforward pets that he knew and understood rather than trying to double-think all the tricky dodgers and swappers and blinders. At the start, you should not worry about winning; just get used to the matches and the timers, and focus on predicting your opponent's moves. He took an Iron Starlette, Bone Serpent, and Nexus Whelpling out, and did pretty well. Remember, you should expect to lose at least half of the time.
With the end of the reign of terror of Graves and the Evil Undead (feat. MPD), lots of pets are viable now, so you are not locked into using the top half-dozen.

I REALLY appreciate the rematch import links, that is clutch when it comes to making teams. Which leads me into a question/suggestion. What add-ons do you suggest, and it would be nice to have a section dedicated to that on your webpage.
Anyway, keep up the good work!!

Rematch
Battle Pet Breed ID
Pet Tracker
essential for everyone.
I use Battle Pet Binds, which gives you keybinds for all functions in a battle, but that's a matter of taste. I do admit I have sometimes pressed the wrong button, so that's a downside. ;)
Derangement’s Pet Battle Cooldowns is useful for PvE, though Pet Tracker's display will probably be enough for you. However, I consider it essential for PvP, to keep an eye on the CDs of pets in the backline.
While you are doing Family Familiar, the addon Family Familiar Helper is small and very convenient.
Somebody really, really, really needs to write an addon that creates a save-able/paste-able log of every battle.

Battle Pet Daily Tamer
To track the Pet Dailies I do. Puts a Green or Blue paw on the map and when I'm done with that tamer the paw goes away til the next day.
BattlePetCount
Best one I found to let me see level, rarity and how many pets I currently have while highlighting them out in the world, during Pet Battles, shops and inventories.
FamilyFamiliarHelper
This add-on's purpose is to make it easier to see at a glance which pet family has not been used for each tamer for the Family Familiar battle pet achievement.
Also it will open the window for this tracker only if the pet battle your doing is a part of the Family Familiar. So it'll remind you and keep track of the families you've done already.
PetBattleTeams
You can make teams for every Pet Tamer out there and then some. I myself have 118 Teams set up. Not sure if there is a limit.
PetJournalEnhanced
Does a better job at filtering you pets and better job at showing pet rarity and what not.
PetTracker
Well to track all those pets you want to find out in the world of Azeroth.
Rarity
Keeps track of the pets (also toys and mounts) that you still need from dungeons, raids and world bosses.

I'm not sure however what exactly you would like to see. Would you like to have the number of the alternative of the fight here reflected in the Rematch title? Can you explain me to what benefit? I'm open to any suggestions, I just want to understand what it does and what benefit it will have before implementing things :)

So for now, I'll have to pass on it because I think some other features of the page are just more useful to the majority. Hope you don't mind!

FamilyFamiliarHelper:
Link
<a href="Link here</a>
This add-on's purpose is to make it easier to see at a glance which pet family has not been used for each tamer for the Family Familiar battle pet achievement.
Also it will open the window for this tracker only if the pet battle your doing is a part of the Family Familiar. So it'll remind you and keep track of the families you've done already.

Two things I'd like to ask if you could possibly add. One is PVP pets and teams. A guide to help others with the know how of what pets are good to use and what combos.
Second is there a way you could add all the older pet tamers. Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Outlands for those that are learning and and just doing achievements and what not. As well as Northrend and the few from cataclysm for they also give really good pet EXP for leveling pets. All of witch can be either 2 petted or soloed. During the Pet bonus week I do the Northrend and cata zones to level my pets. I lost my notebook and some strategies I don't remember fully. If they were on this site then everyone as well as I can look right here. I could suggest the strategies I know and once I remember the others fully I can also suggest those.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into this site and for sharing all this info with us.

I'd like to answer your questions here if you don't mind. For PvP I'm not a specialist, and I would not feel comfortable adding a guide if I knew it will never be a really good one. I'd need someone else to write such a guide to add here and keep updated. Since no one is doing that right now, there is no PvP section. I am thinking about a collection of links to PvP guides from other people though!
Regarding the older battles, most of them are so easy (especially the starting zone ones) that almost any level 25 pet can beat them. There are some exceptions like Major Payne, but for most people those are done one time to unlock the further quest chains, and that's it. It would take some considerable time to add these as categories, and while I do want to do that, it's just not a priority right now. There are other areas in which I want to improve the page first, where I think everyone could benefit from much more.
I hope you're not too disappointed, but I prefer to say the exact reasons than to give you some false expectation.

Die niedrigstufigen Zähmer sind nicht extra aufgeführt, da man sie quasi mit jedem beliebigen Team besiegen kann und man nur selten spezielle Haustiere oder eine spezielle Strategie benötigt. Einige der schwereren Gegner der alten Gebiete findet du unter dem Elekk-Erfolg aufgeführt: https://wow-petguide.com/index.php?m=Elekk
Ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg.

Wenn du möchtest, kannst du gerne beitreten, aber die Sprache dort wird vorwiegend Englisch sein.
Alternativ gibt es auch schon länger die Möglichkeit uns im Discord zu besuchen:

Suchst du gezielt nach einer deutschsprachigen Community bzw. Lounge, kannst du auch der von mir gegründeten deutschen Haustierkämpfer-Gruppe beireten:

Wir versuchen möglichst auf die Notwendigkeit bestimmter Breeds zu verzichten. Da das nicht immer möglich ist, findet man in den Notizen über dem Ablauf meist einen Hinweis darauf, wenn doch ein bestimmter Breed notwendig sein sollte.
Aranesh arbeitet aber auch schon an einer übersichtlicheren Darstellung. :)

Erstmal ein dickes Lob an euch für diese wunderbare Seite, die hat mir schon soooo oft weitergeholfen. TOP!
Dann wollte ich mal fragen, wie es mit den anderen 25er Trainern aussieht (Scherbenwelt, Nordend & Cata)? Ist es geplant, dass dort auch Guides kommen? - Ich kann gerne welche beisteuern. :)
Liebe Grüße und macht weiter so!

Die alten Trainer planen wir derzeit nicht einzufügen, da man sie mit so ziemlich jedem Stufe 25 Team sehr einfach besiegen kann. Dank der Garnison bekommt man auch super schnell das erste Stufe 25 Haustier und kann mit ein, zwei Einkäufen im Auktionshaus das erste Team aufbauen.

Und ja: ich mag das Design sehr; sowohl die Farben als auch die Navigation.
Ganz grosses Kino.

vielen Dank für eure ganzen Mühen die Webseite auch ins Deutsche zu übersetzen. Ich kenn die Webseite schon länger (allerdings tu ich mir als ältere Generation nicht so einfach manchmal...) und bin nun überglücklich über diese Erweiterung.
Allgemein find ich die Webseite super handlich und übersichtlich gestaltet. Wenn ihr das in eurer Freizeit macht, bzw. diese dafür opfert, Hut ab, ihr habt meinen tiefsten Respekt das so kontinuierlich durchzuziehen und dann auch noch nebenher zu erweitern.
Macht bitte immer weiter so, die Haustierkämpfer auf der ganzen Welt danken es euch. :-)
