This is an overview of the currently best and/or most used pets in PvP sorted by their families. With this list we want to help you find a pet of a certain class to either build a competitive team around or to fill a spot in an already existing one. Please keep in mind that those pets are rated in comparison to only other pets of the same family. That means that some families are far stronger than others and therefor pets of some kinds may be inferior to those, even though both are listed as being the best in their own family (I'm looking at you magic pets).
If you disagree with some of our choices or got any suggestions/questions please let us know in the comment section.

Question. Infernal Pyreclaw is listed as S/B under beast but on the Top Tier list it says breeds P/B and S/B. Does that mean S/B is superior but P/B works for the most part?
How about Detective Ray? With the new Blizzard weather ability his flame jet and Immolations is much stronger, Im using it a lot lately and he didn't disappointed me so far:)
Have you considered the Arachnoid Skitterbot? (It drops from Mecharantula on Mechagon.) Flurry, Extra Plating, and Smoke Cloud on a pet with 341 speed seems very strong. I've been running with a Specimen 97 on a team with Wyrmy Tunkins and Alpine Foxling, as the fox already has Flurry and I wanted to diversify attack types. That said, comparing the pets individually, the moveset of the Skitterbot looks stronger than the Specimen 97's to me. (edited)
damnit, yeah... that's what i meant to write. the editor only shows pet IDs instead of names, that makes writing it a bit confusing^^ thanks for pointing it out (edited)
Breed,.Breed is a mixture of (H)ealth, (P)ower, and (S)peed. So an S/S breed (Speed/Speed) has put all its points into Speed, and is as fast as that species can be. A H/P has points split between Health and Power.
For some species of pets, your choice of Breed to get is very important. You can make a pet Blue with a stone, but you can never change its Breed. Some species have only one breed. Some have many, but only one that is good for battling. In some cases you might want two or even three breeds for use with different choices of moves. It gets complicated after a while.
Nice guide, actualy found some great combos from BFA that i didnt knew of like PP boarfly which im amazed on how strong it is. also seeing some strong pets i didnt knew off. good job
Everyone will have their own views on what they find works best, and that will doubtless be a whole lotta fun, but before we get into that, I suggest two things:
1. You NEED to specify Breed and context, where relevant. A B/B Fiendish Imp is a chocolate teapot.
2. What is the sequence intended to be for each family? It's not alphabetical. Is it random, or are you listing them in order your opinion of their value for PvP?
1. i agree, but i was kinda busy and wanted to get that published. adding breeds and recommended movesets is something I could add to most of the pets, but for some of them I'd rather let people experiment with it ... I'll get that done ;) 2. it's just as they came to our mind. no ranking. could make it alphabetical, but in order of value would, for the most part, be vague, since it's hard to measure the value of them

Cyclone, followed by Rain Dance to buff its damage, which the Young Sand Sifter has, is known as CloneDance: https://www.wow-petguide.com/Strategy/5222/Clone_Dance

https://www.warcraftpets.com/wow-pet-battles/breeds/ goes into gory detail about the numbers.
You NEED to get the addon Battle Pet Breed ID from Curseforge, which will display each pet's breed beside it in the game.
Here is a long thread I wrote, in which I surveyed the breeds experienced people favoured across all the pets: https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/pet-breed-survey-2019/20349
