Did it with emperor crab(1,x,2), fen crab(1,1,2) and chitterspine deepstalker(x,2,1).
Open with surge, do the same business with the crab as this strat, whirlpool and more surge after swap, finish with prowl and dive on chitterspine.

I put an Emperor Crab in the 1st slot and hit him with a Surge right off. That helped kill this guy before my 3rd pet used Jolt.

Agree, however check health.. I used Magical Crawdad as already had it in my team for the same reason, but Bucky's first attack didn't bring his health low enough. Still won, but took a bit longer.

Every time I did this with water jet in the rotation it failed, so I skipped it and then I won. Don't know if it's because my frog is B/B breed or not.

Those of you without a Gulp Froglet, a Leviathan Hatchling using Whirlpool instead of Swarm works almost as well, you just need to finish off the fight with something like Dive on the first pet.

Amazing suggestion. The gulp froglet has such a low drop rate, and it's pretty much never in the AH. Unfortunately, it's got a unique power and is needed for so many things that finding a substitute is always good.

Chuck Surge - switched out
Snarlt rip, bood, in the water, surge until dead or swapped
S of G, Thunderbolt, dive to bypass the Switch, Swallow you whole until dead
Pet 1 returns surge twice. or rip blood in the water if needed.

Failed first five times in a row, seems RNG dependant. Swapping in something with Surge in 1 st slot helped, get one extra hit in before your 1st guy dies/forced bac. If Bucky does trample instead of stampede against your frog you might as well just restart

Probably worth mentioning the health cap on the random aquatic (I want to say around 1845?). Foolish me used a H/H Wander's Festival Hatchling in that slot just because, and ended up almost losing when it got switched in instead of the Spawn. Oops.

Snafu	~~I used the breed shown, it may work with others. It's important that your Swamp Croaker in slot 3 has lower HP than the Abyssal Slitherling.~~ DragonsAfterDark: In OP's absence, strategy has been updated for SLs changes. 1. Octopode Fry has replaced the Abyssal Slitherling to use Acid Touch instead of Water Jet. The Slitherling was not surviving anymore to eat the Void Gate, so we bring in the Magical Crawdad to eat it and set up Whirlpool. 2. To make sure you don't need to start & forfeit fights to lose health and have pets 2 & 3 swap properly, and to get the most out of the Acid Touch damage, the Swamp Croaker has been swapped for the Skitterling. 3. Slot 1 has remained the same, but a health restriction was placed on to make sure we have a pet survive if the Skitterling is crit.		2	5.0	N/A	1	67 1:07	7

Manaeldar	This strat worked 4/5 times for me today. If you get a really unlucky crit your crab can die early. If that happens, you should restart. Good luck! The healthy crab seems to work best so he can survive long enough to get in those surges.	Breed	2	5.0	N/A	1	82 1:22	10

PROFESSORLAB#1941	This strategy is RNG-free and not breed-dependent. Very easy with the power of Chitterspine Skitterling Nov 21 2020 Update: Because of the changes to pet battles in pre-patch, the strategy needed to be slightly adjusted. It still works without RNG as long as Bucky doesn't crit your first pet with either of his Void Gates. Apologies to anyone who was led astray by the outdated strategy and for putting off re-testing this fight for so long.		2	4.4	N/A	2	73 1:13	9

Löwenflügel#2658	DragonsAfterDark: In OP's absence, strategy has been updated for SLs changes. The only update is adding the Mongoose Pup to make the pets faster, and changing pet 2 to use the speed boost.	Breed RNG	2	0.0	N/A	0	67 1:07	8
