Ashtora#11554	I was only able to test PP/SS for the Zandalari Anklerender and got both to work fine as long as they got 2 hits of Hunting Party off, therefore I think any of the breeds should work, you just might have to restart a couple times if it dies too early.

Edit: Turns out you actually should probably just add a speed requirement for the first pet as not all the alternatives will work

You need to add a breed requirement. Strat does not work unless you have a S/S Baby Zandalari Raptor. (edited)

Screech allows all breeds to be used in your 2nd pet slot.

The 1st slot needs a speed requirement as all 51 suggested alternate Beasts will not work. (edited)

My Zandalari Anklerender died before its Hunting Party could finish, but luckily the bleed effect finished off Shadeflicker without my Cheetah Cub needing to do anything.

My Anklerender died when Shadeflicker had 500-something health still, and only got one round of the last Hunting Party off (P/S breed) but I switched back to my Cheetah Cub and finished him off with a Pounce, just the same!

Really good strategy. Downed Shadeflicker on the first attempt despite him getting some crits in on me. My only suggestion is to edit how the strategy is laid out so that it doesn't show my attacks and Shadeflicker's. It's a bit confusing to read.
