Level 25+

You can use this strategy to carry a low level pet to give it experience.

Tricky

Some instructions are more difficult to follow than others. That's exactly what you might find in this strategy!

Script

The strategy offers a Script that can be used with the Pet Battle Script addon. You can copy the script by clicking on the button to the left of the pets.

Unobtainable

I used Boghopper instead of the Eel - Frog's Kiss (or Steam Vent if you don't feel like gambling on the stun that I never got to proc), Pump on the Dodge turn, Pump again.

As mentioned above - thunderbolt is timed wrong now (need to dive first and then thunderbolt). I couldn't pull it back to a win despite dodging following attacks and whirlpooling on cd.

Swapped the dive & thunderbolt around and still didn't work as couldn't get anything to hit. If the eel was faster than shadeflicker it would work but otherwise it didn't.

In the end i swapped out the eel with a SS mongoose so it was faster and could get some hits in - used gnaw on the first round, followed by dive - back on the crab i used bubble> whirlpool > pinch and finished off with one gnaw on the mongoose.

The thunderbolt seems to be on his dodge round now. The team can definitely still win though - once I got back to my crab, dodge the big attack, and throw out a geyser ASAP, then you'll most likely win.
