Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies

With the introduction of Warlords of Draenor, pet battles also got a nice little addition: The Pet Menagerie!

Once your character reaches level 100 you will be able to build the Pet Menagerie. Once done, you will receive the quest Pets Versus Pests to defeat three enemy pets. They are not very hard and at the bottom of the fight list here on the left you will find some strategies to beat them.

After this initial challenge, you will be offered daily pet challenges without the need to actually leave your homestead. Isn't that neat?

Every day there are different challengers in the ring. They rotate through the list in order, making it very predictable. On the left you can see all the fights and in order.

There are plenty of rewards for doing the battles, most importantly Pet Charms. Every daily quest yields about a few of these (pre-Legion) for which you can buy pets and some fun items, but also upgrade stones for your pets to rare quality!

Once you acquire the level 3 menagerie, the daily quest is upgraded and then has a small chance to include one of these pets:

Albino Chimaeraling
Firewing
Ghastly Kid
Puddle Terror
Sun Sproutling
Sunfire Kaliri
Weebomination

Below you will find a list of pets that are suitable to beat all enemies in the pet menagerie. You do not necessarily need those pets, but with them you can use the first alternative listed here on every fight:

	Name	Families	Occurrences	Required Level
#
1.	Anubisath Idol	Humanoid	1	25
2.	Bronze Whelpling	Dragonkin	1	25
3.	Chrominius	Dragonkin	3	25

You need to have an active Authenticator on your account. Buying one, using it then deactivating it will leave the Pup in your pet inventory but disabled.

Wonder if someone can help.
Before BFA the battles in Draenor Menagerie was repeatable, now you only get the 1 battle daily with them. Not the Daily quest, just the battles, you could keep fighting them all day if you wanted.
Is this right now or does anyone know will it be changed back?

Thanks for the help

To unlock dailies up to Pandaria Masters, you need to complete the initial questline which started when you had learned your Battle Pet Training.
Depending on your faction, you need to venture through Eastern Kingdoms or Kalimdor until you get to Grand Masters. You can find the quest names here:
https://pastebin.com/raw/6xbmcPRt

Then you fight Outland, Northrend, Cataclysm and Pandaria tamers. These quests have the same structure as the Battle Pet Tamers: Eastern Kingdoms/Kalimdor in that you can fight regular tamers from one continent in any order, unlike the very first quests. Each stage ends with a quest to defeat a Grand Tamer (Antari, Payne, Obalis, Aki) and (except the final tamer) interaction with your guide.

After defeating Aki, you unlock Spirit Tamers and Beasts of Fable aswell. Good luck and a great roster!

Once you've completed this questline on one faction, your guide of the other one may offer several stages of this questline at once. This is because for later quests, the progress on one side is identified as progress on the other, too. Don't be afraid! :)

I'm not sure if its, just me, but I see the alternates are showing up differently, and don't seem to be "mousable" so that you can see what they are before clicking on them. In particular Erris, which changes so you need to figure out what team you are fighting before you pick a strategy. Is it possible to change it back to allow us to mouse over before we select an alternativew?

Hi, new battler here. I am wondering, how does one import the notes as well as the teams into Rematch? I mean, if I import the teams, are the notes included or do they have to be added separately, and if so, is it just copy and paste each one or is there a faster way?
Thank you!

I just copy and paste notes. I'd like it to import notes too, but the addon is amazing as is, so I don't mind the extra small step.

Fun fact: The Erris/Kura dailies are not random, but on a rotation!
As there are five teams, they happen to line up with (also five) garrison town hall traders.
If you see one of these in your town hall, you can create a team before the fight!

How do these teams line up?
Herb Trader – Enbi'see, Mal, Bones
Ore Trader – Sprouts, Prince Charming, Runts
Dust Trader – Nicodemus, Brisby, Jenner
Fur Trader – Spores, Dusty, Salad
Leather Trader – Moon, Mouthy, Carl

For example, today in EU there's a herb trader, first pet is Enbi'see; US after this reset has a leather trader (first pet Moon).
Any samples of mnemotechnics? :) For example, dust is a fine kind of good and mice are also tiny.

It looks like we're going to have another Squirt leveling day in the U.S. during triple xp week on October 14th. Mark your calendars :D

My math was a little off. It looks like we're getting Squirt on Monday 10/16

Would it be possible to make a small change to highlight the current active trainer in the list on the left?

I really like that idea :-)
But I would need to know which one is active on the other regions than EU on a given day. I do believe they are not synchronized anymore. Especially for the asian regions I have no way of checking.

Where are the Erris the Collector strategies? I don't see those anywhere on this site. They should be here in the Pet Menagerie section as well.

Hey! It's the link on the very top left called "Erris / Kura". Or easier: http://wow-petguide.com/index.php?m=Menagerie&s=23

Saintgabrial wrote on 10/11/2016

NOPE! I click on the (Erris / Kura) and it still shows the same list on the left there and a strategy to something but she has a few teams of her own so there should be more than one. Its why I asked.

That is odd.... does the direct link work that I posted in? (I know the color is a bit hard to see, sorry)

Saintgabrial wrote on 10/11/2016

yes sends me there as well but still just one team that I don't know what team of hers that the strategy is for. Like today she has a rat team.

EDIT: Oh wait! I see, there are 3 alternatives and each one for a different team of hers. (Confusing) I was looking for each of her teams to be on the left as a list and on the strategy part to have alternatives to each of her teams.

Sorry and thanks
