There is no way around it using alts currently - Currently you are locked to only 1 completion daily as you cannot battle after completing each trainer's quest, nor abandon the quest.

This means this achievement takes at a minimum 10 days. (1 sub ach per day)

REMEMBER TO HAND IN YOUR QUEST AFTER THE FIGHT

Beast

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Beast I used the same team

Infernal Pyreclaw P/B (Adrenaline Rush, Cleave, Great Sting)
Zandalari Anklerender P/S (Bite, Primal Cry, Black Claw)
Tarachnid Stalker (or any Spider) S/S (strike, Brittle Webbing, Spiderling Swarm)

I kept Great Sting up as much as possible, spammed Cleave. If Pyreclaw died I brought in Ankle render and prioritized Primal Cry. I used Tarachnid Stalker / Spider to absorb high damage 2 round ability hits such as Fly, Burrow and Dragon Breaths as well as using Brittle Webbing + Spiderling Swarm together.

Critter

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Critter I used the same team

Damp Skrat B/B (Barbed Stinger, Nibble, Great Sting)
Lovebird Hatchling S/S (Alpha Strike, Lovestruck, Pheromones)
Perky Pug P/S (Bite, Buried Treasure, Trample)

I started out with Great Sting, then swapped to Lovebird to use Pheromones - using these two abilities as much as possible. Use Lovestruck and Nibble to last longer and let the DoTs do more damage. Perky Pug can be brought in to clean up and heal itself.

The only one i struggled with was Major Payne, I brought out Lovebird First instead and used Pheromones, then immediately stunned it - keeping the enemy Bear pet in the backline as much as I could.

Undead

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Undead I used the same team

Blightbreath (Dreaful Breath, Any, Acid Rain)
Fragment of Anger (Seethe, Spiritfire Beam, Soulrush)
Zomstrok (Infected Claw, Any, Carpnado)

I used Acid Rain into Dreadful Breath as much as possible. When Blightbreath died, I used Spiritfire Beam, then Soulrush > Seethe. When Fragment of Anger died, I used Carpnado to clean up whatever was left. Most of the time I didn't need the Zomstrok.

When I vs'd Major Payne, I started with Zomstrok instead then immediately swapped to Blightbreath once stunned. Focus all your big damage abilities on the bear.

Aquatic

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Aquatic I used the same team

Snarly (Rip, Surge, Blood in the Water)
Toothy (Rip, Surge, Blood in the Water)
Muckbreath (Rip, Surge, Blood in the Water)

Pretty simple, just maintained Rip, used Blood in the Water as much as possible and Surge in between.

Dragonkin

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Dragonkin I used the same team

Nexus Whelpling (Frost Breath, Mana Surge, Arcane Storm)
Twilight Clutch Sister (Twilight Fire, Phase Shift, Twilight Meteorite)
Emerald Proto-Whelp (Emerald Bite, Emerald Presence, Emerald Dream)

Prioritize Arcane Storm > Mana Surge. When your Nexus Whelpling dies, bring out Twilight Clutch-Sister and use Twilight Fire until the enemy pet is below 50% and the Dragonkin passive is activated. Use Twilight Meteorite with the passive up. Clean up with Emerald Proto-Whelp.

Elemental

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Elemental I used the same team

Sophic Amalgamation P/S (Blinkstrike, Wild Magic, Illuminate)
Fel Flame H/S (Burn, Scorched Earth, Conflagrate)
Tide Spirit (Chop, Surge, Blood in the Water)

Kept Wild Magic up on all pets and used Illuminate on CD > Blinkstrike. Bring in Tide Spirit if the enemy is low (to Surge to death) or Fel Flame. Use Scorched Earth + Conflagrate and Chop + Blood in the Water for big damage.

There were two fights i struggled with but was successful in the end. You could always swap out to different Elemental pets but here's how to do it with the same team:

Okrut in Dragonflight - had to start with Tide Spirit instead and use Sophic Amalgamation 2nd. May have to restart a few times to get good RNG with the first pet.

Major Payne - Begin the fight with Fel Flame. Restart if stunned. Scorched Earth, spam Burn until Grizzle half health. When under half health, Conflagrate. Continue to use Scorched Earth > Burn. Continue with Sophic Amalgamation but do not use Illuminate as you do not want it up for Bloom.

Flying

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Flying I used the same team

Gorm Rootstinger P/S (Enrage, Great Sting, Puncture Wound)
Gorm Harrier P/P (Enrage, Impale, Great Sting)
Gorm Needler H/P (Impale, Great Sting, Puncture Wound)

Start out with Great Sting, Enrage, Puncture Wound. Swap to Gorm Harrier - use Great Sting, Enrage and Impale. Swap to the last Gorm Needler if needed to clean up / continue applying Great Sting.

Comment by Kamraten

As you might have noticed, as of Patch 12.0.0, you can only challenge the Pet Battles Trainers in Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms and Northrend once per day.

Which means that for the new meta achievements being introduced with Midnight's Pre Patch, it will take a minimum of 10 days to complete (one day per pet family).

Humanoid

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Humanoid I used the same team

Void-Scarred Anubisath H/H (Spiritfire Bolt, Soulrush, Creeping Insanity)
Father Winter's Helper B/B (Ice Lane, Call Blizzard, Ice Tomb)
Winter's Little Helper B/B (Ice Lane, Call Blizzard, Ice Tomb)

I used Creeping Insanity, Soulrush, then would swap to Father Winter's Helper and use Blizzard / Ice Tomb depending on the health or the enemy pet (if it was an Undead pet for example, I might use Ice Tomb). Keep Blizzard up and use Ice Lance.

Comment by Goblinaire

To be entirely clear about the daily quests associated with each tamer :

- You cannot battle a tamer without taking their daily quest
- Each daily quest is warband-wide
- You must turn in the daily quest once completed. If you do not turn in the daily prior to the next daily reset, you will remain ineligible to fight until the next reset after the daily is turned in
- Once you complete a fight on one toon, all other toons become ineligible until the next daily reset after quest turn-in
- The dailies cannot be abandoned via the UI or macros
- Party Sync does not work around the daily lock

In other words, it takes a minimum of 10 days to complete this achievement, and there is no way at all around it unfortunately.

Magic

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Magic I used the same team

For most fights:

Energized Manafiend S/S (Arcane Blast, Amplify Magic, Arcane Storm)
Servant of Demidos P/P (Magic Sword, Siphon Anima, Soulrush)
Salverun B/B (Shadowslash, Surge of Power, Shadowmeld)

My general strategy was to Amplify Magic, Arcane Storm then spam Arcane Explosion. Bring out Demidos and Soulrush, Heal when needed + Sword. Use Salverun to Shadowmeld + Surge of Power any leftover pets.

I had to make alterations to my teams for these trainers:

Okrut - Had to change Energized Manafiends abilities to Arcane Blast, Surge of Power, Evanescence. Start with Salverun, Shadowmeld + Surge of Power (swap to Energized Manafiend before Salverun dies, keep it alive). Arcane Blast and use Evanescence to dodge Ice Tomb. Use Surge of Power when Sleet is in range of dying from it. Swap to Salverun when Energised Manafiend dies and Surge of Power immediately (if in range of enemy pet dying). Finish off with Servant of Demidos, healing after using Soulrush.

Nearly Headless Jacob - Had to change Energized Manafiends abilities to Arcane Blast, Surge of Power, Evanescence. Use Evanesence on Turn 3, save Surge of Power for Stitch

Major Payne - Had to change Energized Manafiends abilities to Arcane Blast, Surge of Power, Evanescence + Servant of Demidos to Lightning Shield. - Spam Arcane Blast until Grizzle is in Surge of Power Range and use it. If you lived, use Evanescence and continue to Surge of Power. Bring in Demidos, use Lightning Shield / heal. Use Salverun to finish off any pets and Shadowmeld + Surge of Power.

You can make some of these Northrend Trainers a lot easier with other pets being substituted. I wrote this strategy keeping in mind those with a limited roster or wanting to only use one team. (##RESPBREAK##)

Mechanical

For all EK, Kalimdor and Northrend Family Battlers - Mechical I used the same team

Iron Starlette P/P (Wind-up, Powerball, Supercharge)
Microbot 8D H/H (Missile, Supercharge, Ion Cannon)
Microbot XD H/P (Alert!, Supercharge, Ion Cannon)

General strategy is to Wind-up, Supercharge, Wind-up with Starlette and fill with Powerball. Supercharge + Ion Cannon with the other two pets filling with other abilites when needed.

You should restart if your combo is interrupted by any means (such as enemy pets flying up or burrowing). Also be aware that against Magic Pets their passive will stop you from one shotting - avoid using Supercharge.

Major Payne: (Restart if stunned) Bring out Microbot XD first. Supercharge + Ion Cannon. Alert! Until Microbot XD dies. Bring in Microbot 8D. Supercharge + Ion Cannon. Missile until Microbot 8D dies. Wind-up + Supercharge + Wind-up and Powerball until you win. A bit RNG as you need Bloom to not attack you much in the last part.

Nearly Headless Jacob: Start with Microbot XD and Supercharge + Ion Cannon. It will be swapped out anyway.

If you did this in the same order as me this is your last one, grats :)

For Magic:

Triple Anomalus makes easy work of all Northrend trainers. Make sure they all have Void Nova and Poison Protocol, and keep Poison/Void on CD across them all (swap them to keep up Void/Poison). The exception is Major Payne, where you can keep your first Anomalous in until it dies, making sure Void/Poison are on CD and using Ooze Touch to keep Grizzle's health down.

Comment by Dawinch

For Mechanical, I ran into Copper Hopper, and man that thing solos more than half the teams
Frog Kiss
Supercharge
Frog Kiss
Rebuild
Repeat!

Plus it's SS and is faster than all NPCs. Even the non SS breeds are faster than the vast majority of NPCs

Elemental

You can use this team for Old World Family Battler and for Family Battler of Northrend

1. Tiny Snowman: Snowball, Call Blizzard, Howling Blast - Use 2nd -> 3rd -> 1st
2. Molten Corgi: Flamethrower, Superbark, Puppies of the Flame - Use 2nd -> 1st. Use 3rd if you need evade
3. Blossoming Ancient: Ironbark, Photosynthesis, Sunlight - You almost do not need this pet. Use 3rd, maintain 2nd, fill with 1st.

Critter

The team works for Family Battler of Northrend, Family Battler of Kalimdor and Family Battler of Eastern Kingdoms.

1. Floofa. Maintain Moon Tears, damage with Arcane Explosion. Use Illusionary Barrier if needed.
2. Frostfur Rat. Start with Crouch. Maintain Crouch and Call Darkness. Damage with Sneak Attack.
3. Void-Scarred Hare: Scratch, Early Advantage, Void Tremors . This one is not needed most of time.

This worked great for me everywhere but Major Payne. I had to changed Floofa to a common hare with Flurry, Dodge, Burrow and use common tactic of evading.

Comment by TheShmee

Alternative Beast group for all Kalimdor & Northrend Tamers (did not try eastern kingdoms with this team yet, if someone wants to try and post their success in the replies that would be great)

Mining Monkey 2,2,1
Thunder Lizard Runt 2,2,1
Mudback Calf 2,1,1

I one shot Major Payne's Beast requirement with the first 2 pets without using the third and managed to clean up all other Northrend Pet Tamers with this exact team and abilities with minimal difficulty.

Good luck!
