Suggested PvP Pets by Type

Pet

Details

Götze des Anubisath

Götze des Anubisath is a strong pet with high survivability. Zerquetschen is a high damage ability, while Sandsturm mitigates damage providing a chance for the opponent to miss. Abwehr can be especially powerful in PvP pet battles as many pets use low damage multi turn abilities.

The Götze des Anubisath can be bought or sold on the Auction house, or drops from The Twin Emperors in Temple of Ahn'qiraj.

Kun-Lai-Junges

Kun-Lai-Junges is a great combo ability pet. Frostschock into Tieffrieren gives high burst damage. The added 100% stun chance onto this make this pet very powerful in PvP.

The Kun-Lai-Junges is a wild pet, and can be found in Kun-lai Summit.

Murkalot

Murkalot is one of, if not the best PvP pet in the game right now. Rechtschaffene Inspiration can be used to swap onto an AoE pet, causing huge amounts of damage to the enemy team. Murlocvollstreckung being an avoid ability with high burst damage is amazing for finishing off pets.

Murkalot was obtainable thorough the 2013 Blizzcon, and sadly, if you don't have it already, it's likely going to cost you a lot of money to get.

Rebellischer Wichtel
Dämonischer Wichtel

Rebellischer Wichtel & Dämonischer Wichtel are great additions to any team. Nethertor allows for swapping, and Feuerbrand allows you to heal a lot.

Rebellischer Wichtel drops from Mutter Rosula and Dämonischer Wichtel drops from Terestian Siechhuf in Kara.

Wyrmi Schleck

Wyrmi Schleck has a great moveset with Glas mit stinkender Flüssigkeit and Rüüülps!.

Wyrmi Schleck is from Archaeology.

Enthusiast der Allianz and Fanatiker der Horde also have similar, good movesets, and obtained from PvP.

Neugieriger Wolvarwelpe

Neugieriger Wolvarwelpe is quite underrated, but has a great moveset with Schnappfalle/Wildherzengebräu and Wirbelwind.

Neugieriger Wolvarwelpe is from Children's Week.

Pet

Details

Sturmgeborener Welpling/Nexuswelpling

The Sturmgeborener Welpling andNexuswelpling are similar pets and are a solid choice for PvP pet battles. With Arkaner Sturm and Manawoge, these pets deal a huge amount of damage.

The Nexuswelpling can be found in the wild, and the Sturmgeborener Welpling is a guaranteed drop from Matriarchin der Sturmschwingen.

Zwielichtgelegeschwester

The Zwielichtgelegeschwester is a great PvP pet when used in combination with Murkalot, and also as a standalone pet. Rechtschaffene Inspiration into Zwielichtmeteorit does large amounts of damage to the active and back line pets. Phasenverschiebung can be used to stall until your next Zwielichtmeteorit.

The Zwielichtgelegeschwester can be obtained from Valiona or Theralion in The Bastion of Twilight. This pet can also be bought and sold on the Auction House.

Bronzewelpling (S/S)

Bronzewelpling is very effective, but performs best as S/S breed. Arkanes Schlitzen, Kristallgefängnis, Abheben work well together.

Bronzewelpling is a zone wide drop in the post Warlords of Draenor Blasted Lands.

Pet

Details

Schimmernde Wasserfliege

Schimmernde Wasserfliege has an amazing moveset with Alphastoß, Ausweichen and Abheben, allowing high damage while avoiding many attacks.

Schimmernde Wasserfliege can be caught in the wild in Val'sharah.

Parasitäre Eberfliege

Parasitäre Eberfliege has good sustain and high damage with Schneidender Wind/Schlaghagel, Abheben and good sustain with Blut abzapfen and Fressen.

Parasitäre Eberfliege can be caught in the wild in Tirigarde Sound.

Junge Himmelsflosse
Zahme Himmelsflosse

Junge Himmelsflosse and Zahme Himmelsflosse - is it windy in here? Wilde Winde, Wilde Magie and Flügelstoß make for an annoying to deal with pet. Teufelsverdorbene Himmelsflosse also has similar moves.

Junge Himmelsflosse is caught in the wild in Mac'Aree. The other Skyfins are from Teufelsgeflecktes Ei.

Blutschnabel

Blutschnabel is good because of Regentanz. Abheben and Nächtlicher Schlag add extra to this kit. Several similar pets share this moveset, such as Dschungelschnabel.

Blutschnabel can be caught in the wild, in Tanaan Jungle.

Verwaiste Teufelsfledermaus

Verwaiste Teufelsfledermaus with Teufelsfeuerbrand with Schwarze Klaue and Blut abzapfen is pretty good.

Verwaiste Teufelsfledermaus is from the Legionfall Paragon box.

Krähe and Similar

Krähe and other birds with the Dunkelheit herbeirufen + Nächtlicher Schlag combo are really good.

Pet

Details

Ungeborene Val'kyr

The Ungeborene Val'kyr, although having received a few nerfs, is still a top PvP battle pet. In combination with Ikky and Chrominius it can set up to deal some good amounts of damage, while playing dead in the back line.

The Unborn Val'kyr may seem daunting to obtain, however nowadays there isn't much competition at all to get it, so you should be able to find one in the wild quite easily.

Barnaby

Barnaby is notable because of his very good move set. He is currently the only undead pet with Ausweichen, and has a great kit to battle against Dragon types, because of moves such as Tornadoschlag and Hieb.

Not only are his abilities strong against Dragonkin, but he is also an Undead, meaning he takes 33% less damage from Dragonkin abilities.

Barnaby is obtainable from Island Expeditions and can also be bought or sold on the Auction House.

Eiskaltes Händchen

The Eiskaltes Händchen is a notable PvP battle pet due to abilities Fluch der Verdammnis and Todesgriff. Fluch der Verdammnis can be applied, and Todesgriff can be used to pull the pet into the back line, either forcing the opponent to swap it back out to an active pet and losing a round, or just taking the Fluch der Verdammnis.

The Eiskaltes Händchen can be obtained through Archaeology, or bought and sold on the Auction House.

Pet

Details

Rabbits/Hares

The Rabbit and Hare family are very annoying PvP pets to play against. Using the move set Kratzen/Schlaghagel, Ausweichen and Eingraben they are masters of avoiding damage while dealing high damage. It is worth noting that Rabbits/Hares are most effective when they are a speed heavy breed.

Most Rabbits or Hares can be found in the wild or on the Auction House.

Cockroaches

Alright, hear me out here. The Kakerlake may seem like a really bad pet, and it is, most of the time. However, the Kakerlake can be useful in some specific situations. Cockroaches can counter sustain/healing teams with Apokalypse, such as teams who run Blühendes Urtum. This isn't a pet to create a team around, however, if you are playing against teams that are out healing and blocking your damage with Blühendes Urtum, run a Cockroach with Apokalypse!

Most Cockroaches caught in the wild or can be bought off the Auction House.

Pet

Details

Irrwisch des Hyjal

The Irrwisch des Hyjal is a great PvP pet due to the ability Wunsch. Wunsch can be used and then you can swap out to a low health pet, healing it by 50%. Vergänglichkeit can also be used to avoid damage, and get the Wunsch off onto the Irrwisch des Hyjal if needed.

The Irrwisch des Hyjal drops from Archimonde in Hyjal Summit, or can be bought and sold on the Auction House.

Diener von Demidos

The Diener von Demidos has a powerful move set for PvP. It is the only easily obtainable pet with Magische Klinge, the other pet with Magische Klinge being the Schatzgoblin. Magische Klinge is a good ability due to the base 50% critical chance, giving the potential to hit for a lot. Anima entziehen provides a small amount of sustain and Seelenrausch gives burst damage with a stun chance.

The Diener von Demidos drops from Demidos in Shadowmoon Valley (Draenor) and can be bought or sold on the Auction House.

Pet

Details

Jadenebeltänzer

The Jadenebeltänzer is a very strong pet. Geysir can be lined up with Regentanz, giving the potential for critical hits. Dampfventil can be used with Regentanz, also potentially hitting for a lot.

The Jadenebeltänzer can be obtained as a drop from Jadenebeltänzer on the Timeless Isle, or can be bought and sold on the Auction House.

Blühendes Urtum

The Blühendes Urtum is a great pet at being annoying and mitigating damage. If you run the move set Eisenborke, Photosynthese and Sonnenlicht you can become an unstoppable force. It just might take a while to win games! This pet is best used in a team with other healing pets.

The Blühendes Urtum is purchased from the Blizzard store for $10 USD.

Winziger Schneemann

The Winziger Schneemann has a similar combination to the Kun-Lai-Junges. Schneesturm herbeirufen into Tieffrieren allows for large burst damage and a stun.

The Winziger Schneemann is a reward from Fröhlich verpacktes Geschenk, available during Winter Veil. However it can be bought or sold on the Auction House at any time.

Mini-Ragnaros

Mini-Ragnaros is a hard hitting Elemental pet. Sulfurasschmettern is a strong basic attack, while Söhne der Flamme can be used to stall Magmafalle into activating.

Mini-Ragnaros is purchased from the Blizzard store for $10 USD.

Pet

Details

Xu-Fu, Nachwuchs von Xuen

Xu-Fu, Nachwuchs von Xuen is a notable PvP pet because of the large amount of damage that can be done with him. Geisterklauen is a strong basic attack, and is a guaranteed hit chance when Mondfeuer is active, which Xu-Fu, Nachwuchs von Xuen also has. Fressen can also be chosen if healing is needed. Schleichen can boost Fressen, allowing for good healing.

Xu-Fu, Nachwuchs von Xuen

Todesnatterjungtier

The Todesnatterjungtier is an interesting pet and works well with other pets sharing similar abilities. Blendendes Gift and Giftzahn apply the Poison effect, allowing Bisswunde to hit twice.

Todesnatterjungtier is dropped from the Kaiserpython on Timeless Isle, or can be bought and sold on the Auction House. Rosentaipan is an alternative pet, which is easier to obtain.

Pet

Details

Tinti

Tinti is a new pet in Battle for Azeroth that works well with other Poison pets. Tinti has two abilities that work well together that synergise with Poison. Blendendes Gift and Tentakelstich combined with Tauchen make for an evasive pet, while applying the Poison effect that can be used by multiple pets.

Tinti is the only pet with Tentakelstich that can also blind a target with his other moves, making his move set very unique.

Tinti is obtained from Island Expeditions, and can be bought and sold on the Auction House.

Zerfetzen/Blut im Wasser Pets

Pets with Zerfetzen and Blut im Wasser provide big amounts of burst damage. Some examples of these pets include Crabs, Sharks and Crockolisk pets.

Pet

Details

Dunkelmond-Panzer

The Dunkelmond-Panzer is a useful mechanical pet. Abilities such as Verunsicherungstaktik and Ionenkanone allow for high burst damage.

This pet can be bought for 90 Gewinnlos des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts during Darkmoon Faire, or can be bought and sold on the Auction House.

Mechanischer Pandarendrachling

Mechanischer Pandarendrachling is another great PvP mechanical pet. Lockvogel and Donnerblitz are great abilities, however this pet really shines against Magic pets. Mechanicals take 33% less damage from Magic, and on top of that, Atem is strong versus Magic, making this pet one of the best Magic attackers in the game.

This pet can be bought and sold on the Auction House, or created from Mechanischer Pandarendrachling.

Aufziehgnom

The Aufziehgnom provides a good kit of abilities while having some healing and sustain. Geschützturm bauen can be stacked, and Reparieren can be used in conjunction with Ausfallsicherung to avoid death. The turrets can be stacked and used in a Gewittersturm team.

This pet is learnt from Dwarven Archaeology, and can be caged and therefore bought or sold on the Auction House.

Dunkelmond-Zeppelin

The Dunkelmond-Zeppelin is another good choice for a mechanical pet. With the ability Lockvogel and Donnerblitz it comparable to Mechanischer Pandarendrachling, however more focused on Mehanical type attacks such as Rakete, making it good against beasts.

This pet can be bought for 90 Gewinnlos des Dunkelmond-Jahrmarkts during Darkmoon Faire, or can be bought and sold on the Auction House.

FeuerbrandTodesgriffFluch der VerdammnisTips and Tricks

Always stay one step ahead! Try and predict what move your opponent is going to do. For example, if you are playing against a Kun-Lai-Junges, you know once Frostschock comes out that Tieffrieren is coming next! Prevent the 100% stun chance by swapping out to another pet, removing the Frostschock and making Tieffrieren less of a threat.

If someone else keeps beating you with a team, counter them! Because of long pet battle queues, you will likely end up playing against the same player multiple times. If they keep relentlessly beating you, set up a team to specifically counter their pets!

Steal other peoples teams! It may be a bit unethical, but hey, if you want to win, you have to use the winning teams! If you keep playing against the same team and keep losing, take the team and start winning!

Sometimes the best team can be something completely random! Since many of the overpowered pets have been nerfed, I've found PvP pet battles to allow more experimental teams. It is good to run these as others could find it difficult predict your strategy if they've never played against the team before.

I have noticed that for starting pet battle players if you run in to the same team over and over and just simply cannot counter them if you wait 10 minutes are so you can see if you get a different opponent. I found this out the hard way one morning when I kept getting stomped by a team. Also, if you do not know right off the bat how to counter a team research. that team and what counters it. This is the way to find out how to improve your own game play.

Kommentar von Harpooha

In Pet Battle Hell, people who use swap teams are forced to face each other for eternity

Kommentar von Jangeoffry

Alright, hear me out here. The Cockroach may seem like a really bad pet, and it is, most of the time. This isn't a pet to create a team around...

Well, I had put together teams around S/S cockroaches (2,2,2) and can say they were quite tough to beat, specially if you pair your cockroach with two high dps pets. Cast apocalypse, bring 2 enemy pets down and win. Last few rounds you may want to use Flank + Survival to a 2 round imortality. More than once I won the battle with only 1 HP. I laughed for hours after that

Kommentar von djkillj0y

Some specific criticisms:

1. I'm never a fan of using limited edition pets in a general guide. As a player who just came back after a long absence I see strats that call for molten corgi or purple puffer and I cringe. Some pets are hard to get, some are nearly mind numbingly hard to farm and some are just gold expensive and then there's blizzcon pets which are both OP and impossible to get normally. Bad form. Find something people without an extra $500 lying around can get.

2. guide bloat - specifically the table of family counters and the short explainer on breeds. This isn't a general guide, it's an overview of how PVP in BFA is impacted. If you need that kind of info I'm sure there are other 101 guides out there with the same info. Neither adds anything to the discussion of how BFA has impacted PVP and nothing in the section following it uses that information.

3. A grand total of 3 pets listed in your teams and suggested pets are actually from BFA so while I agree that BFA has probably changed the landscape of pet battles almost all of these pets have been around since WoD.

The opening section reprints info better found in https://www.wowhead.com/notable-battle-pets-by-family-guide

BreedIDs for the Serious Pet Battler covers the breeds in much more detail.

Kommentar von Rosqo

I have doubts about the accuracy of the information within this guide some of the pet recommendations seem incorrect. Kun-lai runt whilst not fiendish or rebellious imp as an example are not good picks

Kommentar von cathline

For a pvp pet battle guide I was expecting a little more info on how the battles actually work. Like can you switch talents on the pets before the fight actually starts? Are you stuck using the team exactly as it was built when you queued, that kind of info. I'm experimenting with this just so i can get that darn shady message but this is the general kind of info I was looking for. If anyone knows where that info is, please let me know.

Kommentar von Gunnerb52

Are you supposed to get some kind of reward when you win? I got pet charms every time I won but there was one guy who quit right before he lost and both times I got nothing. Is that supposed to be that way? If someone quits you get nothing?
