thank you for the guide!
Kudos also for the dates!

Comment by JRSH

You can also use Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling:-

Thunderbolt, spam Breath until Deebs dies

On Tyri's first turn Decoy, then Thunderbolt, then spam Breath until Tyri dies. Carry pet will take a bit of damage from Omnilash so needs to have a few hundred hp to survive.

On Puzzle's first turn switch to carry pet, then straight back to MPD. Buffed Thunderbolt will devastate Puzzle, and you can finish off with Breath, throwing in a Decoy when available.

Excellent guide! There is a similar older guide at Easy Garrison Pet Battle Powerleveling With Squirt, but this one is much more comprehensive.

It's worth noting that for the Fjord Worg Pup (or equivalent) + Ghostly Skull strategy to work, the Fjord Worg Pup or alternative needs to have MAXIMUM 1416 HP, as it needs to die off in the second round when facing Tyri.

The formula you have for experience that Squirt will give you is an excellent addition! While it's not absolutely necessary, I thought it might be worthwhile simplifying it to:

Buffs * 7.5 * (Your_Pet_Level + 9) * (30 - Your_Pet_Level)

It should yield the same result.

Comment by JRSH

Another good tamer to level pets is Ashlei in SV. Sprite Darter Hatchling (or Nether Fairie Dragon) can solo the fight and because Doodle does no damage you can swap in 2 level 1 pets.

Arcane Blast
Moonfire
Spam Arcane Blast until you kill Pixiebell.

Life Exchange on Doodle.
Moonfire

Arcane Blast x 3 to kill the swapped in talbuk, and Doodle will be all alone and vulnerable.
Swap in both Carry Pets and then murder Doodle however you like.

It's only once per day, but that can be better than waiting the 2 weeks until Squirt appears in your Garrison.

Comment by jaxsonbateman

Nifty little guide. Unfortunately found it too soon before Squirt came around this time (today), but in terms of a 2-pet combo I've been having success with Fossilized Hatchling and - you guessed it - Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling.

Moveset for Dragonling is Dragon Breath, Bombing Run and Self Destruct, and moveset for Fossil is basic Bone Bite/Ancient Blessing/Bonestorm.

Together the two of them can take out the three pets - the only issue is they offer virtually no protection to the first pet, who will have to take 2-3 Omnislash hits. In terms of getting the carry pet out, I'd suggest doing it when Puzzle is out due to always using dodge, and thus being predictable when you can get a safe swap in.

Comment by Iceymilkey

For the Dragonkin/Blighthawk strategy you can substitute Blighthawk with Voodoo Figurine which comes from the Troll branch of Archeology.

Comment by icemannl

For the infinite whelpling/blighthawk combo if you use your heal after 3 tail swipes it allows you to survive tyri's first attack wich gives the option to use early advantage wich then eliminates the need to use infected claw on tyri with your blighthawk (ghostly bite will kill it). This should make the fight 1 turn shorter

Comment by xYusuke23x

Due to the changes with Howl, the strategy with the P/P Fjord Worg Pup (or any of its substitutes) is no longer viable, as you do not kill Deebs fast enough with only one Howl'd Bite. The pup will die before it can get its second Howl off on Tyri.

I would also like to point out that, while the damage from Cleave was nerfed by 25%, the Enchanted Broom/Weebomination strategy is still viable. It is no longer as fast as it used to be, but even with unfortunate crits on your Weebomination you should still be able to defeat Deebs and Tyri before your undead phase is over. Your Enchanted Broom should then be more than enough to take out Puzzle.

Comment by Laringar

Dates are now inaccurate, Squirt showed up on September 6th, 2016 on NA server.

Comment by zeromic

Is up today!

Edit: Exp gain is changed: With Safari Hat and Both Pet Treats my level 1 pets gain 6706 Exp and reaching lvl 14.

Comment by Purpleurza

I've just come across this guide as I haven't been doing much with Pets for the past expansion, however I've found that my P/P Fjord Worg Pup and my H/P Ghostly Skull are still able to reliably win this battle.

Granted 2 crits from Deebs requires a forfeit of the match as your pup will die before it can howl at Tyri, but this still works reliably 90% or more of the time from my small period of usage.

I used the following rotation, modified slightly from the original one above:
Start with P/P Fjord Worg Pup
Cast Dazzling Dance
Cast Howl
Cast Bite until Deebs is dead
Squirt switches to Tyri
Cast Howl (Fjord Worg Pup should die)
Switch to Ghostly Skull
Cast Ghostly Bite (Tyri should die)
Squirt switches to Puzzle
Swap to carry
Swap back to Ghostly Skull
Cast Shadow Slash
Cast Ghostly Bite

Comment by jimbobaus

So i have a 100% success rate with the following combo
1) Carry
2) Mechanical Panderian Dragonling (MPD)
3) Ghostly Skull

Start with Carry, Cast Anything
Switch to MPD
Cast Breath for next 3 Rounds
Deebs Dies
Tyri Active
Cast Breath
MPD Dies but will Rez but will be forced to switch
Switch to Ghostly Skull
Cast Ghastly Bite
Tyri Dies
Puzzle Active
Switch to MPD
Cast Breath
MPD will then Die
Switch to Ghostly Skull
Cash Shadow Slash for 3 turns (sometimes 2)

Comment by MKHASA

I thought I would post an update for Squirt's appearance on the North American servers.

She appeared yesterday January 4th, 2017.

The calendar above predicts she will appear at the Garrison on January 8th, 2017. Looks like it was off by 4 days.

Hope that helps.

Comment by Purpleurza

Stolen from the US forums link this is now my go to for Squirt, RNG is basically non-existent.

S/S Bronze Whelpling / Spectral Tiger Cub (or Widget the Departed)
it's 100% consistent and can be used with any level carry and takes about 1 minute 20 seconds.

Start with bronze whelpling
1. tail sweep
2. tail sweep
3. tail sweep
4. tail sweep (Deebs is dead)
5. early advantage (bronze whelpling dead)
6. select spectral tiger cub and use spectral strike (tyri dead)
7. switch to carry
8. switch back to spectral tiger cub
9. prowl
10. spectral strike (puzzle dead)

Comment by Wheeljack

Super-quick, failproof works from level 1 strategy I picked up from Myzou at http://www.warcraftpets.com/

Enchanted Broom - 2/2/2
Boneshard - 2/2/2
Level Pet

1. Sweep
2. Swap to Level Pet
3. Swap to Boneshard
4. BONESTORM
5. BONESTORM
6. BONESTORM
7. Pass (Boneshard Dies, Bring in Enchanted Broom)
8. Wind-Up
9. Wind-Up (Puzzle Dies)
10. Batter(Deebs Dies)
11. Batter (Tyri Dies)

Above tactic still works as of patch 8.01

Comment by SargonStarblade

Just to let everyone know. If the Battle pet event is up Sign of the Critter and you are power leveling your pets, do not waste your Lesser Pet Treat and Pet Treat. If you are wearing the Safari Hat one battle will take your pet from level 1 to level 17 and another will take it to level 25.

Using Safari Hat, Lesser Pet Treat and Pet Treat one battle will take your pet from level 1 to level 19 still requiring you to do a second battle to hit 25.

If you do not use any of Safari Hat, Lesser Pet Treat and Pet Treat one battle will take a fresh level one from level 1 to level 17, but without that extra 10% from Safari Hat the second battle will only take you to level 24 and will require a third battle to hit level 25.

EDIT:
If Sign of the Critter is not up, to get a fresh level 1 pet to 25 here is a breakdown:
Using the Safari Hat and a Pet Treat will take four battles (13, 19, 22, 25) ***Best Choice***
Using the Safari Hat a Lesser Pet Treat and a Pet Treat will also take four battles (14, 20, 24, 25)
Using the Safari Hat and a Lesser Pet Treat will take five battles (12, 17, 21, 23, 25)
Using a Lesser Pet Treat and a Pet Treat takes four battles (13, 19, 23, 25)
Using just the Safari Hat will take six battles (11, 16, 19, 22, 23, 25)
Using just a Lesser Pet Treat will take six battles (11, 17, 20, 23, 24, 25)
Using just a Pet Treat will take five battles (12, 18, 22, 24, 25)
Finally using no XP Boost will take seven battles (10, 15, 18, 21, 23, 24, 25)

Comment by Thraelin

While Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling can easily solo this fight, lower level / lower health carried pets may not survive many rounds of Tyri's Omnislash (I've found you need about 400+ health to consistently survive). However, if you farm for your own Anubisath Idol and raise it to max level, then you can follow this battle strategy to avoid all damage to the carry pet throughout the entire fight:

Your Team
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling: Breath, Thunderbolt, Decoy
Anubisath Idol: Crush, Sandstorm, Deflection
Any carry pet, even level 1!

- Start with Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling.
- Deebs Turn 1-3: Use Breath until Deebs can be about one-shot by Anubisath Idol's Crush (less than ~200 health).
- Deebs Turn 3 or 4: Switch to Anubisath Idol and use Crush to kill Deebs.
- Tyri Turn 1: Tyri swaps in and should be faster than Anubisath Idol, so use the Idol's Sandstorm to instantly negate the Moonlight weather effect and block all damage for your entire team from Tyri's subsequent Omnislash attacks.
- Tyri Turn 2: Tyri's second turn is always Surge of Light, so use the Idol's Deflection to avoid it entirely.
- Tyri Turn 3+: Continue using the Idol's Crush to kill Tyri, alternating to using Deflection every 3 rounds and (if needed) Sandstorm every 5 rounds.
- Puzzle Turn 1: Puzzle gets swapped in, who spends the first turn always casting Dodge, so use this free turn switching back in your Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling.
- Puzzle Turn 2: Puzzle is still invulnerable due to Dodge, so just pass. You'll get hit with Coin Toss, but it will only do ~68 damage unless it crits.
- Puzzle Turn 3: Use Thunderbolt for 610 damage. Puzzle will hit only a little harder with Coin Toss.
- Puzzle Turn 4: Use Breath for decent damage, boosted by Greedy.
- Puzzle Turn 5: Use Decoy, blocking one attack.
- Puzzle Turn 6: Now it's time to switch in your low-level Carry Pet. Puzzle should waste this turn doing Dodge again.
- Puzzle Turn 7: Do any action with your low-level Carry pet, which will likely be blocked by the enemy's Dodge, but so will Decoy block the enemy's attack.
- Puzzle Turn 8: Switch back in Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling and finish off Puzzle (if your Dragonling died a second time, Anubisath Idol should also be able to finish him off).

This strategy isn't 100% (due to misses from the weather effects of Call Darkness and Sandstorm) but should work about 99% of the time. I've done it many times to great success just today, leveling up pets from 1 to 25.

Comment by christianjlo

For me still the best strategy until now is with Enchanted Broom and Boneshard with the following unbeatable strategy (100% success rate) and very easy to use:

Enchanted Broom 2/2/2
Boneshard 2/2/2
Level Pet

1. Sweep
2. Switch Pet to Level Pet
3. Switch Pet to Boneshard
4. BONESTORM
5. BONESTORM
6. BONESTORM
7. Switch Pet to Enchanted Broom
8. Wind-Up
9. Wind-Up
10. Batter
11. Batter

Comment by tonyis3l33t

These adjustments on Fjord Worg Pup / Ghostly Skull did it for me:

Start with P/P Fjord Worg Pup
Cast Dazzling Dance
Cast Howl
Cast Bite till Deebs is dead
Squirt switches to Tyri
~~Cast Dazzling Dance~~
Cast Howl ( Fjord Worg Pup should die)
Switch to Ghostly Skull
cast Ghostly Bite (should 1-shot Tyri)
Squirt switches to Puzzle
Swap to carry
Swap back to Ghostly Skull
Finish off Puzzle with Ghostly Skull using whatever

Comment by Tomcatbear

I haven't seen anyone link the Rematch string, so here it is.

Squirt:2DAB:22256L:12261BI:11152CJ:N:1. Broom uses sweep (swaps in puzzle)\n2. Swap in Carry Pet.\n3. Swap in Weebomination.\n4. Weeb uses cleave until he is dead.\n5. Bring in Broom.\n6. Use Wind up. Wind up again if you can hit puzzle, if not use batter.\n\nWIN!

Comment by Ashardis

what's the pattern to those date cycles? I'd like to know when it'll be in EU garrisons for 2019

Comment by foothillsco

This has worked 5x in a row so far with no problems.

#1 Carry, needs 500 hp
#2 MPD 1,2,2
#3 Carry, needs to be over 15 (will be attacking a humanoid)

Puzzle always casts dodge first.

1) open with carry, cast anything, prefer a DoT
2) switch to MPD, thunderbolt, breath until Deebs dies
3) cast decoy, breath until Tyri is dead
4) thunderbolt, breath until Squirt is under 400 hp
5) swap to strong carry to finish off. Expect a dodge so plan accordingly.

Comment by Daaltron3000

An update for the Double Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling strategy:

This is NOT level 1 safe for DRAGONKIN pets, and also RNG will not let your pet survive more times than I care to have lacking insurance. I've changed my rotation to be this:

Ling 1: Thunderbolt
Swap to Ling 2
Ling 2: Breath if debuffed with Weakness, Thunderbolt
Swap to Ling 1
Ling 1: Breath until Thunderbolt is off cooldown and not debuffed with Weakness.
Deebs dies, Tyri comes out
Ling 1: Breath
Ling 1: Explode

This is the only point in the fight when RNG can make you reset, because of a missed Explode. However with the extra thunderbolts and some good Breath curve damage, you could be in a position that Tyri will die from your second dragonling using Breath.

Ling 2: Breath until Tyri dies
Tyri dies, Puzzle comes out
Swap to carry pet
Swap to Ling 2
Cast Breath
If Puzzle is below 610 and you have the coin buff, Thunderbolt will kill. Otherwise, spam breath.

This is a few extra steps but much more consistent in ensuring that your pet at the back will survive, and almost required to make a Dragonkin pet survive. I've had my back line get double crit, and also missed an Explode AND an initial Breath in one round thanks to Darkness. Never again with this strategy except for those incredibly BS 1% scenarios of double miss.
