Here is my Quicklist Guide to the Cataclysm Section of the Pet Trainer Quests. This is a quick reference to see what type of pets you will need to defeat the trainers easily. On Trainers who have the same type of pet for all 3 pets in their party, I would recommend you bring at least two pets that are the opposite type (i.e. bring three appropriate leveled Mechanical types to fight three trainer Beasts). Don't rely on fighting all three of their pets with just one of yours, despite the fact that they will have stronger attacks and defeat them quicker.

Cataclysm Trainer Quest Line

To defeat these trainers with maximum efficiency, you will need pets of the following type:
Beast, Dragonkin, Aquatic, Mechanical

Brok – Mount Hyjal – Level 25
Quickteam List – Beast, Dragonkin
Pet 1: Ashtail – Critter – Use Beast
Pet 2: Kali – Magic – Use Dragonkin
Pet 3: Incinderous – Critter – Use Beast

Bordin Steadyfist – Deepholm – Level 25
Quickteam List – Aquatic, Beast
Pet 1: Ruby – Elemental – Use Aquatic
Pet 2: Crystallus – Critter – Use Beast
Pet 3: Fracture – Elemental – Use Aquatic

Goz Banefury – Twilight Highlands – Level 25
Quickteam List – Aquatic, Dragonkin, Mechanical
Pet 1: Twilight – Elemental – Use Aquatic
Pet 2: Amythel – Magic – Use Dragonkin
Pet 3: Helios – Beast – Use Mechanical

*Author's Note: In writing this guide, I used various references from wowhead and warcraftpets.com. I did not write this guide as I was doing each trainer. Some information might be wrong. Please feel free to comment and I will change it as needed.

Bordin Steadyfist:

Crystallus - Critter
Ruby - Elemental
Fracture - Elemental

You'll probably want to have a critter considered a "roach" on your team because Crystallus uses Apocalypse. Although it's very possible to knock this out in less than 15 turns, he opens with this ability most of the time so you'll need to burn his pets in less than 15 turns. Beetles are also considered roaches for the purpose of this ability.

I suggest a fast pet for Crystallus because he uses Hiss so Flank does extra damage OR consider a pet with Powerball to keep your speed up. Softshell Snapling (or any Pandarian turtle) is a good choice because it has Bite AND the elemental pets later in the fight will be weak against it. (Sifang Otter Pup is also a good choice because it can have both Aquatic AND Beast abilities so is strong against all three of his pets.

Stack Aqatic pets for the two elementals (turtles, toads, or the previous suggested.) and you'll have no problem with the elemental pets (although you probably will lose at least one pet to Crystal Overload.

Nearest Stable Master: Beast-Handler Rustclamp (Horde) / Mule Driver Ironshod (Alliance)

Goz Banefury

Helios - Beast
Amythel - Magic
Twilight - Elemental

Use any pet with Aquatic abilities to make quick work of the Elemental Pet (Any frog, toad or turtle, even Water Waveling) Laser hit's pretty hard and Darkflame reduces healing, so you might forgo a HP focused healer for a damage focused Aquatic with Cleansing Rain for harder hits. Lifelike Toad is a good choice for this fight too because Laser does reduced damage against Mechanical. Try not to kill it while Dark Rebirth is up (because then it basically gets a couple rounds for free until it dies)... either switch pets or use a healing ability when it's up if you're close to killing it.

Any Dragonkin will eat his Magic pet alive. I prefer a pet with Scorched Earth, so I can use Conflagrate to burst down another one of his pets. (Fel Flame is amazing for this fight because it has Flame Breath AND Scorched Earth, so he will make quick work of the magic pet and still have a double hit Conflagrate for the next pet. (Although he does have Creeping Ooze (Aquatic) that is strong against Elemental, it still does piddly damage.)

Any mechanical will do well against his Beast (I used (Landro's Lil' XT or Lil' XT) for Tympanic Tantrum and it was nearly dead before it hit the front line.) (Also, interesting to pair Tympanic Tantrum with Call Lightning for some serious back line damage against Beasts, so Wild Golden Hatchling isn't a bad choice for this fight either because it's Breath is strong against Magic.)

Nearest Stable Master: Kennen (Alliance) Rukh Zumtarg(Horde)

Brok

Kali - Magic
Ashtail - Beast
Incinderous - Critter

Any Dragonkin will eat his Magic pet alive. I prefer a pet with Scorched Earth, so I can use Conflagrate to burst down another one of his pets. (Fel Flame is amazing for this fight because it has Flame Breath AND Scorched Earth, so he will make quick work of two of his pets.)

If you've got a Mechanical pet that also has Beast moves (Tranquil Mechanical Yeti, Landro's Lil' XT, De-Weaponized Mechanical Companion, Mechanical Squirrel, Personal World Destroyer or Lil' XT all have Thrash) you'll have 1 pet strong against both his Critter and his Beast.

Nearest Stable Master: Aili Greenwillow (Horde/Alliance)

Grand Master Obalis:

Don't bother trying to bring a Mechanical for bonus damage against his Beast. Poison Fang does elemental damage, so it will do Strong damage against a Mechanical, so either bring a healing mechanical, or fight this pet with a neutral type. (Flying takes less Beast damage, so Mei Li Sparkler isn't a bad choice because it can be tamed at a higher level (21-22)) Also one should consider Wild Golden Hatchling for this fight because of the bonus Mechanical damage it brings with Call Lightning.

Spring is dispatched easily by any magic dealing pet (I used Emerald Turtle because it has Emerald Bite (although it took quite a lot of punishing from Flying moves being strong against Aquatic). Nordrassil Wisp is the highest level capturable Magic pet that I could find to use, but I chose Emerald Turtle over it simply because I could tame one at a higher level and spend less time leveling it.

Closest Stable Master: Darwishi (Horde/Alliance)

Note for Bordin Steadyfist:

If the Earth Elemental denizens of Deepholme are currently besieging the Temple, Bordin will be inaccessible due to phasing. Reccomendation: Complete quests or use an alt.

Comment by Aislinge

As each of the Alliance and Horde 'Battle Pet Tamers:' quests have a unique quest ID, you are able to carry an Alliance and Horde one at the same time.

They will show as (Account) in your quest log and can be completed by any character.

When you fight each respective Battle Pet Tamer, it will mark off for both Alliance and Horde quest lines and once completed, you will be rewarded with not one but two Sack of Pet Supplies.

It is irrelevant which character you complete this on as both quests will auto-complete in the field. However, the character which accepts the auto-complete will receive the satchels, regardless of which character picked up the quest (this is important if you like your pet goodies on one particular character).

It does not give you a double shot at the Grand Master Quests (example Grand Master Antari)

This is a great way of doubling your chances at pet and battle stone drops.
