With her title as grand master pet tamer I'm assuming this is one of the final if not THE final pet battle in the whole chain.

Aki the Chosen is the final Grand Master Pet Tamer you need to defeat for Taming Pandaria. You must have already completed Battle Pet Tamers: Pandaria / Battle Pet Tamers: Pandaria.

Her pets are:

Chirrup - a level 25 Red Cricket (1600 Health / 300 Power / 375 Speed), with the abilities Inspiring Song, Nature's Touch, and Swarm
Stormlash - a level 25 Wild Crimson Hatchling (1769 Health / 334 Power / 300 Speed), with the abilities Call Lightning, Roar, and Tail Sweep
Whiskers - a level 25 Golden Civet (1600 Health / 334 Power / 334 Speed), with the abilities Dive, Surge, and Survival

Counter her Critter / Dragonkin / Aquatic team with Beast / Humanoid / Flying pets and abilities respectively.

Defeating Aki will also unlock the Panderia Pet Battle Daily Quests.

Comment by Samin

For having a legendary team I found this fight less intense than against some of the TBC tamers. Which makes me happy should we ever be able to catch legendary pets or upgrade normal pets to epic status, the benefit isn't actually that huge.

Comment by Mairin

Even though the fight wasn't as brutal as I thought, there was still a tiny moment of panic when the fight first started and I saw the orange text =P (addon function)

I went with a flayer (anti-dragon), gryphon (anti-aquatic) and shardhorn (anti-critter) team and she wasn't too much trouble although I did have a bit of a false start. My shardhorn made a serious mess of the critter but I hadn't realized I still had the +100% damage debuff from stampede and the dragon's call lightning crit 1 shotted me for like 1600ish damage =P Apart from that unlucky combo, the next attempt barely even needed the 3rd pet.

Defeted her with:

Spiny Terrapin (Bite, Headbutt, Healing Wave) vs Red Cricket

Gregarious Grell (Punch, Phase Shift, Cauterize) vs Wild Crimson Hatchling

Wild Jade Hatchling (Tail Sweep, Roar, Lift-Off) vs Golden Civet

Comment by Aliandrin

Stormlash, the Dragon:

Counter Call Lightning with any of the following abilities:

Flock
Stampede
Swarm

...These add the double-damage taken buff to the enemy and hit three times per turn, causing the lightning to strike your enemy, per turn, three times for double damage.

Damage abilities which add extra damage under a condition such as Gnaw and Pounce also seem to make the lightning strike twice.

The Alipne Foxling Kit and its clones (moveset/model matches) make excellent opponents for Stormlash with this moveset:

Flurry/Howl/Leap

It really isn't about type-matching here for the following reasons:
1. Supereffective moves aren't going to chew through Stormlash's massive hit points quickly enough without added advantage because he is in fact an orange-quality epic pokemon, and with purples and oranges, hit points grow far more than other stats.
2. Not-very-effective moves, when unleashed upon your pathetic, two-quality-level-lower team, will still wipe them away. Being fair here, it is possible to type-match this, though, because Call Lightning and Roar, Stormlash's off-type moves, are on hefty cooldowns, so he'll be using Tail Sweep most often. Finding an undead-type with a favourable moveset might be a problem, though.
3. Call Lightning simply advantages the pokemon who hits the most times. Whatever you do, just don't force yourself into going first unless you're doing so very trickily (Fox Kit can handle it, because with a Howl, then a Leap and a Flurry, by the time that's done you're going last again) or you're going to get hit with a double-lightning-strike Tailsweep. You normally don't have to worry about going first because Stormlash is an epic, with the stats of an epic, including speed. Just don't intentionally make it happen and it won't.

Chirrup, the Cricket:

I laugh here. Simple, simple strategy because all it has is Swarm. (And a bunch of heals.)

1. Shield yourself. That's it. Shell Shield, Jadeskin, and Stoneskin come to mind. You're going to be taking a lot less from Swarm. As of now, the damage is taken off from Stoneskin before double-damage is applied to it. You'll take little to nothing.

Again, it's not about mindless type matching here. The very final gym leader is intended as a chess battle of strategy-matching. (Though when 5.1 hits and you get the ability to upgrade Feline Familiar to a rare, this is going to be an excellent match-up.)

Whiskers, the Otter:

1. Because it has Dive, you're going to want to go first to avoid it. Something to note here is that moves such as Dig and Dive don't work as one might suspect (you Dig after they Dig, Dive after they Dive, or any combination of those and you still get hit even though you're not supposed to be hittable) however... Fly trumps them both, and it's supereffective, so...

2. Basically, just use anything that's got Fly. The otter isn't very hard to defeat with this in mind, so I would choose Imperial Eagle Chick. This might make you have to take a second shot at this fight, however, since you might hit a few snags or crits or whatever and have to use one of your other pokemon on Stormlash, and you don't really want to use a bird for that, since your best attack is going to be weak. Take this moveset so you won't be too weak against Stormy if that comes up:
Thrash/Adrenaline Rush/Fly

Comment by raogrimm2

At first glance Aki might seem like a challenge, however I've been able to turn her into my best source of power leveling pets, and here is how you do it. To start be sure you've defeated Aki once, so she now gives a daily quest to fight her on a regular basis. Follow these steps and not only will you defeat Aki each time, but will get 1600-2400 exp a battle with the pet your hoping to level (it is recommended its about lvl 15+).

Step One
You will need two specific pets, but with time you might find a combo that suits you better. I used Mini-Thor and Onyxian Whelping, but you can use Clockwork Gnome and Spawn of Onyxia as they have the same abilities.

Step Two
Mini-Thor goes first, followed by Onyxia Whelpling and you want to take on Stormlash first so if you get Chirrup forfeit and challenge Aki again until your mechanical fighter is up against Aki's dragon.

Step Three
Mini-Thor's abilities that I use are Missile, Toxic Smoke, and Launch Rocket. Start with smoke then launch rocket, so 2, 3, 3. You should beat Stormlash and either defeat or leave Chirrup Aki's cricket near death.

Step Four
Next up is your Whelping, and the abilities I chose are Tail Sweep, Healing-Flame, and Lift-Off. If Chirrup is still up just use your Tail Sweep until he is dead, then use Lift-Off once your up against Whiskers Aki's final pet. Whiskers always dives on its first turn and so if you use Lift-Off the main ability of Whiskers will miss and your Whelping will always go last with it slamming whiskers for nearly half its health.

Step Five
Follow Lift-Off with Healing-Flame, then use Tail Sweep until Whiskers is about 500 Health, wait until Whiskers uses its shield that prevents it from dying to use Tail Sweep (only once). This should either leave whiskers with 1 health or under 200 health.

Step Six
Let Whiskers kill your whelping, so your third pet (the one you want to level) enters the field (be sure this is at least level 15). Use that pets most powerful attack and Whiskers should die, if you miss your health should be high enough to attack again and give it a 2nd go. If you follow these steps Whiskers will die and depending on your pets level it will award 1600-2400 exp in a single fight.

Step Seven
Heal your team either with the stable master at your faction hub, or your revive pet ability and repeat steps 2 to 6. You should be able to do 1-2 levels a battle. Plus once you win, just abandon Aki's daily to repeat the fight for more experience.

If you find this useful please up it.

Logged on this morning to find a mail from Aki, including a small note and a heavy sack of gold containing 3000 gold. She was defeated several days ago, so it must have been added in patch 5.1 :D

Comment by Zythene

Just want to let everyone know that after 5.1, yes, there is a 3,000g reward for this achievement ("I Choose you").

HOWEVER! For those of you that have ALREADY ACHIEVED THIS PRIOR TO THE PATCH, you will receive this money ONCE through the mail on only one character and because this is an account based achievement, only ONE CHARACTER WILL RECEIVE IT. That means that if you decide to log on to a character on a different faction or realm, then characters on other realms and faction will not receive the reward.

Unfortunately I decided to log on to an alt on a different realm (completely forgetting about the reward as well >.< ), was given it in my mail, logged back on my main on a different realm and couldn't receive the money there.
I used the money to buy more battle pets on the AH in the end.

So just a warning, hopefully before anyone else makes this mistake.(##RESPBREAK##)524##DELIM##MasterOfDisguise##DELIM##

I just got a mail from Aki the Chosen
he sent me 3000 gold for beating him...
thanx Aki, you really have a good spirit on defeat :)

Comment by VersaiRage

Stormlash
Use GrassLand Hopper - Start with Swarm, then Nature's Touch - should die

Chirrup
Use Celestial Dragon - Start with Ancient Blessing to counter the 1st weather strike, Moonfire to change weather and increase healing, Breath and Heal on next cd. Repeat beath and heal. Should live through and be able to take 1st dive from Whiskers. Not sure if the weather change on this makes Chirrup start healing but your damage and heals are stronger than his.

Whiskers
Use Pandaren Monk - had to use on 1st go but didn't even need to get him out for daily since the healing was enough on Celestial Draon to survice dive. If you have to get the Monk out. Use Fury of Fists, then Focus Chi, then Jab. Then jab, jab..the jab give you healing to survive a second dive should it come off cd. Hopefully you will still have the weather up for healing buff's from the Celestial Dragon. If you see your Dragon about to die rebuff the weather to increase the healing the Monk does each time it attacks.

Comment by Cirrimus

The Elemental pet Racial works very well on this fight. The extra lightning strikes do not hit your pet, however they will still gain the boon of extra strikes for their attacks. Lil' Ragnaros in this fight was pretty hilarious under this effect.

Comment by tacololo

Just to show how many possibilities there are. I defeated her with the amethyst spiderling, malayan quilrat pup and a marsh fiddler.

strike/brittle webbing/swarm . Swarm dmg double if you first apply webbing.
Chirrup goes down. You then have one hit on stormlash before you get one shot.
Then the quilrat poison fang/counterstrike/survival. start with counterstrike and hit survival in time and you will down stormlash with one point left. That leaves effectively a one against one between whiskers and the marsh fiddler. I used skitter/cocoon strike and natures touch.
cocoon strike is also very effective against dive. just use the heal every time on cd and although it takes a while you will win in the end. cocoon strike gives good dmg and an effective block afterwards.
I repeated this and so far I didnt lose this way.

Comment by polosport02

I finally got it totally by accident! This time being blinded by the pets all blurring into the grass that was the same color as my pets worked to my advantage. I was 2 shots into the the dragon, who came out first this time, when I realized I had my Clockwerk gnome out, who I had brought along for the chirper. I decided to stay with it, seemed to be working. The dragon dropped 3 shots later and out came the chirper so I healed up my gnome and killed him too. I then got the otter down to 1 hp with the gnome and brought out my darter and finished him off. I didn't even need my 3rd pet, who I am proud to say is a very fine Wind Rider Cub who despite a slow start has proven to be quite champion amongst pets. After having nerdishly tried every combination that logically made sense and getting this guy handled out of pure luck, I have to say the way to do him is to clear your mind and go with what comes up, be focused on killing the pets, stay clear minded and be flexible.
I just one shotted him again using the same philosophy! And the kill was nothing like the first one. 2 pets dead and finished the last 2 with my sprite darter!

Comment by Zerogoose

An easy way to defeat Aki the Chosen for massive experience if boosting a low level pet;

Make sure one of your pets has an ability that increases the damage done by each attack, such as Wild Magic
Another pet (or the same pet, if possible) with an ability that does damage over many rounds, even if the pet isn't active, such as Immolation
Any kind of active DoT, such as Flame Breath

This relies on using Stormlash's Call Lightning against him. With DoTs and Wild Magic kept up as often as possible, Aki's pets should die within a couple of rounds each. A combination of pets I've personally found to work very well when boosting a third is Minfernal and Voodoo Figurine.
Voodoo Figurine being particularly useful as it is Undead, meaning it will take reduced damage from Stormlash's Tail Sweep, which can potentially 2-shot your pets when Call Lightning is active.

Comment by 476166

I wanted to write up a consistent strategy so I can handle these fights easier - I never really paid attention to the actual moves the trainer's pets used, just what type they were, and it was holding me back from beating the dailies efficiently. I'd throw in any jerk with the opposing icon. When you're fighting against Legendary quality pets, though, who you put into the field matters - these guys will hit harder than any opponent you've ever faced, and the hardest part here tends to be survival. So if you want to ensure that you breeze through this fight, read on!

The pets don't always appear in the order listed, but you can run from the fight and go back again or switch your own order of pets if you'd like more choice in your set up. Eventually you'll get a line-up you're more comfortable with.

Chirrup, Critter - Inspiring Song, Nature's Touch, Swarm
1600 HP, 375 Speed, 300 Attack
For Chirrup, you want to avoid fielding pets with Elemental moves and avoiding fielding Undead - as a Critter, he's hit hard by Beast attacks, and his single move Swarm is weak against Humanoids. He tries to win by outlasting you via healing. That means you have three choices: a) field a Beast, who, while quicker to DPS him down, is extremely likely to die in the next fight, 2) field a Humanoid, who will take far less damage but will not efficiently DPS through Chirrup's self-heals (a Humanoid w/ a nuke is advised), or the optimal choice - 3) fielding a Humanoid with Beast abilities. What makes this the best option is that the Humanoid will be primed and ready for the next fight, where you'll face off against a Dragonkin. You have a batch of options, including Curious Wolvar Pup, Flayer Youngling, Kun-Lai Runt, and Stunted Yeti - take your pick, but make sure to keep some Humanoid moves in the slots!

Typical attack script pattern: Swarm (1), Swarm (2), Swarm (3), Nature's Touch, Inspiring Song

Stormlash, Dragonkin - Call Lightning, Roar, Tail Sweep
1769 Health, 300 Speed, 334 Attack
For Stormlash, we're looking at an immediate nuke in the form of Call Lightning. Remember how I said your Beast won't last long if chosen? This is why - Call Lightning's initial bang, along with the extra mechanical damage added to each of his attacks, will absolutely devastate any Beast, and they won't live. However, Humanoid abilities can take Stormlash down pretty quick, and because Stormlash has a hodgepodge of different ability types (his moves are weak toward no specific type), choosing a pet with strong Humanoid abilities is the safest route. I'd also advise that your Humanoid have a hard-hitting nuke ability, like Pandaren Monk's Fury of 10,000 Fists. Stormlash hits very hard due to Roar and rips through even a Humanoid, so you don't want him staying alive for too long.

Typical attack script pattern: Call Lightning, Roar, Tail Sweep, Tail Sweep

Whiskers, Aquatic - Dive, Surge, Survival
1600 HP, 334 Speed, 334 Attack
For Whiskers, there are two big options: both of his Aquatic moves are weak against Magic-types, so a Magic pet will have survivability, but as an Aquatic type, he's weak against Flying abilities - this means if you want to be efficient, you'll want a Magic pet with Flying abilities, which as of this writing means Jade Owl. I recommend a Flying pet to nuke him into submission - due to their speed, Flying pets almost always get the first strike. Start with a basic attack, and as soon as you see him go under for Dive, you can use a move like Lift-Off afterward, so he always misses his nuke while you nearly always hit with yours. You can expect Whiskers to Dive whenever it's off CD (including at the beginning of the battle), and when he's not diving, he will always get the first move due to Surge.

Typical attack script pattern: Dive (dig under), Dive (burst out), Surge, Surge, Surge,

And that's it - you've beat Aki, you're 3K richer, and you'll get your Bag of Pet Supplies along with an assortment of cheeves! Now it's time to face the Pandaren Spirits.

I'm attaching one strategy that works well for beating this trainer. Of course, there are plenty of ways to beat any trainer.

Pets:
1) Half the time begins with a critter. Doesn’t hit hard, but spends almost every turn with an attack that causes your pet to take double damage for the next two turns.
2) Half the time starts with a dragon. Has an extremely hard hitting ability that it will use when it comes out that makes the weather cause all pets to take damage when they attack.
3) Finishes with a water pet with standard abilities

Team makeup to counter this: Fox Kit (from Tol Barad) or a fox with equivalent abilities, Pandaren Monk (other humanoid abilities will work, but this is an exceptionally effective pet), and a pet with flying attacks. Do not use stuns on the first or second pets the enemy uses as this will cause them to simply swap it, messing up your counters.

How to use this:

1) Start with your Fox Kit and keep pulling the trainer until she begins with the critter. If she begins with the dragon, forfeit and try again. Make sure the Fox Kit is equipped with Bite, Furious Howl, and Dazzling Dance. Open with Dazzling Dance and kill the critter with Bite, nothing special. However, when it’s obvious the critter is going to die on the next attack, re-apply Dazzling Dance so your next pets will have it.

2) The dragon will be second. This is arguably, by far, the most dangerous pet as it has an extremely hard-hitting ability and your current pet will have a +100% damage taken buff on it. When the dragon comes out, use your Furious Howl, and the dragon’s opening ability should kill your Fox Kit. Bring out the Pandaren monk. Make sure it is equipped with Jab, Focus Chi, and Fury of a Thousand Fists. Spend your first turn using Focus Chi. Now, at this point, you should have one turn remaining where the enemy dragon still has Furious Howl on it and your Monk has Focus Chi. Use Fury of a Thousand Fists, which hits hard on its own and is strong against dragons, and the dragon should die with massive overkill (you’re looking at about a 2.8k hit), trivializing this pet. If you don’t have a Pandaren Monk, any pet with a hard-hitting humanoid ability should work, though it may not one-shot the dragon. Peddlefeet’s “Shot Me Through the Heart” ability is likely one good option if you can upgrade this to a rare pet.

3) The final enemy pet will be a water pet. There is nothing particularly special here, do whatever damage you can with your humanoid pet until it dies, then finish off this water enemy with a pet with flying abilities.

Comment by 1062573

If you are having trouble with Grand Master Aki, it is likely because of the with the Call Lightning ability cast by Stormlash. If the critter pet is first, your current pet will be taking double damage, and this ability hits extremely hard. If you are having trouble dealing with this, you should check out the Tiny Bog Beast pet. This pet is Elemental and thus resistant to the mechanical damage of the Call Lightning, not to mention immune to the negative effects of the storm (the perk of being Elemental). It also has a Humanoid attack, which will do double damage against Dragonkin; this is currently the only Elemental pet in the game with a Humanoid attack, making it uniquely suited for handling this ability.

Comment by DreamboundKae

I greatly enjoy making use of Call Darkness in most trainer pet battles, and I highly suggest using a combination with this ability against Aki. The attack is very effective against her dragonkin, and the lingering anti-healing effect will counter her cricket's healing.

I had no trouble against her with the following team:

Scourged Whelpling vs Stormlash: Tail Sweep, Call Darkness (use to counter Call Lightening), Plagued Blood (bit of health refund). Call Darkness should extend into weakening the healing done by Chirrup.
Darkmoon Cub (or other cat with this skillset) vs Chirrup - Pounce, Screech (slow it down), Devour (is weaker under a Call Darkness effect, but still useful)
Gilnean Raven vs Whiskers - Peck (as Whiskers' Surge will often counter your speed, Alpha Strike will not be as powerful), Call Darkness, Nocturnal Strike.

Comment by 1051913

Fluxfire Feline, 1st turn windup, 2nd turn, supercharge, 3rd turn, windup....dead stormlash

Comment by 34517

Topaz Shale Hatchling is sick against this guy. The Stoneskin nullifies the Lightning Storm AND the Swarm, meaning you can easily take out two pets with one and just have whatever two other pets you like for his third. You're welcome.

Comment by 1064521

One-shotted this boss using:

Panther Cub (25) (Rare) - Pounce, Rake, Devour

Flayer Youngling (25) (Rare) - Blitz, Reflection, Rampage

Proto-Drake Whelp (25) (Uncommon) - Breath, Ancient Blessing, Proto Strike

The critter came up first I nuked down easily with damage mitigation from the Panther alongside being the faster pet which allowed for big dmg Pounce. Then I healed up to 80% hp through Devour.

I killed Dragonkin to 40% hp with the Panther before it died. I used the Flayer Youngling then which quickly dispatched of the Dragonkin reflecting 600dmg straight up killing the second pet.

The third pet was killed to 10% through lucky dodging on Dive and one reflect. Then my Proto-Drake Whelp dispatched of the aquatic with a sole use of Breath.

Extremely easy fight for me though slightly lucky on RNG and dodging 1x Dive ability.

Comment by Nagassh

For anyone lucky enough to have the Cataclysm CE - lil' Deathwing makes a fantastic pet to battle Aki with.

Stormlash seems to always start the fight with Call Lightning, using your slower lil' Deathwings Nightfall will usually result in a huge hit to Stormlash and changing the weather to something both more favorable and capable of gimping her crickets heal - one Tail Sweep will then often kill Stormlash - an elementium bolt before your now cripples Deathwing dies can go a long way towards killing her following pet.

A magical crawdad with Snap, Shell Shield and Wish can usually deal with the other 2 pets alone - allowing a lower level pet to be swapped in for one round and rake up a heap of bonus experience.

Comment by Pothemus

I've just defeated her earlier and I did't have any humanoids pet to battle her dragon with so I went along my with instead since Mechanicals pets do 25% more damage during the storm.

I nuked her with Shock & Awe and the normal Missile attack, when her pet's HP is low enough just use the Ion Cannon if you know you're going to die the next turn.

Alternatively, you could also use a pet which can do DoTs or hits multiple time every turn as they'll proc the damage on the dragon too. I didn't get to try my spiderling on the dragon because it died before it could fight the dragon. However, I did manage to leave a DoT and the brittle web on the dragon which caused it to take extra damage from the storm whenever they procc-ed

Goodluck =)

Comment by 1049673

After some research done at this particular page, I was able to defeat Aki on my first try using this setup:
Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling lvl 25 Uncommon
Grotto Vole lvl 23 Rare
Stunted Yeti lvl 25 Rare

Stormlash opened with Call Lightning, I had the Vole up waiting for him and applied Sting, and then finished him with Stampede. Both pets died at the end of the fourth turn. Afterwards it was just a matter of time, three turns of Yeti's Rampage + Call Lightnig bonus damage killed his critter. I waited the Yeti to die to his third pet, and then the Gryphon Hatchling one-shotted it with Lift-off.

Edit: I have no idea how to fix my links, the code seems ok to me. Sorry : /

Comment by WoWman95

Fairly easy tbh. I personally 1 shot it with a team of: Alpine Foxling, Small Frog, and Effervescent Glowfly (all 25 and rare). My abilities were: Fox= Flurry, Howl, Leap; Frog= Water Jet, Healing Wave, Frog Kiss; Glowfly= Slicing Wind, Confusing Sting, Swarm. I kept starting/resetting til dragon was first then i used howl, leap, flurry and he was out. Then for cricket i used leap 2x (died switched to frog) used water jet until he was dead, then switched to glowfly and spammed slicing wind and gg. Was simple enough imo.

Comment by helver

I've managed to kill Aki's pets several times in a row using two pets:

Flayer Youngling with Blitz, Reflection and Rampage
and
Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling with Peck, Slicing Wind and Flock

I try to get Chirrup first and bring the Flayer. Right off the bat, I start with a Rampage. By the time the Rampage is done, Chirrup is dead and my Flayer has the double damage debuff. The first thing Stormlash does is Call Lightning, so the first thing I do is Reflection. I then run Blitz until either Stormlash or the Flayer is dead. Then I bring in the Gryphon. The Gryphon will either be working against Stormlash or Whiskers. If it's Stormlash, I'll Flock which will be enough to kill Stormlash. Then it's just burn Whiskers. I am usually able to bring in my 3rd pet to do a little bit of damage in order to get the huge XP payday.

Comment by Daye

She is soloable for a level 25 Anubisath Idol with Crush, Reflection, and Sandstorm.

Start with Stormslash. Reflect the Call Lightning, change the weather, crush to victory.

For Chirrup, just keep up Sandstorm and the critter will never damage you. Swap your lowbie in and out with Sandstorm up. The Anubisath Idol will regenerate health through its Humanoid passive while it wittles down Chirrup, so he'll have high enough health by the time you get to the aquatic.

When you're on Whiskers, reflect every dive. He'll be easy, and Sandstorm is strong against his type.

Comment by Fatboy334881

I use a snake for this. Without missing, without critting, and by dodging just 1 of their moves, the snake can kill the cricket and dragon. Go with bite, counterstrike, burrow. Use burrow then bite spam on cricket. If you do it right you should have 75% health as the dragon comes up. You should survive the lightning, then use counterstrike(it takes the dragon under 50%). Burrow should be back up and if youre still alive after that use bite. The snake may die before the dragon but the dragon should be 1 shotted next round by a fast pet or a quick attack.

Comment by Kitaen

this trainer is pretty easy using Magical Crawdad with wish/shell shield/snap
you might add a good alround pet such as Onyxian Whelpling to be safe

if you want to carry a leveling pet this is the way to go

Comment by Synneer

I used these pets in this order w/ these abilities:

Panther Cub - claw/screech/prowl
started out with prowl, then clawed, then clawed again, left at about half of my health, then i screeched the Stormlash

Death Talon Whelpguard - blitz/whirlwind/darkflame
used blitz until Stormlash is dead, because of screech, the whelpguard is faster than Stormlash therefore blitz will hit twice for sure, then once Stormlash is dead, i used blitz first, because Whiskers dives, then i used darkflame, and blitz till dead, if you get unlucky your last pet should kill him if you have a flying, i had this guy

Pterrordax Hatchling - with the basic 3 moves, just slicing wind till dead, heal if needed

Comment by Cantralian

Using the advice here I chose (all rare level 25) Celestial Dragon for the cricket (roar, ancient blessing, and never used moonfire as it would have helped the cricket heal), Deathy for the dragon (punch and call darkness), and Dragonbone Hatchling (slicing wind, hawk eye, lift-off) for the civet.

Celestial Dragon survived the cricket by using Ancient Blessing every time it was off cooldown and was then one-shot by the dragon. I switched in Deathy and used call darkness to change the weather then just kept punching the dragon. Deathy always died with 20-40hp left on the dragon; I finished it with Dragonbone Hatchling's slicing wind. After that it was just slicing wind, saving lift-off for when the civet submerged.

It took about 5 fights before the RNG all went in my favour.

Many people may want to know how to 2-pet this boss in order to help level a third pet. I found a surprisingly effective method for doing this.

Pet 1) Anubisath Idol . This pet is the real trick to this fight, and I haven't found any pet with a comparable set of abilities uniquely suited for this boss. You want to pull until the trainer begins with their dragon pet; this may not matter too much, but the double-damage buff that the critter does is fairly dangerous when facing the dragon. Open the fight using Reflection, it'll reflect the hard-hitting weather ability of the dragon. At this point, use Crush repeatedly to kill the dragon.

When the critter comes out, use Sandstorm; now this is where it gets kind of funny. The critters only attack is Swarm, but it's weak against humanoids, and Sandstorm reduces damage, so it turns out Swarm ends up hitting for so little that the Idol doesn't even take damage. Easy win. At some point, you'll need to pull out your low level pet. With Sandstorm active, it's fairly safe to pull out a pet against the critter, but if you're really desperate, wait until a Swarm ends (it lasts 3 rounds), and then bring it out at that point.

Pet 2) Any flyer. You just need to kill the water pet now, it's easy. The Idol can probably do it fine as well, but the Flyer will be a lot faster and there's no reason not to use that third pet slot.

EDIT: My personal favorite for doing this easily, albeit not a requirement, is Gilnean Raven (Gilnean Raven). Open with Darkness, partially to get rid of the Lightning Storm (since you hit harder than your opponent, a flat +damage hurts you more than them). Peck once, and once they get in range of being killed with the strike, use it (it should do over 800 damage and will never miss unless the opponent dodges, since Darkness is up).

If you don't have that, use a Flyer with lift-off in order to avoid his second Dive. The problem you'll run into with this pet is that when he gets under about 30% health, he uses Survival. If you don't have anything that can knock him from like 40% to dead in a single hit, and if your slower than him (particularly if your Flying speed buff falls off due to taking damage), then he WILL end up activating this, and if he does, he'll probably get a chance to Dive before you can kill him.

Comment by Soko1off

(as someone already said, it's) Soloable by Anubisath Idol. Abilities: 1, 2, 3).
As well (thanks for Sandstorm) when u're fighting with Chirrup u're taking 0 (zero) damage, that means u can activate (even) 1lvl pet, hit 1 time and switch them back.
1lvl Battle pet gets 3625хр and becomes 10lvl (+71% more).

p.s. in that case the most complicate enemy is 'Whiskers, the Otter', so take with you any moth (f.e., Amber Moth), just for being on the safe side.
p.p.s. screenshot
p.p.p.s. if anyone knows how to abandon Grand Master Aki it would be sooo great place for lvling pets..

Comment by 267631

When battling Chirrup use one of the Shale Hatchlings (A Rare level 25 is best). Set the spider with these abilities… Leech Life, Sticky Web and Stoneskin. 1st use the Stoneskin (optional) then use Sticky Web (strong against Chirrup) and then Leech Life (does damage and heals you). Keep the Sticky Web effect on Chirrup at all times and then Leech Life him to death. If you do this not only will you kill Chirrup but your Shale Hatchling will have 100% health when he dies.

Comment by 1082727

I've been using this fight as a daily booster fight for lower level pets.

Basically I found that if she starts with Chirrup you can do this fight with only one pet - a Lava Crab. This works because Shell Shield totally negates the damage from Swarm - so you take 0 damage after you have taken the hit from swapping out the pet you want to boost.
All you have to do then is use Magma Wave to take out the back line pets. This takes a while but is the easiest, sure-fire way to get yourself a massive exp boost for one of your pets.

I recommend taking another pet just to make finishing off Chirrup after the other 2 a bit faster though!

It is possible for the Anubisath Idol to solo all 3 pets. However Stormlash makes it very difficult.

Comment by 945632

Began with the Fluxfire Feline (rare) against Stormlash; using wind up twice and won.
Mr. Pinchy(rare) started the next round and ate the cricket using Shell, Wish and Claw attack.
Had Mr. Pinchy at full health after Chirrup and easily finished off Whiskers FTW.

Although Mr. Pinchy is a super rare pet to acquire via fishing; it and the Fluxfire were just beasts against the Tamers.

Comment by oppel

So far I have found that the Sack of Pet Supplies that come from Aki seem to have a significantly higher chance of having a stone upgrade verses the non Pandaren trainers.

Comment by J48Johnson

I read the comments here and headed in against Aki the Chosen with a Flayer Youngling, Anubisath Idol, and an Imperial Eagle Chick in that order, against her critter, dragonkin, and aquatic in order.

The Flayer did a great job against the critter and the first half of the dragonkin, and I finished the dragonkin and aquatic pet with the Idol, never having to pull out the Eagle Chick.

Flayer Youngling; Triple Snap, Reflection, and Kick.
Anubisath Idol; Crush, Reflection, Sandstorm.
Imperial Eagle Chick; Slicing Wind, Cyclone, Lift-Off.

Comment by Therulnig

Another older comment alluded to this, but Clockwork Gnome can take out Stormlash and usually Chirrup too. Make sure she starts with Stormlash. Turret, Repair. Unless he misses he WILL force your rez during the Repair. Turret again and this should kill Stormlash.

Now you can either stay and beat on Chirrup til you die - usually taking him with you - or you can sub in a shielder that totally negates Chirrup's damage. Crawdad is the best choice because he can setup Wish allowing you to bring Gnome back in for one last Turret before the weather is completely gone. The otter is nothing special and can be cleaned up for the win.

Comment by 709812

I recently found a quite nice way on how to level my pets with aki. First i was using a snail but since the misses of the dive attack drove me nuts i switched to Spirit Crab . Skills i use are Snap, Shell Shield and Whirlpool.

General strategy is :

Forfeit until the dragon comes first.

Shell Shield, then Whirlpool as soon as it is available then Snap. If shell shield is about to wear off i recast it. Since the crab is undead it will take less damage from the tail attack. The shell shield protects it from the additional damage of the storm. If the crab does not miss an attack it will win the fight with around 200 - 400 hp.

The second pet cannot do anything against the crab. Thanks to the shield it will do zero damage to the crab and because of the Snap skill my crab destroys it.

The third pet will destroy the crab then with its dive attack. I often can cast another whirlpool before the crab dies but since its undead it gets one extra hit against the third pet. If the crab dies i bring my low level pet to survive one round (it should be able to survive one round, do not bring lvl 1 pets). After that i bring my air pet. I am using the Pterrordax Hatchling but i think any flying pet should be able to do this.

I used to use a snail in this setup but because it often misses the dive attack the fight against the second pet can be a pain. The snail won't get any damage of it either (because of the shield) but if a dive misses it basically means 3 to 5 more rounds.

If somebody wants to know: My spirit crab (rare ) has 1709 HP 292 Attack and 224 speed. I think a crab with lower HP (if possible) could have problems with the dragon.

Comment by Cyno01

Ive been able to solo her team with a rare Peddlefeet every day. Starting with two level 1 pets takes them to level 8, which is not too shabby a head start. WARNING: It is TEDIOUS, it takes anywhere between 70 and 100 rounds depending on luck.

For Peddlefeet you want:
Rapid Fire
Perfumed Arrow and
Love Potion

Make sure she starts with Chirrup, forfeit until she does, swap through your low levels, Chirrup only has one attack, Swarm, a critter attack so its weak against a Humanoid like Peddlefeet.

After that just do Rapid Fire until Chirrup is the only pet standing, it will take down Stormlash in the back row pretty quick and Whiskers a while after, then use Perfumed Arrow whenever its up to slowly take down Chirrup. Use Love Potion as needed throughout the battle, between that and Humanoid passive its impossible for Chirrup to kill Peddlefeet unless you let him, i like to keep him at around 50% for safetys sake. But like i said, it takes FOREVER to kill Chirrup.

I would guess this is all doable with even the default uncommon Peddlefeet, but i cant say for sure.

Comment by 1093779

I use a Bucktooth flapper, Peddlefeet & a Clockwork gnome for this, it takes me a couple times like 3-4 because the dragon hits harddd, but make sure you get the cricket first to use the Bucktooth flapper. lol

Aki is a big cheater, because her Golden Civet can somehow use Surge and Dive at the same time, which is impossible on a normal Golden Civet.

Comment by craigsea

I used Amethyst Shale Hatchling (Leech life, poison spit, and stoneskin), make sure you keep Stoneskin applied. Get her to start with Chirrup, you'll finish with full health. With a little luck, you'll finish off Stormlash as well, (KEEP stoneskin up, LOL). One leveling pet and a backup. I use Fluxfire Feline, but any pet good against aquatic should do.
Good luck and have fun.

I finally managed to beat her down. I used a rare Snake, rare Kun-Lai Runt and rare Imperial Eagle Chick. I promise you this set up really works, no need to farm the anubisath idol!

Comment by woofpuppy

2 level 25s are all that's needed plus a "leveling pet". Make sure Aki's dragon comes out first as it will kill itself and almost kill her second pet. Use Clockwork Gnome and Disgusting Oozling (Jade Oozlings works too) in that order. Take down her first 2 pets letting your 25s die and letting the pet you want to level finish off Whiskers.

Edit: All the songs are from Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver, of which is the battle music of Lance and/or Red. And why downrate? I was just trying to give you guys some good music, and you could've just picked a song yourself and it didn't have to be from this list.... :/

Comment by Auraia

When I originally did her during the chain, I had a terrible time. Today, after reading the new comments, it was much easier.

She will now always start with Chirrup (critter).

Against Chirrup, I used 25 rare Shore Crab (snap, healing wave, and shell shield). Casting shell shield at the beginning meant that Chirrup did zero damage to Shore Crab. I then Snapped him to death. It was a bit long and annoying, due to Chirrup's healing, but not too bad.

She will bring out Stormlash (dragonkin) next. I continued using Shore Crab until he was dead, which got Stormlash down ~1k health. I then brought out 25 rare Lil' Deathwing (shadowflame, call darkness, cataclysm). It really doesn't matter what you have Lil' Deathwing's 1st & 3rd abilities as - Call Darkness will hit Stormlash for 800+, which should down him depending on how well your Shore Crab did.

Finally, she brings out Whiskers (aquatic). Here, I stuck with Lil' Deathwing again just to whittle him down. I actually ended up killing him thanks to RNG of Cataclysm, but it is unwise to rely on that. My third pet was 25 rare Amber Moth (slicing wind, cocoon strike, and moth dust), which is a solid pet to use considering Whisker's awful dive ability (i.e. use cocoon strike to avoid it).

I hope this helps!

Comment by Sharessa

An Emperor Crab can solo all three of this tamer's pets. I have a P/P (Breed 4) level 25 rare that I regularly use for Aki. Set up the crab for Snap, Renewing Mists, and Shell Shield.

The trick is to make sure Renewing Mists and Shell Shield are always up. This can get tricky because of the duration of each spell is different so you can get in a pattern where you would have to cast both Renewing Mists and Shell Shield on the same turn. Just do the best you can - you might have to recast one a round early. Once you get Shell Shield up, Chirrup's attack will be fully blocked so you can let Renewing Mists fall off once you are fully healed. For the other two pets, Renewing Mists + Shell Shield should be enough to let the crab kill them - barring really bad RNG.

If you damage Chirrup before round 4, you can swap a leveling pet in during round 4 when Chirrup will cast Inspiring Song. If you do not damage Chirrup before round 4, it will cast Swarm again (a 3 round ability), so wait until after the last Swarm to swap in a leveling pet. No matter what the leveling pet will still be subject to one round of damage, so make sure it can take a hit.

Of course, to make things faster you can swap in a pet that does Flying damage to take out Whiskers faster. Something with Lift-Off or Cocoon Strike would be especially nice to avoid the damage from Dive (examples: Jade Owl, Imperial Eagle Chick, Garden Moth, etc).

Comment by 773453

Duoed somewhat easily with Magical Crawdad and Lil' Deathwing.

Crawdad uses Shell shield to neutralize Chirrup's swarm, and retaliates with Snap.

Keep shell shield up as much as you can while fighting Stormlash, using wish whenever it;s available. When the Crawdad gets too low, bring in Lil' Deathing and have him use Call Darkness for a whopping 800 HP of damage.

I was able to use Lil' Deathwing to defeat Whiskers, getting lucking and stunning him with Elementium Bolt and using Tail Sweep. Had a Moth in backup I didn't have to use, thankfully.
Your mileage may vary, but this was the better team I had for this fight.

Comment by TevishSzat

Basically assured kill with the following lineup

Clouded Hedgehog (325 Speed, must be faster than Stormlash)
Lil' Deathwing
Nether Ray Fry (Could be any l25 pet that is not itself an elemental and does not rely on undead attacks)

The Clouded Hedgehog is set to Bite, Survival, Counterstrike and is the leading pet. It uses Bite until Chirrup dies, which should be shortly after the first Swarm. Upon Stormlash switching in, the hedgehog leads with Survival, escaping what would otherwise be certain death to Call Lightning. Its next two turns are Counterstrike and Bite, which will generally take off half of Stormlash's hp

Lil' Deathwing (Tail Sweep/Call Darkness/Elementium Bolt) comes out next and virtually always finishes Stormlash with Call Darkness, bringing Aki to her last pet, Whiskers. Whiskers always uses Dive first, so Elementium Bolt is triggered against it. After that, Tail Sweep until Lil' Deathwing is KO'd.

Your third pet only needs to handle around half of Whiskers' HP, sometimes less if you got lucky and Whiskers missed an attack or two. I use a Nether Ray Fry with Slicing Wind to make it go fast, but really this could be anything that's not trying to do ineffective undead damage or is suffering critical damage from being an elemental.

Comment by 1122791

Flayer Youngling destroys Chirrup in a singe Ravage. However, he may get heavy initial damage against Stormlash because of the double damage buff left over from the critter.

An unexpected champion against Stormlash is Terrible Turnip. Call lightning does not hurt an elemental. Use Sons of the Root, to be safely submerged for three rounds while Stormlash gets wasted by all the extra mechanical damage from its own Call Lightning. Weakening Blow does extra damage against dragonkin, and Leech Seed will heal you and actually kill off Stormlash.

I put in my level 17 Jade Owl, which is great against aquatic pets, in to level against Whiskers. Jade Owl got him over halfway down before I switched my hardly damaged Flayer Youngling back in to finish.

Comment by Sorshana

Chirrup - I used a lvl 25 rare Adder (Bite-Hiss-Burrow) but any maxed rare in the snake family with 292 speed or higher will likely work. Hiss then Burrow then Bite. He'll heal after the first bite so bite him again. Provided your Burrow didn't miss, he should be finished on the second bite.

Stormlash - Continued with Adder. Stormlash will use Call Lightning first, every time. Used Hiss then Bite. He hit me with Tail Sweep and the Adder was down. Brought in lvl 25 rare Twilight Spider (Strike-Brittle Webbing-Leech Life). Brittle Webbing then Leech Life then Strike, and Stormlash was done.

Whiskers - He uses Dive right away so if you don't have 500+ HP, expect whichever pet is active to die. Spider had less than 300 HP remaining so the first hit killed him. Last was lvl 25 rare Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling with 414 speed. (Peck-Slicing Wind-Lift Off) Lift Off the Peck for 2 rounds. Whiskers is down.

Whiskers was the one I had trouble with in the 2 attempts before I followed the system above. His dive skill hits like a truck, between 500 and 800 HP, and he has that dreaded Survival skill, which he pulls out below 200 HP or so (unconfirmed btw, just a guess).

Good luck everyone!

Comment by Randomname2

Lumpy is awesome vs the dragonkin. Rock barrage ftw. Or any multi strike ability with an elemental (which will ignore the extra mech damage).

Comment by cmacord

I opened with a baby that I was leveling, then brought in my Anub Idol. I had my top moth as my third, but the Idol killed all 3 of Aki's pets w/o much trouble.

Comment by babycute

you can use ( Anubisath Idol ) to solo akis whole team , just keep ( Stoneskin ) up and you will take no damage from the 1st pet and that means no 100% extra dmg debuff, no extra lighting dmg .

crush`+ Stoneskin + Deflection = dead aki the chosen

oh btw , atm , the dragon pet from Aki is bugged , it will do 50% extra dmg when you bring it below 25% hp .

Comment by Decabah

What I found works best for me:

Anubisath Idol (1,1,2) and Wild Crimson Hatchling (1,1,1). The Idol soloed Chirrup, Stormlash and half of Whiskers, with the Hatchling finishing him off. I had the Pandaren Monk as a back up for Stormlash but he wasn't needed. With this comp, a carry pet may be possible. I'll test that tomorrow.

Comment by snapd

I just beat her twice in a row (once for quest, then for first daily) pretty convincingly, so i wanted to post here for those who (like me) have not yet had the AQ game changer drop.

I ran Lil' XT (Thrash, Heartbroken, Tantrum)
Lil KT (Howling Blast, Siphon Life, Frost Nova)
Chrominius (Bite, Howl, Surge of Power)- he is my 'ace in the sleeve' with his Howl+Surge 1 shot ability.

Turns out, i won with XT and KT.

I opened with XT Heartbroken and Tantrum. Chirrup ran at me a few times and healed up a bit, but with that plus a Thrash i was able to down him and get a hit in on Stormlash.

KT makes his appearance, Siphon and then Nova+Howling Blast while Stormlash whales away.
(In retrospect, I might switch another mechanical for KT in next time)

This took him down pretty quickly, and then Whiskers came out on half health. I knew then i wouldn't even need Chromy, and kept stalling with Siphons until Nova and Howling Blast came off cooldown to finish him properly.

One of the easier Panda tamers, IMO.

When you receive the gold from Aki in the mail, he says "I heard whispers of your assent..." - should be "ascent". Just sayin'... :)

Comment by Azuraa

I had an extremely easy time of this fight, and was able to 2 pet Aki multiple times using a rare Spiny Terrapin & Clockwork Gnome.

1. Chirrup was up first, so I used my Spiny Terrapin's Bite & Headbutt and healed on CD, and was still standing with half health after Chirrup was down.

2. Stormlash was next, I did as much damage to him as I could with my Spiny Terrapin before he died, and then summoned Clockwork Gnome.
Stormlash had already cast Call Lightning meaning that we were currently in a Lightning Storm. I used this to my advantage and cast Build Turret followed by Repair.
By the time my Clockwork Gnome had repaired, Stormlash had already taken substantial damage from my Build Turret due to the 25% extra mechanical damage it had dealt during the Lightning Storm. I then only had to use Metal Fist and he was down.

3. And finally when Whiskers came out we were still in a Lightning Storm, so I refreshed my Build Turret when needed, and watched his health disappear while also using Metal Fist.

It's definitely not the only strategy out there, but it helped me make easy work of Aki. So I hope it helps someone else too.

Comment by cephadex

For her, what worked for me was:

1. Rare Scorpid (beast) against her Chirrup (critter) - easily finished him off using rampage and then triple snap. After my scorpid kills her Chirrup, he still has about half health left. I then switch him out for Pandaren Earth Spirit.

2. Pandaren Earth Spirit against her Stormlash (dragonkin). She uses Stormlash to change the weather to lightning storm, but elementals like the pandaren earth spirit ignore all weather effects. If you cause significant damage to Stormlash, she tends to swap him out, so I like to use mudslide using pandaren earth spirit, which makes it impossible for her to swap.

3. Clockwork gnome (mechanical) against her Whiskers (aquatic), just because mechanicals come back to life for another go after dying - you could probably use a different mechnical here, but here is what I do with him: whenever possible I use build turret. After Whiskers has hit my mechanical, I use his repair, which takes two rounds to work. After that, keep alternating between build turret and metal fist, continuing when the mechanical comes back to life after dying. If in the worst case scenario, your mechanical dies a second time, you can bring the scorpid back in, who still has half health, and by then Whiskers should be at very low health anyway.

Good luck!

Comment by Zarasz

I used Corefire Imp and Stitched pup and a low level pet that I leveled. It received 5k EP!

Comment by CWR03

I used Feral Vermling with Poison Lash (reapplied as needed) and Dreadful Breath. Stormlash and Whiskers both died without ever getting cycled in before my vermling died.

Comment by dlbert2000

Anub Idol solos the first 2 pets so incredibly easy (and depending on RNG, can solo all 3)

Crush, Sandstorm, Deflection
Open the fight with your powerlvl pet, cast anything, then swap to Anubisath
Sandstorm makes you take 0 damage from Chirrup
Once Chirrup dies, make sure to use Deflection as soon as Stormlash comes out to block Call Lightning
Sandstorm to clear Lightning storm
Spam Crush until Stormlash is dead (Crush does bonus dmg vs dragonkin)
When Whiskers comes out he'll dive his first turn so save Sandstorm
Just use Sandstorm on CD, which does bonus dmg vs aquatic, use Deflection whenever he dives, and spam Crush

Comment by PassionPlayer

Hi everybody,

i made it with the following pets (in given order):

Malayan Quillrat pup (blue, lvl 25) - Poison Fang, Counterstrike, Powerball
Onyxian Whelpling (blue, lvl 25) - Tail Sweep, Healing Flame, Lift-Off (was pretty close tbh)
Sandy Petrel (blue, lvl 24) - Thrash, Adrenaline Rush, Lift-Off

Pet 1: I started with Powerball until it was me to start the attack and did a lot of Poison Fang and a little bit of Counterstrike.
Pet 2: Started with Healing Flame 'cause Stormlash has a powerful 1st strike. Then a lot of Tail Sweep and finally one Lift-Off
Pet 3: Lift-Off first, then any combination of Thrash and Rush. Anytime its possible do Lift-Off

Hope it helps someone.

Comment by Phoneutria

Against her I always use Flayer Youngling, it must have 325 speed though.
Skill setup is is Blitz / Deflection / Rampage
And two pets I level up.

1. Chirrup, critter
Obviously i use Rampage against it. Swarm don't do much against humanoids.
Usually three scenarios happen -
a) It will die after 3rd Rampage, this is not the best but not worst. Not a big problem but you have Shattered Defense for two rounds.
b) This is most common and best. After 3rd Rampage Chirrup has like 100hp left, on next round it will heal but because it's team heal it won't restore much health but depending on health usually only two-hit Blitz will finish Chirrup off.
c) So after Rampage and Blitz Chirrup is still up, this is the worst case because after team healing big heal will follow and the again Swarm, in this case depending what are my other pets I replay.

2. Stormlash, dragonkin
Just use Deflection aginst Call Lightning otherwise Stormlash will one hit with Shattered Defense debuff up.
Lightning Storm now will work against him especially if Three-hit Blitz occurs.
Often I can kill Stormlash with my Freddy Krueger, sorry Flayer Youngling.
But Tail Sweep with Roar up and Lightning Storm just hit too much so even more often my Flayer Youngling is then dead but Stormlash should be below 30% anyway.

3. Whiskers, aquatic
If Flayer Youngling is up Deflect his Dive.
In very rare scenario I got him down that Whiskers used Survive.

After 5.4, she noticed that the corrupted land is bad to stand on, so she took her 3 pets and her umbrella (Those things are far more important than her people's cause and the getting into Azeroth's politics, right ?) and went to Mistfall Village.

Anubisath Idol can practically solo this entire team with some RNG. Useful for big XP for lowbie pets :)

Comment by watermen

For those interested in knowing how to 2-pet this fight:

I used Anubisath, Moth and my leveling pet.

Anubisath can solo Chirrup and Stormlash. After both of them are down, Anubisath's HP is probably about 50%. Let Anubisath take 2 hit from Whisker, then switch to your leveling pet. Let your leveling pet hit 1 round and switch back to Anubisath or a moth.

Anubisath or any flying pet can finish Whisker off. Using a flying pet will be much easier.

Comment by Thepsia

This is the strategy I use, usually get all of her pets down with just the one pet.

Anubisath Idol - Crush, Stoneskin and Deflection

She always sends Chirrup out first, so use Stoneskin and just Crush it until it's dead. Stoneskin makes it so you take zero damage during the encounter, so before your last blow, re-apply a full Stoneskin.

For Stormlash, instantly use Deflection to avoid the Call Lightning which is always the first attack and it will be dead withing three Crushes.

And finally for Whiskers, keep Stoneskin up to keep the only damage from Surge to a minimum and use Deflection to avoid Dive. After the Dive happens and misses, switch to your leveling pet and either back to Anubisath Idol or a suitable flying pet to finish the job.

Comment by Untamable

I was really scared of Aki and even thought of leveling Anubisath Idol for the sole purpose of defeating her but I managed to this with the following team (all rare 25)
vs Chirrup - Clouded Hedgehog, spiked armor first round, powerball second round, then just destroy with bite
vs Stormlash - Clouded Hedgehog should still have enough hp to eat Stormslash's first ability and deal some damage to him, when Hedgehog is dead switch to
Eternal Strider and keep using Water Jet to melt Stormlash down (use healing wave if needed)
When Stormlash dies Eternal Strider is still alive and should use Healing Wave in first round because Whiskers always starts with dive - you can't use any damaging ability. Deal some damage to whiskers with water jet and die. Switch to
Effervescent Glowfly - use Cocoon strike if Whiskers uses dive again. Otherwise just use Slicing Winds to melt him down.

Edit : That feeling when you are powerleveling lvl 18 Anubisath Idol on Aki and it does the most job.

Comment by Synchrone

You can solo him with Magical Crawdad using Snap, Shell Shield and Wish.
Give the kill for the xp to one other pet ^^

Comment by 902276

You can duo this battle. Forest spider ( or any spider) with Poison Spit, Brittle Webbing, and Spiderling Swarm. Clockwork Gnome (or any mech) with Metal Fist (or any strong single target that's not weak to Dragon or Aquatic), Repair, and Build Turret.

Order:

Brittle Webbing
Spiderling Swarm
Poison Spit
Finish off critter

Poison Spit (Note: spider must be >300 speed to go first or it becomes an RNG win or lose)
spider dies

Build Turret
Metal Fist
dragon dies

Repair
Build Turret
Metal Fist spam & use Build Turret on CD

Aqua pet should die before he kills your mech, but if it doesn't you bring out your third pet and the turrets will finish him off before you can attack.

Enjoy.

Comment by Uilde

This is a way to 2-pet her with reasonably common pets. It took me a few tries to perfect, and a couple of misses in the wrong place will hurt. However, just try again, and it will work! The first time I did this, my Anubisath Idol leveled from 3-11. All your pets, obviously, need to be Rare 25s.

You will need :

Flayer Youngling: Mine was S/S-all you really need is a breed that is faster than Stormlash. Take:

Blitz
Deflection
Rampage

Amber Moth: Mine was H/S, but any moth or flying with the right abilities will do, and the breed doesn't really matter- this pet is only for really for Whiskers. However, it must be faster than him with the Flying Racial. Take:

Alpha Strike
Cocoon Strike
Moth Dust

Level pet: Put it into slot 1. This must be able to take ~120 Critter damage to survive the fight.

Now for the fight:

Chirrup will be first. He will use:

1. Swarm
2. Swarm
3. Swarm
4. Inspiring Song
5. Nature's Touch

Soak the first swarm with the level pet, then switch in the Flayer Youngling. Use Rampage. Chirrup will have restored ~ 700 health by round 5. At this point the sequence starts again. Use Blitz until the pet dies - you will be doing comparatively little damage. This is where the first bit of RNG comes in. If one of your Rampages missed, then you will effectively have to restart, since you will not be able to DPS him down before he heals again. You must NOT use Rampage or Deflection at all in this second rotation, or the second pet will nuke you.

When Chirrup dies, Stormlash will enter. He will use:

1. Call Lightning
2. Roar
3. Tail Sweep
4. Tail Sweep

Use Deflection on the first turn. You will mitigate the ~ 1000 damage that Call Lightning deals. After this, use Blitz three times. With the odd crit, and a bit of luck, Stormlash will be killed by Blitz. However, normally Stormlash is left with about 200hp when the Flayer dies.

Art this point, swap in the Flying. DO NOT PANIC- although his attacks are weak against Stormlash, use Alpha Strike. You will get ~ 100 extra damage from the Lightning Storm, and Stormlash will not hit you.

Whiskers will come out. He will use:

1. Dive
2. Dive
3. Surge
4. Surge

Hit him with Alpha Strike on the first turn - this will deal 550 damage. He will then Dive, and on the second round, use Deflection. This will save you 900 damage from the Dive. Then use Alpha Strike twice - it will only hit for ~ 330. At this point, you must use Moth Dust. He will be on ~600 HP, and if he gets any lower he will use Survive, and you will be killed. Moth Dust ought to hit for ~ 650, and kill him, bypassing the Survive.

Congratulations! You have 2-petted Aki the Chosen - check here for more guides (not by me, but this one IS my own).

Comment by Vladaki

Another 2-pet strategy, using:
a low-level pet (preferably above level 1)
an emperor crab (Breed 4) - snap, renewing mists, shell shield
a wildhammer gryphon hatchling (I use a Breed 4 - 7 and 10 might also work) - peck, adrenaline rush, lift-off

vs Chirrup:
Open with the low-level pet, any level 1 pet with reasonable health can take one round of swarm without dying, but you can go with a level 2 to be safe. Do one move and swap to the emperor crab.
1 - Shell shield
2 - Renewing mists
3 - Claw until dead. In case you miss, reapply shell shield and keep clawing.

vs Stormlash
If you didn't miss against Chirrup, you should have one round of shell shield still up.
1 - Renewing mists, he will do lightning storm
2 - Shell shield, he will do roar
3 - Claw until dead. You will be able to use the bonus damage from lightning storm against him, but your shield will negate his. He should go down by the final round of lightning storm.

vs Whiskers
Swap in the gryphon hatchling.
1 - He will dive, use lift-off.
2 - His surge will miss by default, since you're still in the air. Hopefully you hit him on the way down!
3a - You hit! He will now be so low that two pecks will kill him. You will still have the flying pet speed bonus so when he decides to use survival you will attack first. If you miss, adrenaline rush and keep pecking.
3b - You missed! Peck him once, use adrenaline rush and continue pecking.

Notes:
A breed 4 (P/P) emperor crab is the strongest defensive crab you can get, making it a great addition to your collection. They can easily be farmed in the Briny Muck (Dread Wastes) as secondaries. Wildhammer gryphon hatchlings have like 10 different breeds. I suggest you find a breed 4 (P/P) and use an upgrade stone on it. It is the only pet outside the pet store to have both peck and lift-off. Another nice alternative would be to upgrade a breed 4 yellow moth (sold in Exodar) and use cocoon strike in lift-off's place, then alpha strikes/moth balls. Both gryphon and moth 4s have 341 power.

Comment by Guanyin

Using a fox for dazzling dance and howl and a clockwork gnome for the turret this fight is beatable with 2 pets, leaving room for a third pet you want to level up. The fox can easily solo the first pet, make sure to use dazzling dance before the dragon's up. Save howl for the dragon. As soon as your howl is on the dragon, the fox dies because of lightning storm. Take out your clockwork gnome and put down a turret. Because the clockwork gnome is faster now from the speed buff, it can benefit from the howl buff twice. Blitz usually finishes off the dragon, if it doesn't, the turret will. The aquatic is no problem now because your clockwork gnome's still at relatively high health. Build another turret and if the aquatic is at low health, swap to your low level pet to make sure it gets the xp.

Comment by smetia

If you got lucky you solo it with Anubisath Idol.Guarantee to kill Aki locust and dragon.

First idol you put sand storm then spam Crush. The thing is to have sandstorm to change her lightning weather when dragon comes and deflection to block when he cast it after that is all spam Crush after that you will get an sandstrom on last pe and demolish .Bring the leveling pet hit once get the other pet and you are home.

Comment by genasi

Aki is probably the single best way for a huge chunk of daily pet-xp if you have the pets for one of the many duo (or solo) tactics mentioned in the comments here. Chirrups swarm does so little damage on the first round of combat that you can send in even lvl1 pets to level. My 150 hp Sunreaver Micro-Sentry survived with a bit of health left, so it might get a bit dicy if you have something below 150. Then again you could just go and kill two rats for a quick level-up in your hometown.

Also, if you can sport a lvl25 Anubisath Idol you can swap in anything after he casts his sandstorm ability because it basically blocks swarm entirely.

I didn't have such high-powered pets when I got to Aki, but was able to beat her pets with the following combination of level 25 rares:

Flayer Youngling vs the Critter.
Jade Oozling vs the Dragonkin.
Spawn of Onyxia vs the Dragonkin and the Aquatic.

Comment by denzildk

im just testing something out here

So i do the daily every day to get stones and level pet's, i do this with 2 pet's that can defete her completly and then ofc. my low level pet.
the team i use is Corefire imp (2,1,1), and Pandaren Monk (1,1,1) and then my carry pet.
Tactic:
get immo aura going and then just rush down Chirrup until it get's low, make sure it just used it's two heals and this will line up perfectly, and then use Cauterize, refresh immo aura and then the turn Chirrup starts healing, with the small heal, use rush and you'll finish it off, then imidiatly switch to you'r monk, use focus chi, and then Fury of 1,000 Fists and Stormlash should be dead, maby immo aura kills it. then Whiskers comes out and dives as the first thing, there i just use focus chi again in case dive misses, if it does i jab and pass until my monk is dead, if dive hits, i just change to my low level pet there.
use a random 1 turn attack with the low level pet and then change to the imp again, keep immo aura up and heal on cd, then just rush and you should get the kill.

lvl 25 rattlesnake

lvl 25 forest moth

all rare. no problems at all, did it with the first two pets the second time.

Comment by Rosalynann

I used Grove Viper, RoboChick, and Ashwing moth; after attempting to do it six other ways, I beat it the first time I used this combo and just barely eeked by. I wouldn't recommend using anything other than a humanoid or (maybe) a mechanical as your second pet.

Comment by 1243381

As of 5.4.7, this battle, against three so called 'legendaries', represents a great opportunity to power level two low level pets (or possibly one if you're feeling conservative). The key to this strategy is the Anubisath Idol.

Chirrup usually goes first, and the trick is to counter his Swarm attack with Sandstorm. The damage mitigation effect completely blocks it. Seeing as this is his only attack, the fight becomes very easy. You can sub in two low level pets while he's busy uselessly swarming and sub them back out on time to cast Sandstorm again. Once that's done, simply burn him down bit by bit with Crush. He'll heal sometimes and finishing him off can take awhile, but you will eventually win the fight at full health or very close. Try to make sure that your Sandstorm is off of cool down or at most one turn away when Chirrup goes down.

Next up is Stormlash. He'll start out with his weather attack: Call Lightning. Counter immediately with Sandstorm and you'll have the weather advantage. He'll then either use Tail Sweep or he'll try to buff with Roar. His attacks sting a bit, but there's no really big nuke to worry about. Since he's faster than Anubisath Idol, Tail Sweep doesn't do as much damage. When he buffs with Roar, use Deflection to mitigate one of the attacks. As always, Crush will miss sometimes, but given the type advantage, when it hits, it will hit hard and Stormlash won't last very long. You should try to finish the fight with 1000+ health and deflection either off cool down or one turn away.

Whiskers is the most problematic, since there's no type advantage at play, but as long as you don't mess up and have a reasonable health pool left, you can eat his Surge attack, which he will spam. Keep Sandstorm up to mitigate some of it, and Anubisath Idol's racial healing passive will also help keep you up. Then, it's simply a matter of using Deflection every time that Whiskers uses Dive, which is no problem, since Dive is on a four round cool down, and Deflection is on three. Unless you have a string of bad misses, your Anubisath Idol should finish the fight with between three and six hundred health remaining.

Comment by Magekin

It took me 6 tries to down Aki, and I used a variety of pets trying: alpine foxling, baby blizzard bear, gilnean raven, chrominius, mechanical pandaren dragonling etc. I can verify that: 6 times he usually led with the cricket, then the dragonkin and finished with the aquatic. Note chirrup the cricket has strong attacks vs. undead and weak vs. humanoid; stormlash is weak attacking undead, elementals and fliers and strong against beasts critters and magicals. Whiskers the aquatic is strong vs. elementals and weak versus magicals, but I had none strong against aquatics.

What won was: chrominius first, against chirrup; alpine foxling second, vs. stormlash and a simple amber moth vs. whiskers (all rare quality level 25 of course). Cocoon is very helpful to cast as soon as whiskers dives (or anything else that will block the damage when it emerges).

Comment by urza311

Here's my strategy that not only usually works every time, but often gets me 2 level-ups on my third pet.

Chirrup plays out the same way every time against my Chrominius (H/H): first Bite, then Howl, then Surge of Power. This has two benefits. First, Chirrup always dies. Second, your Chrominius will have Shattered Defenses on it because of Chirrup's Swarm attack, so when Stormlash comes into play and finishes Chrominius off, that debuff will be effectively cleared. Once in a blue moon, Stormlash one-shots Chrominius instead of two-shotting it, but usually Chrominius takes two hits to die.

So next on the roster is Stormlash. Best option I have for him is my rare Scourged Whelpling (H/H). Open with Call Darkness to clear out Call Lightning, then use Plagued Blood to setup for some healing during the fight. Now just spam Tail Sweep until Stormlash is dead. He's slower than your Scourged Whelpling, so Tail Sweep will hit for extra damage if it connects. Call Darkness can cause some misses, so the play-by-play on this battle is not certain. Very rarely, the Scourged Whelpling dies first but most often he gets as many as 3 attacks against Whiskers before dying.

So Whiskers is all that's left. If you're lucky, the Scourged Whelpling is still alive. If so, be sure to Tail Sweep on the first round because Whiskers will Dive, so your first attack always misses. For the second attack, you should be able to Call Darkness, which will do a fair amount of damage. Assuming you make it to the third round, use Plagued Blood again, which not only effectively heals your Scourged Whelpling but will also carry over to benefit your third pet!

Fairly often, by the time your Scourged Whelpling dies, Whiskers will be half-dead. I usually have a level 22-24 creature in my third slot to finish him off, and since my first two pets are now dead, the third one gets all the experience for the fight. This almost always gets me 2 levels on the final pet. Once in a while, Whiskers does eke out a win, but if so there's a stable master nearby you can use to heal up and start over.

Hope this strategy works out for you as well as it has for me!

Comment by Thedroogs

I used:

1. Rare level 25 H/H Magical Crawdad: Snap, Shell Shield, Wish.
2. Rare level 25 H/H Anubisath Idol: Crush, Sandstorm, Deflection.

Magical Crawdad easily killed the first pet, but got absolutely wrecked by the second pet, with Wish on cooldown. Anubisath Idol finished off the second pet, killed the third pet, but almost died at the end.

*Edit: Tried again the next day, same set-up. Magical Crawdad soloed all three pets, with 1238 health left at the end. Made better use of "Wish" this time.

Comment by Thedroogs

I used:

1. Rare level 25 H/H Anubisath Idol: Crush, Sandstorm, Deflection.
2. Rare level 25 P/P Kun-Lai Runt: Takedown, Frost Shock, Deep Freeze.
3. Rare level 25 P/P Yellow Moth: Slicing Wind, Cocoon Strike, Moth Dust.

Anubisath Idol easily killed the first pet ("Chirrup" the critter).

I let Anubisath Idol stay in to fight the second pet ("Stormlash" the dragonkin) just long enough to change the "Call Lightning" weather cast by Stormlash. Then I swapped in Kun-Lai Runt, who killed Stormlash.

Yellow Moth killed the third pet ("Whiskers" the Aquatic).

*Update: Rare level 25 S/S Peddlefeet is stronger against Stormlash than Kun-Lai Runt.

Comment by Jeremybell

I was quite scared for this trainer, but found an amazing pet for this fight (was able to solo the first 2 pets with it): Clouded Hedgehog

His Spiked Skin was able to soak all the hits of Swarm of Chirrup. Use Poison Fang once and after that use Powerball to build up speed. This speed you can use as advantage against Stormlash to at least poison him and maybe hit him twice. Stormlash should be at 50% now. I then chose my Gilded Moth who could easily get him down.

Have fun!

Comment by KisoMinamoto

1: Carry pet
2: Anubisath Idol (1,1,1)
3: Emerald Proto-Whelp (2,1,1)

vs Chirrup
- Attack with your Carry pet > switch to Anubisath Idol
- Sandstorm > Crush until Chirrup dies

vs Stormlash
- Sandstorm > Crush until Stormlash dies
- If Stormlash cast Thunderstorm again, then immediately recast Sandstorm

vs Whiskers
- From here on, cast Deflection when Whiskers has dived, Sandstorm when off cooldown, Crush as a filler
- Switch to Emerald Proto-Whelp when your Anubisath Idol dies
- Chain cast Emerald Bite, unless Whiskers has Dive off cooldown (then cast Proto-Strike)

Comment by Arfor

People like to make things hard dont they?

I like me you dont have an Anubisath Idol yet but enjoy playing pet battles, a Lava Crab can solo this entire team, run Burn, Shell Shield and Magma Wave, on the cricket just turn your shield on and spam Magma Wave, the other two pets will eventually die and you can just kill the cricket with Burn, it might not be as fast as using an Anubis or other pets, but its much easier to do, no trick, no start, just cheese it, this makes the fight a great way to level up pets.

Comment by Shin2001

So I was afraid to do this battle. I thought it was going to be hard. I think it was probably one of the easiest.

My team: Moonshell Crab
Thundertail Flapper
Emerald Proto-Whelp

1) Chirrup- use Moonshell Crab- keep Shield Shell up and use Arcane Slash over and over. Can use a quick renewing mist if need be.

2) Stormlash- use Thudertail Flapper- Thunderbolt(team damage) and use JOLT over and over. Buried Treasure can be used when you need a heal.

3) Whiskers- use Emerald Proto-Whelp- Proto-Strike, Breath, heal with Ancient Blessing when needed.

Both my Thundertail Flapper and Emerald Proto-Whelp basically had full health when I was done.

Comment by Plategoron

I've found out a well working 2-pet-combo of Ironclaw Scuttler and Silky Moth, though you can replace them by almost any crab and moth.

Ironclaw Scuttler with Rip, Shell Shield & Blood in the Water
Silky Moth with Slicing Wind, Cocoon Strike & Moth Dust

In the first place, you can put your levelpet, which must be able to take one 144-swarm-attack. Luckily, even most level-1-pets have this much HP.
Let it attack once, then swap in your Ironclaw Scuttler.
Use Shell Shield, so that the first critter can't damage you anymore.
You can now kill it slowly with Rip, but make sure to refresh your shield shortly before the critter dies.

Against the dragon, use Rip first.
The dragon will call the storm, which's wheather effect won't damage your crab because of the shield. The dragon however will take additional damage every time the bleeding ticks.
Now use Blood in the Water for tons of damage and keep on attacking with Rip until your crab dies.

By now, the dragon should be almost dead.
Switch in your Silky Moth and finish it off, preferably without taking any damage yourself.
Your healthy moth shouldn't have any problems, killing the aquatic pet as well. Everytime it dives, block with Cocoon Strike and you should only take little damage from its other abilities.

Comment by BigRed

Due to Sandstorm being broken atm, I had to figure out something else for Aki. Here's what I did:

Bonkers with Jab, Dodge, Tornado Punch
Harpy Youngling with Slicing Wind, Counterstrike, Lift-Off

Start with Bonkers.

For Chirrup: Tornado Punch, Jab until it is dead.

For Stormlash:
1) Dodge - won't protect from Lightning Storm but blocks the dragon racial and gives an opportunity for one Tornado Punch
2) Tornado Punch - didn't crit nor stun in my case so Bonkers died.

Brought in Harpy:
1) Counterstrike
2) Slicing Winds - with the lightning storm, this finished it

For Whiskers:
1) Lift-off - dodges dive
2+) Slicing winds until Dive had only two turns remaing
3) Brought in mechanical carry lvl 1 - died and resurrected
4) Brought in Harpy
5) Lift-off - dodges dive

Whiskers casts Survival once he drops low, so this might have been a better time to swap in the carry.

Use the Rampage attack for Kun-Lai against Chirrip. He should be dead on the 3rd round.

When Stormlash swaps in, swap in your Plushie. Let him take the brunt of the 1st attack by Stormlash. Then, use the hug ability to swap your Kun-Lai Runt back in. Use the Takedown attack of Kun-Lai until you are killed.

When your moth comes into play, hit Stormlash with Adrenaline Rush, then Alpha Strikes for next 2 rounds. If Stormlash still isn't dead, use Adrenaline Rush on the 3rd round to maintain quicker speed. Hopefully he dies this round, or you probably will. Don't worry if you end this fight with low health, you may not take any more damage.

Once Stormlash is dead, you should still have speed. Throw Moth Dust, and hopefully put Whiskers to sleep. If you're on your last round of speed, you need to renew Adrenaline Rush. Otherwise, keep hitting him with Alpha Strike until dead.

Aki the Chosen is a great Pet Trainer to Power Level pets against. I have a video that shows 2 teams that can power level a pet from level 1 to level 14 in a single battle. Both of these teams not only can power level a pet but are also good to help you get you An Awfully Big Adventure achievement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Blw9MwC6zk

First Team
S/S or P/S Zandalari Kneebiter and a Clockwork Gnome

Second Team
Anubisath Idol and a Crow

There are a few other teams that work but these are my 2 favorite. If you use the Pet Treat and Lesser Pet Treat you can save yourself a lot of time power leveling pets. I also have other great ways to power level pets in these 2 videos. They are easy and quick ways to power level pets in Pandaria. Thank you for reading and watching. I hope these videos help.

Found a great 2-pet carry combo post-Pandaria. Perfect for the Elekk plushy carry.

The two pets are:

1) Ore Eater (2,1,1)
2) Amber moth (2,1,2)

Start with the Ore Eater. All of the cricket's attacks are weak against him as he's humanoid, and the shield will negate the swarm attack damage. By the time he dies you should be almost at full health.

Use his great combo for the ore eater:
1) shield up
2) Attack with headbutt
3) attack with punch
4) attack with headbutt

The shield negates a LOT of damage, including the self-inflicted damage from the headbutt. There will be a 2 or so round cooldown for the shield when it goes down - so survive best you can!

For the dragon, continue to do the shield/headbutt combo when you can. Both punch and headbut are strong against dragonkin, so you will be ripping through him fast. There IS a chance you can die before the dragon is dead - but not to worry as your Amber Moth (despite having weak-against-dragon attacks) will finish him off easily.

For the otter, just use your moth dust and alpha strikes when you can, but save the cocoon for when he dives. You should finish him off no problem

Hope this helps! ^_^

Comment by reitage

For those of us without the best pets in the game, I used:

Ironclaw Scuttler
Anubisath Idol
Axebeak Hatchling

Good luck!

Comment by schnizol

My Elekk carry team was:

Zomstrok (infected claw, shell shield, carpnado)
Anubisath Idol (crush, sandstorm, deflection)
Elekk Plushie

Zomstrok can solo two first pets - shell shield will block the swarm from Chirrpie - use carpnado on cooldown. Then you can soak lightning storm with elekk plushie and use Zomstrok again - shell shield will block lightning damage, and undead pet damage reduction will reduce damage. Anubisath idol wil easily finish last pet or 2nd pet too if Zomstrok dies too early (use deflection to deflect Dive).

Comment by Bomuld

For those doing An Awfully Big Adventure

Pets:
Kun Lai Runt (1,1,1)
Scourged Whelpling (2,1,2)
and then of course the Elekk Plushie

Chirrup:

Rampage...
... more rampage...
... last rampage, Chirrup dies

Stormlash:

Bring the Elekk in to take Stormlash's big hitter (his first move)
Switch to Scourged Whelpling
Call Darkness
Dreadful Breath
Tail Sweep until Stormlash dies

Whiskers

Tailsweep until Call Darkness is available
Call Darkness (Scourged Whelpling may die first time around here)
Tail Sweep
Whiskers should be dead now, but if he's not, just finish him off with Kun Lai Runt

My problem was the huge hit from Stormlash, but the Elekk is a great punching bag and leaves the two other pets left with plenty of HP.

Enjoy!

Comment by thulsadoom

Crazy long Two-Pet battle with Elekk

Peddlefeet (Rapid Fire, Perfumed Arrow, Love Potion)
Death Adder Hatchling (Poison Fang, Puncture Wound, Burrow)
Elekk/Carry

Open with Peddlefeet. Spam Rapid Fire. Use Love Potion immediately following Inspiring Song. Do this until backline pets are dead. Swap to carry.
Swap to Death Adder Hatchling. Poison Fang, Puncture Wound, Poison Fang.

43 rounds.

Open with carry if not using the Elekk.

Comment by MotherOfDanbo

I didn't think this was an easy fight at all.

My winning couple were Ore Eater and Bonkers, in that order.

Good luck :)

My winning team were Ore Eater and Bonkers, in that order, with the onlooker Elekk Plushie.

Good luck :)

Comment by pat33

Simple 1 pet strat **********

Anubisath Idol Crsuh stoneskin deflection

Turn 1) any low level pet to lvl that can withstand stampede for 1 turn.
Swap Anubisath

1st enemi pet : keep stonekin on and spam crush
2nd enemi pet: deflection, stoneskin(if needed) then spam crush
3rd enemi pet: stoneskin first, and spam crush use deflection on dive

It's an awful mistake to choose sandstorm for this fight like explained in other strat.

If you need a backup pet : any moth with cocoon to shield against dive.

Comment by lunayoshi

When you beat her and complete Taming Azeroth, she'll send you a piece of mail with your 3k gold. In the letter, she says:

I thought there was no way you could beat me.

I heard whispers of your assent through the ranks of master tamers, but I never thought you would make it this far. You are truly a master now. Take this gift as a sign of respect from both me and all the tamers you have defeated along the way.

Congratulations!

Aki the Chosen

I thought it was sweet.

Comment by SolidSnack

I used a strategy similar to the one posted by the Pet Battles channel, except with a Kun-Lai Runt instead of a Zandalari Kneebiter.

I have a P/S Kun-Lai Runt. Rampage can get rid of Chirrup easily. Then it can survive the Call Lightning from Stormlash to apply Mangle (extra damage on hit). It'll die the next turn, but that's fine. Then switch the Clockwork Gnome in and do the same thing with the turrets and the healing. It worked fine, and you can catch the Kun-Lai Runt just in the next zone if you don't have one!

Bring idol back in if needed but usually not.

(UPDATED 11/2016 MUCH FASTER!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
1. I use Rematch so my pets are in order for that. Even though a Leveling Pet might go in first, always have pets in the order shown.
2. When I suggested using something on cooldown, or when it’s available, that means to use it when it only has 1 active round left. Don’t wait until it’s off to use it again.
3. Most level pets are brought in and out making no attacks unless stat

Comment by Nymss

If you're attempting to carry 2 pets* using Anubisath Idol (1,2,1) beware of Whiskers. If he uses Survival near death (Anubisath's HP will be low as well) he'll end up on 1 hp killing Anubisath as well. Be sure to have one of those carry pets able to survive a hit and finish him off.

*bring in carries after Chirrup's Swarm - he heals for 2 rounds before swarming again

Comment by zghuk

Chirrup (Critter) -> Kun-Lai Runt
Stormlash (Dragon) -> Unborn Val'kyr
Whiskers (Aquatic) -> Sharptalon Hatchling

Stormlash has Lightning Storm as Aura (mech attacks +25 % dmg, +35 dmg for mech attacks)

Comment by Blackless

Great strat! Soloed all pets with Idol (rd 1 had out the Plushie, so...) He was at the end of his life (Idol), but never had to bring out the drake.

Comment by SaltyGoldfish

No longer works after the Shadowlands pre-patch!

~~Very fast and absolutely reliable 2-pet strategy:~~

Sharptalon Hatchling (abilities: Falcosaur Swarm!---anything---Predatory Strike)
Fledgling Warden Owl (abilities: anything---Call Darkness---Nocturnal Strike)
Carry Pet level 11+ (it can take up to 637 (956) aquatic damage), safe for level 1 magic or mechanical pets

Round 01: Falcosaur Swarm!
Round 02: Falcosaur Swarm!
Round 03: Predatory Strike---------- Chirrup dies
Round 04: Falcosaur Swarm!--------- if Sharptalon Hatchling dies, choose Fledgling Warden Owl and continue from round 06
Round 05: Falcosaur Swarm!--------- Sharptalon Hatchling dies, choose Fledgling Warden Owl
Round 06: Call Darkness---------- Stormlash dies
Round 07: Nocturnal Strike
Round 08: switch Carry Pet
Round 09: switch Fledgling Warden Owl
Round 10: pass
Round 11: Nocturnal Strike end

If you don't mind a little risk, you can use any level 1 carry pet. In this case pass in round 08, switch carry pet in round 09 when Whiskers uses Survival, switch back Fledgling Warden Owl and finish with Nocturnal Strike. Unless you get high critical hit from Dive, it will work.

Comment by mightybruce

This is my first time sharing so bear with me.

I used:
Argi (Horn Gore, Gift of the Naaru, Headbutt)
Fozling (rock barrage, stoneskin, Quake)
Bloodgazer Hatchling (Savage Talon, Reckless Strike, Predatory Strike)

Fight 1 vs Chirrup - Horn Gore (do NOTuse Heatbutt or heal)

Fight 2 vs Stormlash - Headbutt (if you stun him he switches to Whiskers and you can easily take him out with Argi and Hatchling
Otherwise Argi gets one hit before dying and Fozling with Stoneskin takes most of the fight with him dying at the end HOWEVER Stromlash has nothing left and can easily be killed with any attack with Hatchling

Fight 3 vs Whiskers - easy straightforward fight

Comment by Bursi

With 8.3, she can be found at 84.0 28.75. Inside the room where the The Lorewalkers are located.

/way Vale of Eternal Blossoms 84.0 28.75 Aki

Comment by camshasgirl

Used:

Snowfeather Hatchling 1, 1, 1 (same as Sharptalon Hatchling)
Northern Hawk Owl 1, 1, 1 (same as Fledgling Owl)
Menagerie Custodian 1, 1, 1 (any level 11 or higher mechanical ought to be fine)

I followed the SaltyGoldfish strat toward the top of this page exactly and Chirrup did NOT die after Round 3, so there is definitely some RNG, at least at this point. He actually healed up, too, which sucked, after Round 5.

So I started out with Falcosaur Swarm (2 rounds,) then Predatory Strike. Used a Squawk. Then I just did Falcosaur Swarm again with my Snowfeather Hatching (2 rounds of course,) another Predatory Strike, then one more Falcosaur Swarm before Chirrup died.

Went to my Northern Hawk Owl, did Call Darkness and Savage Talon (saved my Nocturnal Strike, as the dragon only had 149 health left.) Swapped in level 11 Menagerie Custodian, swapped in owl again, Nocturnal Strike, Savage Talon, Call Darkness.

Whiskers was in cannot die mode, so he then killed the owl, but the Menagerie Custodian was able to finish him and his one hit point off with Zap after a mistake on my part where I used Shock and Awe, not thinking about the fact that the beaver would be underground at that point... But whatever, it all died.

Comment by einaschern

Guaranteed single pet kill!

Sunborne Valkyr 2-2 2
Any Pet
Any Pet

Get your tags in on the first two pets, then swap to the Sunborne.
The rotation is 1 1 1 3, repeating until around Round 25, where the background dragon dies.
Then the rotation is 1 1 1 3, repeating until the little otter dude dies.
After this, toss in 2 on cooldown, while healing as necessary.

Around round 80 the hopper guy Chirrup will be dead, you will have a full health Sunborne Valkyr, a victory, something to write on Wowhead about, and about 20 minutes of your life missing that you will never get back.

Comment by AzureoO

As of 8.3 the coords are still /way 31.25 74.10, HOWEVER you must 'go back to before the vale was corrupted' by talking to Zidormi at 80.48 31.95 first or you won't see her.

Comment by silver9mm

Beat this with Ash'ana (Moonfire, Rake, Pounce), Coldlight Surfrunner (Whirlpool, Inner Vision, Punch), and Draeni Microdefender (Reflective Shield, Metal Fist). DMD died but revived and made the final blow.

Comment by shamroq17

Used:
Fire-proof roach
Molten Corgi
Elekk plushie

Use apocalypse as the first spell. After you kill chirrup with the roach, swap out and kill stormlash with the corgi. Apocalypse should hit shortly after, killing whiskers instantly.

Comment by Cretchmen

I found all the top-voted strategies here to be out of date. I wound up beating Aki with Zandalari Anklerender, Anubisath Idol, and Emerald Proto Whelp, in that order.

Comment by Kanetsidohi

My team:

1. Nether Faerie Dragon Level 25 P/P Rare: Moonfire, Arcane Blast, Life Exchange
2. Spectral Spinner Level 25 S/P Rare: Consume, Blinding Poison, Leech Life
3. Mechanical Axebeak Level 25 P/P Rare: Lift-Off, Haywire, Alpha Strike

My dragon started the fight, and killed Chirrup but was killed by Stormlash, my spider killed the dragon but was killed by Whiskers, my axebeak finished the fight without trouble

It took me three attempts because Stormlash, and Whiskers did a lot of damage but my spider blinded the dragon, and got enough of her health back to weaken the dragon so the last pet could survive

Comment by Chanettkoldsoe

For my Elekk Plushie 2-pet team setup I used the following:

Anubisath Idol
Cenarion Hatchling
Elekk Plushie

1) Anubisath Idol vs. Chirrup (critter) (use Crush, Sandstorm, Deflection) - Start with sandstorm, then deflection whenever possible, strike with crush while in cooldown. Chirrup dies - slow and steady moves. Be careful not to use Sandstorm close to Chirrups end, as you'll need it against the dragonkin Stormslash!

2) Stormlash comes ind - most certainly use Lighting Storm to which you'll need your Sandstorm. Use deflection whenever possible and fill in with Crush! You may be lucky that Anubisath Idol finishes off the dragonkin, but if not, choose Cenarion Hatchling after Anubisath Idol dies.

3) Cenarion Hatchling - Use only Lift-off when avoiding a specific hard attack such as "Dive" from the critter Whiskers. Else just Peck away. Rush can be handy as it ALWAYS deals 210 damage and makes YOUR next move go FIRST!

Good hunting for An Awfully Big Adventure

Comment by sijaze

II have been leveling pets from level one with Aki the Chosen for ages, thought I would share my strategy. I apologize if someone else has posted this, I didn't scroll through very far to check. This used to be a bit more inconsistent when dive had a chance to miss, but now works like clockwork (pun intended) every time.

Pets needed:

Kun-Lai Runt x-x-1 (Mine is P/S but I don't think it matters)
Clockwork Gnome 1-x-1 (Even though blitz is strong against dragons, we will not be using it here, as the precise turns are what make it possible to level any pet from level 1)
Leveling pet: Any, can be level 1 as it will take no damage

Start with Kun-Lai Runt
Round 1: Rampage
Round 2: Rampage
Round 3: Rampage (Chirrup dies)
Round 4: pass (Kun-lai Runt dies)

Swap in Clockwork Gnome
Round 5: Build Turret
Round 6: Metal Fist
Round 7: Metal Fist (Stormlash dies)
Round 8: Build Turret
Round 9: Metal Fist
Round 10: Metal Fist (Whiskers casts Survival)
Round 11: Build Turret
Round 12: Pass (Clockwork Gnome dies, Whiskers dies)
Leveling pet will saunter in like it owns the place and collect all the xp

On a pet battle week with a pet treat and lesser pet treat active along with the safari hat, the pet should gain 19 levels.

Here are the TomTom coordinates for the Pandaria Master Tamers and Spirit Tamers.

Due to the 255 character macro limit, I've divided it into the first half and the second half. If you have TomTom you can make two macros and it will give you the waypoints (even when you are not in the particular zone):

First:
/way #379 64.8 93.6 Thundering Pandaren Spirit
/way #371 28.8 36.0 Whispering Pandaren Spirit
/way #371 48.0 54.0 Hyuna of the Shrines
/way #376 46.0 43.6 Farmer Nishi
/way #418 62.2 45.8 Mo'ruk
/way #422 61.2 87.6 Flowing Pandaren Spirit

Second:
/way #422 55.0 37.6 Wastewalker Shu
/way #390 31.2 74.2 Aki the Chosen
/way #379 35.8 73.6 Courageous Yon
/way #388 57.0 42.2 Burning Pandaren Spirit
/way #388 36.2 52.2 Seeker Zusshi

Comment by FeyGyrl

If you came here looking for Aki as well as battle strategy...
Here's the info on Aki's location post Shadowlands & Visions of N'Zoth...

Aki moved to the Mogu'shan Palace; look for Lorewalker Cho, if you're familiar with the Vale. They are all in the big library room above the dungeon entrance. Specifically, when you enter the room, Aki is to your right - head to 84.09, 28.79 inside the library room for Aki.

As for my strategy...I offer the caveat I did this once, so it has not gone through lots of play testing, but this just worked for me...

I used ZAndalari Anklerender against Chirrup - I used Black Claw, then Primal Cry & finally Hunting Party to finish off chirrup. I got one Black Claw in against Stormlash before he killed my anklerender with lightning storm. I brought in my Anubisath Idol and immediately cast Sandstorm to counter the lightning, then Deflection, then Crush to death. Whiskers came in and I used the same Deflection when he dove so it was in place when he came back up, then renewing Sandstorm took him out. I never had to use my Emerald Proto-whelp. I had put him in the third slot based on reading prior comments, as my failsafe since he can heal himself.
