Just got this achievement done over the weekend, I'll post my teams and will keep it simple... you guys are studs and can see what I was going for.

Aquatic (lost a lot)
Left Shark
Snarly
Crab p/p with blood in the water
(Goal is to duel with left shark and speed up team before he dies...)

Undead
Unborn valk
Fragment of anger
Graves
Easiest one by far. Just dot em up and win. Consume corpse with graves x2 is op

Critter
2 rabbits s/s breed
Zoom
Basically just duel with rabbits finish off with zoom if needed

Beast
Fox w/ S/s
Rose taipan
Xufu (ideal to use after you howl with fox for bit bites)

Mechanical (10-0 with this team)
Blingtron (Use the100% dmg debuff ability)
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling
Iron Starlette (bait dodges etc with Powerball)

Magic (most fun team imo)
Son of Demidos
Hyjal Wisp
Blood Boil

Elemental
Ragnaros
Broot
Pandaren Water Elemental
(Just kinda relied on rag to wear em down with stuns and wave etc... but if he got toasted early I either lost or had a long duel with broot)

Flying (10-1 here, strong team)
Ikky (for debut)
Gilnean Raven
Warden owl (basically 2 birds with darkness)

Humanoid (admittedly harder for me than most of the others)
Squirky (for debuff)
Kun-Lai Runt
Flayer Youngling (I may have used another, don't quite remember this was first one I went for and swapped a lot)

Dragon (about 55% win rate here, once I had a better strategy it helped... end games with chrom don't start lol)
Bronze whelping
Emerald Proto whelp or nexus whelping
Chrominius

This is a good achievement to work on when it is a Pet Battle Bonus Event week. This is why:


  • The achievement is account wide, so you can complete the quest The Very Best with any of your alts who are high enough to get that quest, rewarding you with Ultimate Battle-Training Stones on each toon you complete the quest on.


  • The ques / waiting times for battles tend to be shorter during the Pet Battle Bonus event, since many people are trying to complete that quest.


  • The people who are queing, in general, are not the same "hard-core pet battlers" (oxymoron?) guys who are queing when its not a pet battle event, so you are more likely to find people with teams you can actually beat.

I categorize this achievement as a "building a mountain a spoon-full of dirt at a time" kind of achievement, I completed it over a long period (several pet battle bonus event weeks), I found I got too frustrated with it if I did it for too long. Good luck!

-- Edit --

Sometime after making this post Blizzard nerfed the weekly quest so you can now only do it once per account (very frustrating because all other weekly quests are alt friendly, why not this one?, and because it has dramatically reduced the number of teams queuing. Please revert this change Blizzard!)

Also... once you have completed this achievement, have some sympathy for those still doing it. When I am queuing for pet battles and I keep getting matched with some guy trying to get his all aquatic team the wins he needs, I will often forfeit some of the games to him. I remember how painful this grind was.
