Hobbyist Aquarist

Note before starting: I tried my very best to not include store bought pets, TCG pets, pets that you have to get a specific breed, and very hard to get pets. For a few fights I did have to use pets with a specific breed because I was spending hours trying to perfect a strat and it just wasn't working without a certain breed. Also, a lot of the BfA fights don't have rigid movesets like previous expansions did. For a lot of these new fights, you have to be a bit more flexible. Use these strats as a guideline :) Please feel free to send me a message in-game at Gabrielle-Whisperwind. I do not usually check the comments because I have *literally* thousands of posts and I will most definitely miss a question, or any suggestions on tweaking a strat.

The rest of the strats you can find here: Family Battler

Addons I definitely recommend:
Battle Pet BreedID - helps you determine which breed your pet is!
Rematch - changes the Pet Journal UI and adds SO much for you for sorting, adds a leveling pet queue, etc. There's seriously a lot. My favorite is that it lets you save teams!
PetTracker - Shows you the cooldowns of the enemy team. VERY IMPORTANT. Also shows you trainers on your map. For some reason not all of them are listed in the basic WoW UI.

for leana darkwind
two eternal strider power and speed - water jet, cleansing rain, pump
inland croaker power and speed - tongue lash, call blizzard, ice tomb

because of RNG use your judgement
start with eternal strider
pump
cleansing rain
pump until lesser charged gale dies
in comes lesser twister current
use pump until your first strider dies
bring in your second eternal strider
pump
cleansing rain
pump
pump
pump
use your judgement here depending on your health
if you can use cleansing rain then water jet but if you are going to die before you use both just use water jet
lesser twister current should be dead if not restart
in comes mind warper
water jet your eternal strider dies
inland crocker
use
ice tomb
call blizzard
tongue lash

Talia Sparkbrow:
Very RNG-dependent fight; with this strat, at least I win some of the time.
[npc=65203] (1/2/2): [pet-ability=513], [pet-ability=123], [pet-ability=356], [pet-ability=356]; [npc=142120] dies. [pet-ability=356], [pet-ability=513], [pet-ability=356]; [npc=65203] dies (unless you get lucky and your next [pet-ability=356] lands).
[npc=62994] (1/2/2): [pet-ability=566]; sometimes [npc=142121] dies here; if not [pet-ability=525] or [pet-ability=566], depending on [npc=142121]'s health; [npc=142121] dies. [pet-ability=525], [pet-ability=123], [pet-ability=525] until [npc=62994] dies or until you can get another [pet-ability=123] in; if you do, you can probably [pet-ability=525] some more before your [npc=62994] dies.
npc=82045 (1/2/2): [pet-ability=979], [pet-ability=1353] until [npc=142123] dies or you do (like I said, it's very RNG-dependent).
