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 Shadowlands 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 Exorcist

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.
