Burly is located at:

/way Tiragarde Sound 67.6 12.8 Burly

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.

Hobbyist Aquarist
Benax (2/2/1), frog (2/1/2), frog (2/1/2- didn't need)
1. Bubble
2. Swarm of Flies
3. Tongue Lash until Timbo dies
4. Pokey comes in, use Swarm of Flies
5. Tongue Lash until Bubble is available
6. Bubble
7. Tongue Lash until Benax dies. Burly Jr. should die somewhere around this time
8. Bring in your next frog and use Swarm of Flies
9. Tongue Lash until Pokey dies and then during his undead round use Healing Wave

Beast Mode
Alpine Foxling (2/2/2), Alpine Foxling Kit (2/2/2), Arctic Fox Kit (2/2/2)
1. Dazzling Dance
2. Howl
3. Flurry until Timbo dies. Your Alpine Foxling may die during his undead round
4. Bring in Alpine Foxling Kit and Howl(on either Timbo or Pokey, whichever is alive)
5. Flurry until Pokey Feign's Death
6. Dazzling Dance
7. Flurry until your Alpine Foxling Kit dies and/or Pokey dies
8. Bring in Arctic Fox Kit and Howl
9. Flurry until Burly Jr. dies

This had a bit of RNG to it because of the Flurry.

Critters with Huge Teeth
3 S/S breed rabbits (2/2/1)
1. Dodge
2. Flurry
3-4. Burrow
5. Flurry when Dodge and Burrow are on CD. Use whatever comes off of CD, rinse and repeat.

Dragons Make Everything Better
Nexus Whelpling (1/2/2), Stormborne Whelpling (1/2/2), Emerald Whelpling (2/2/2)
1. Arcane Storm
2-4. Mana Surge and Timbo dies.
5. Round 5, you will both die.
6-8. Swap in your Stormborne Whelpling and Mana Surge. Pokey may feign and dodge your third Mana Surge. If he doesn't, go to #11.
9. Burly Jr. comes in, Arcane Storm
10. Tail Sweep and then you die
11. Emerald Presence
12-13. Emerald Bite
14-16. Emeral Dream
17. Emerald Presence
18. Emerald Bite
19. Emerald Bite and his own Corpse Explosion should kill him

This fight is super RNG so tweak it depending on the spells they cast. A slow version can be done using x3 Emerald Proto-whelps or green dragons like it using 2/2/2 but it went too slow for me personally.

Element of Success
Pandaren Earth Spirit (1/1/2), Skunky Alemental (1/1/1), Nightshade Sproutling (1/2/1- a breed faster than 260 speed)
1. Mudslide
2. Rupture(if it stuns him, restart)
3. Stone Shot
4. Stone Shot and Timbo should die
5. Pass Timbo's undead round.
6. Pokey comes in, Mudslide
7. Rupture
8. Pandaren Earth Spirit should die here, bring in Skunky Alemental and Brew Bolt. Pokey may Feign Death and dodge but he won't be swapped out because of Mudslide
9. Brew Bolt until Pokey dies
10. During Pokey's undead round, use Inebriate
11. Mudslide
12. Brew Bolt until either Burly Jr. or your Pandaren Earth Spirit is dead
13. If your Pandaren Earth Spirit was killed, swap in your Nightshade Sproutling and Blinding Poison
13. Lash until Burly Jr. is dead

Fun with Flying
Shore Butterfly (1/2/1), Effervescent Glowfly (1/2/1), Shrine Fly (1/2/1)
1. Sandstorm
2. Cocoon Strike
3. Scratch until Cocoon Strike is up
4. Cocoon Strike
5. Sandstorm
6. Scratch until Timbo dies. You will likely die too
7. Bring in Effervescent Glowfly and Cocoon Strike.
8. Scratch until Sandstorm wears off.
9. Swarm(Pokey may feign death)
10. Scratch
11. Cocoon Strike
12. Swarm (rinse and repeat basically)

It really depends on if Pokey feign death or not how the fight goes. After your Swarm leaves a debuff on the enemy, try to use Scratch after Swarm ends. Use Cocoon Strike on cooldown

Human Resources
Flayer Youngling(1/2/1- S/S breed), Lil' Bad Wolf (x/2/2- S/S breed), Bonkers (1/2/2- S/S breed)
1. Kick
2. Blitz
3. Deflection
4. Blitz
5. Kick
6. Blitz
7. Deflection
8. Blitz and this triggers Timbo's undead round
9. Kick and Timbo dies for good
10. Blitz
11. Deflection
12. Blitz (the next few rounds has a lot of RNG so it may not go exactly like this. Just use common sense lol)
13, Kick
14. Blitz (my pet died here)
15. Bring in Lil' Bad Wolf and Dodge (Pokey swapped out here but at this point it doesn't matter)
16. Pounce until Dodge is ready again
17. Burly Jr. will likely kill himself using Corpse Explosion

This fight has a lot of RNG towards the end. As long as you keep up Dodge and keep Tornado Punch on cooldown, you've got this. I didn't even need to use my Bonkers.

Magician's Secrets
Enchanted Pen (1,1,1), Jade Owl(1/2/1), Enchanted Broom (1/1/2)
1. Foreboding Curse
2. Quills
3. Quills
4. Evanescence
5. Quills and Timbo should trigger his undead round. If not, Quills until he does..
6. Quills and Timbo dies. Pokey comes in, use Foreboding Curse
7. Evanescence
8. Quills
9. Quills(you may die here, mine did)
10. Bring in Jade Owl and Slicing Wind- Pokey feigned here for me.
11. Burly Jr. comes in, Lift Off
12. Slicing Wind until either you or Burly Jr. dies but he will likely Corpse Explode and kill you both
13. Bring in Enchanted Broom, Wind-Up
15.Wind-Up

A lot of RNG on this fight due to Quills and Slicing Wind.

Machine Learning
Iron Starlette (1/1/1), Lifelike Toad (2/2/2), any mechanical pet
1. Wind-Up
2. Supercharge
3. Wind-Up
4. Wind-Up
5. Powerball
6. Supercharge
7. Wind-Up
8. Powerball (Pokey feigned during his undead round)
9. Powerball
10. Bring in Lifelike Toad and Tongue Lash
11. Tongue Lash
12. Tongue Lash
13. Repair

Not Quite Dead Yet
Ghastly Rat (1/1/1), Blighted Squirrel (1/2/2), Stitched Pup (2/2/1- didn't need)
1. Swarm of Flies
2. Crouch
3. Flurry until Timbo's undead phase (If you're only getting 1 Flurry attacks then just restart)
4. Swarm of Flies during his undead phase
5. Flurry during your undead phase and try to aim on getting your Ghastly Rat hit by Pokey's Curse of Doom
6. Bring in Blighted Squirrel when your Ghastly Rat dies and Crouch
7-9. Stampede (Pokey may Feign Death out but it's fine)
10. Scratch (Burly Jr. will likely kill himself using Corpse Explosion)

This fight is a bit of RNG but it's not too hard.
