Lost Netherpup (2, 2, 2)Sequence:
1. Crouch.
2. Diseased Bite.
3. Howl.
4. Diseased Bite.
5. Diseased Bite.
6. Fel Pup dies; Lost Netherpup joins.
7. Shadow Shock.
8. Shadow Shock.
9. Howl.
10. Shadow Shock; Flummox dies.Basically, you use Howl every time you are weakened, so your damage is maximized, and rely on the Beast racial to finish him at the tail end.

Aquatic: Aquatic Acquiescence
- Team: [npc=71159] (2,2,2) | [npc=73359] (1,1,1) | [npc=70098] (1,1,1)
Strategy: here | Credit: Purged
Gahz'rooki can be subbed with a (1,2,2) [npc=71017], but [npc=73359] & [npc=70098] have no alternates at this time.Beast: Best of the Beasts
- There seem to be a lot of variations for this fight with different combinations of spiders and pups:
- If you have [npc=99527] (alts), [npc=93142], [npc=99526] (alts), use Randi's strategy (here).
- If you have [npc=62864] (alts), [npc=72464], B/B [npc=62435] (alts), use Djongov's strategy (here).
- If you have [npc=91823], [npc=93142], another beast, use TheManCalledZee's strategy (here).
Critter: Mousing Around
- Option 1: [npc=64238] (1,2,2) (alts) + 2 critters with [pet-ability=165]
Strategy: here | Credit: Chidsuey
This can be broadened to "a critter with [pet-ability=519]" and two "critters w/avoidance" - if not [pet-ability=165], then the [pet-ability=312]+[pet-ability=159] from a hare/rabbit/cottontail/bunny (list).Dragonkin: Dragons!

If you need help getting Yu'la from the Celestial Tournament, I had a lot of luck using mel9525's guide (here). Keep in mind you only need 12/15 tamers for the achievement, though.Elemental: Ragnaros, Watch and Learn
- Team: [npc=79039] (x,x,1) | [npc=73357] (2,x,2) | [npc=61703] (1,1,2) (only H/S and P/B are faster than Flummox, not sure if this matters)

Trying to find a middle pet to sub into ingles's strat that is more common, but so far no luck.Flying: Flock Together

- 3 falcosaurs with [pet-ability=518] & [pet-ability=1773] --- Strategy: here | Credit: Solacia
- Snowfeather and Sharptalon Hatchlings (1,1,1 on both) + an owl with [pet-ability=184]+[pet-ability=256]+[pet-ability=517] (ex. [npc=97126]) --- Strategy: here | Credit: Xelians

Looks like the breed of the Wolf can impact viability. See if the alternate moveset by briare (here) helps if you're having trouble.Magic: Master of Magic
- Team: [npc=71021] (1,1,1) | [npc=68658] (2,2,2) | [npc=71016] (?,2,?) (alternately: [npc=62317] (?,?,2))

Strat is pretty straightforward, but commenters on OP have provided additional alts (like subbing [npc=68806] for Voidcaller).Mechanical: Roboteer
