You can battle the Pets at any time, no World Quest requirement.
Should take 180 Pet Battles in total to do all achievements with each type.
ALL fights are Single [pet-ability=1089] Pet Encounters.

I have attempted to provide as much accurate information on this subject as possible at this current point in time.
