Can confirm that the pet does not need to be in the team, just summoned, beware that every time you change your team lineup, you have to resummon the pet.

Changed my lineup and forgot my addon changes my summoned pet. Started battle and killed 1 pet then my SPIDER SENSES started tingling. I was able to open my pet menu and summon my falcosaur pet during the battle resulting in receiving credit for completing the WQ pet battle.
1. Pet must be summoned
2. Win
These are the requirements for completionEdit: For inquiring minds. It seems that the addon causing my troubles was Rematch
It seems i was able to fix my problem by opening the pet journal and at the bottom right(unless you changed from the default) rematch has options. Under misc options you can check KEEP COMPANION and it will resummon the pet you had out before switching your pets around.
This is a load of crap won 2 world pet fight quests with Sharptalon in pet line up and got no credit . The quest text should say you need it as a summoned pet
