World of WarCraft: The Best Battle Pets In The Game | Game Rant

As if there wasn’t enough to do in the wildly popular MMORPG, World of WarCraft, Blizzard introduced pet battles. This fun and quirky system allows Pokemon fans and collectors alike to find new avenues of adventure within Azeroth alongside a team of trusty companions. Most original pets became battle pets along with hundreds of new ones. With so many options, how does one know what the best options are?

From vanilla to Battle for Azeroth and beyond, there are hundreds of tamable pets in the wild, lootable from dungeons and raids, or collected from special events. Each one comes with its own unique stats separated into health, power, and speed. Explore some of the best options the game has to offer and build an unbeatable team.

Updated January 9th, 2021 by Christopher Fain: As players venture into the newly released Shadowlands expansion, they eventually encounter new and dangerous battle pets. Those that want powerful teams to take them on and even tame them are going to need to know what some of the best options are.

Choosing the best pets for a team goes beyond their basic stats. It’s also a study of their ability slots and deciding which abilities in each tier better compliment a team. A thorough understanding of the mechanics of each ability helps many a battle pet tamer build the perfect team to take on the new and exciting challenges in the realms of death.
