Taran Zhu Pet Battle FAQ and Strategy

Taran Zhu is probably the hardest fight in the first stage of the Celestial Tournament. The two other opponents for the week is Chen Stormstout and Wrathion, the black prince


Taran Zhu is Shado-Pan and has sworn to protect Pandaria and now he is doing that in Pet Battles as well with his team of deadly Mini Pandarian Monks. 
This is a team full of ninja moves and karate kicks.

Strategy

Taran Zhu will start the fight with Yen. The key is to avoid taking too much damage from his comeback ability. 
Because the team has so many abilities that will prevent you from doing damage and due to the healing abilities (both from XXX bandage and from all 3 pets being humanoids) it is important to get a lot of damage in, preferably without Taran Zhu being able to retaliate.
That is why the best team for beating him looks like this:

Creepy Crate
Using Agony, Curse of Doom and Bonestorm.
All these are strong against humanoids and Bonestorm will be able to hurt the backline pets without them having the option to retaliate or more importantly heal up.
You should get at least 2 x Bonestorm in and COD + Agony will finish up Yen leaving you to deal with the 2 others.
The benefits of using Curse of Doom is that the ability deals a lot of damage in one go, meaning Yen will probably not benefit from his Comeback ability before it is too late. 
If you do not have the Creepy Crate then Fozziled Hatchling can also be used for the Bonestorm ability.

Maggot x2
The important ability here is Consume as it is an undead ability it will deal a lot of damage to Taran Zhus humanoid panda monks and because the Maggot is a beast, their attacks will not be strong against your pet.
Consume combined with burrow should get you through this fight. For the 3 ability I would take Acidic Goo. Even though it is week against humanoids, it still adds more damage to your following attacks.
If you do not have a Maggot you can use Larva, Mr. Grubbs, Jungle Grub, Imperial Silkworm, Festering Maggot, Devouring Maggot or Wild Silkworm instead.
