Pet battle challenge of the month - October 2013

When I finished the achievement "No Time To Heal" I was a bit sad. While I was thrilled to complete it, I was also aware that it was one of the only really challenging achievements for pet battlers in the game.
Since then I have tried to set myself challenges when doing pet battles and I have had a blast.
As I know I am not the only one liking a challenge I figured I would include you guys. And to make it more fun I will make it a monthly competition complete with prizes!

Prize
The idea for prizes was to give away different vanity pets, however since the servers are divided based on region it is only possible for me to offer vanity pets to people on the EU servers. For people in other regions I will instead try and come up with other prizes (although it may not always be possible.)

For this first challenge the prize I the EU server price is a shiny Azure Crane Chick leveled to 25. It is P/P and it is unfortunately green as I didn't have a stone, but at least you will only have to redo 2 levels at max.
If you are not on the EU servers you can win a Mirror's Edge Steam Key. (If you are on the EU servers and prefer the game key rather than the vanity pet, then we can talk about that as well. :))


The challenge:
Win 3 PVP matches in a row with an all Aquatic Team.

How it works
To enter the competition  take a screenshot of the all Aquatic Team that you have managed to win 3 pvp battles in a row with. Please make sure that the abilities you use are clearly visible. Once you have the screenshot upload it somewhere and throw a link in the comment section below or link it to me on Twitter. Also include a line or two about how you play the team to win. Alternatively, please write up the names and abilities of the pets in the comment section below along with a short description of how you play the team. You are also welcome to include breeds, but it is not a requirement.

Of course I have no way of knowing whether or not you actually managed to beat 3 enemies in a row with your all Aquatic pet, but I trust you guys and also, where is the fun in cheating? ;)

How do I win?
The competition ends at midnight CEST on the 31st of October and once it has ended I will pick a random submission.

Once the competition is over the winning team will be announced here and provided I have access to the pets used in the winning team I will also make a video showcasing the team in action. If you enter the competition, please make sure you check back here so we can arrange handing over the price.

    __________
    Muckbreath:

    Rip Surge Blood in the water

    Surge for when they are about to use lift off or use an spell where they become invicible for a amount of time.

    Rip and blood in the water for simply some decent DPS.

    _____________
    Eternal Strider:

    Water Jet Cleansing rain Pump

    Cleansing rain for increasing the DPS for the whole team by 25% and a bit of heals.


    Pump for good DPS.

    Water jet just for needing to damage but only have 1 turn to do so.


    _____________
    Tundra Penguin:

    Surge Slippery Ice Ice lance


    Surge for if elemental pet is active.


    Slippery ice to lower your opponements accuracy and to higher the efficency of Ice Lance.

    Ice Lance for a good amount of DPS. Very good against mech pets.

    Took me quite a while, but was very enjoyable! Thanks!

    1. Sounds like an interesting team and good job on doing the challenge. Did you start with Eternal Strider in for Cleansing Rain?

      Delete
    2. Yes, sometimes I switched out my Eternal Strider aswell to let it live, then later get the cleansing rain weather effect back up.

  3. Nice; I'm going to give it a try.

    Idea for a future challenge: Complete the Celestial Tournament without allowing a single pet to die.

    It's pretty tough. Last week I did it with only one pet dying total (Mongoose), and this week as well; I was so close and Xu-Fu crit my water spirit for over 1k making him the 1 dead pet this week :(
