Top 3 Undead Battle Pets

Undead vanity pets are great for pet battling. Their racial is awesome and they usually have good abilities. Furthermore they are a great counter to the Anubisath Idol and the  Kun-Lai Runt, which seems to be a staple in 50% of all Pet Battle Teams.

This undead pet is awesome because of its versitility. With shadowslash, curse of doom and unholy ascension it is great for killing off elites in PVE. And with the fix to Haunt in patch 5.4 it is now a stable in many PVP teams. Haunt + Curse of Doom allows you to do a lot of damage, while being untouchable  yourself.
The Unborn Val'kyr also gets extra points for one of the coolest idle animations. Kill off a normal critter and standby while your Val'kyr brings it back to life.

A pet with very high survivability in pet fights. With Ice Barrier it can block off two enemy attacks, while Ice Tomb will keep the anemy pet frozen and on top do a good amount of damage.
Also with a speed of 325, Mr. Bigglesworth is faster than most other pets which is both good for his pounce ability and gives you and overall advantage. Faster is almost always better.

Even though the swapping spells were nerfed in patch 5.4 they are still a great way to control the fight. A lot of teams are dependant on set moves to work out and you can really mess up an opponents tactics by swapping out their pet. On top of that the combination of dotting up an enemy pet and then swapping it out so it can't retaliate is very powerful.




Worthy mention

The Creepy Crate is a great undead battle pet as well it has Cure of Doom and Agony which makes it a great dot pet. It also have Bonestorm, which is great for Taran Zhu in the Celestial Tournament, but also works great against other opponents as long as they have at least one humanoid in the team.
If Death Grip and Devour swapped place, this would be in the top three, but even as it is, it deserves a mention!

This is my top 3 of the best Undead Battle Pets. What is yours?

    1. Yes you are right, the bone raptor is really good as well, especially paired with the creepy crate.

  2. I used the Fossilized Hatchling a lot when I was leveling up my first team of level 25's, while at the same time trying to tame as many wild pets as possible. The Fossil Hatchling could survive multiple trap failures.
    Otherwise I really like the Scourged Whelpling, it's useful for several trainer fights.
    Mr Bigglesworth is very good since he can solo Yu'la. Another favourite is Stitched Pup, I use it in various celestial tournament fights.

    1. Stitched pup is really good as well. To be honest there are so many good undeads it is hard to narrow it down. :)
