Pet battle challenge of the month - November 2013

The challenge of November is all about themed pet battle teams.
Pet battling is not all about winning, it is about winning while looking cool and nothing says cool like an awesome themed oet battle team.

This month I challenge you to put together a pet battling team that has a clear theme to it.
It can be a theme based on the names you have given your pets, it can be a team that only uses a particular familie of pets or it can be another thematic focus.
The most important thing is that the theme is clear to the opponent.

Prizes
As last month there will be two different prizes one for people on the EU servers and one for people on all the other servers.
For the EU servers you can choose between a green level 25 Azure Crane Chick or a level 1 Phoenix Hawk Hatchling.
If you are not on the EU servers you can win a Medal of Honor Steam Key.

How it works
Create an awesome looking themed pet battle team, then test it out in battle. Make sure it can at least win once in a while. In the comment section below describe your team and the theme. If possible link to a screenshot of the team in action although this is not required to enter the competition.

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.

  1. My themed team is:

    Unborn Valkyr
    Blighthawk
    Stitched Pup

    Theres a variety of themes that could suffice for this team, however the theme I attempted most to show was that all the pets are part of the undead pet family.

    As for battle standards; As long as they're isin't a aquatic on the team it usually can win. The blight hawk's liftoff ability can also weaken those aquatics and hopefully manage to faint them.

    For abilitys:

    Unborn Valkyr:

    Shadow Slash || Curse of Doom || Haunt ||

    Stitched Pup:

    Diseased Bite || Howl || Consume Corpse

    Blighthawk:

    Infected Claw || Consume Corpse || Lift-Off

    The main purpose of the team is to use the haunt ability on the Unborn Valkyr then proceed to switch to the stitched pup and use the ability "Howl." This will make the Haunt DOT do 300 dmg. After that, depending on how much damage is taken by the stitched pup, either use "Diseased Bite" or use "Consume Corpse" to regain 50% health. Rinse and repeat.

    In the event that your unborn valkyr and stitched pup faint, use your blighthawk.

    Your blighthawk's main purpose is to throw out as much DPS as possibile then use "Consume Corpse" to regain 50% health. Other than that, theres not that much too it.

    SIDE NOTES:
    On some conditions, instead of imediately switching to you Stitched Pup second, you'll have to switch to you Blighthawk.

    Some of conditions are:

    The enemy uses a aquatic pet
    You think the enemy will use a move that will switch out your pet (Death grip, Nether Gate, Sweep, etc.)

    Other than that, theres not that much to it.

    Thanks for hosting this competition! :)

    1. Sounds very strong and I love Val'Kyr teams just because the Val'Kyr looks so cool. :D

  2. Ok, my team :

    Unborn Val'kyr:

    Shadow Slash / Curse of Doom / Unholy Ascension


    Father Winter's Helper:

    Ice lance / Call Blizzard / Ice Tomb


    Winter's Little Helper

    Ice lance / Eggnog / Ice Tomb



    Theme used here : CHRISTMAS! :D Yup, with the val'kyr being the spirit of X-mas? xD

    99% of ppl use val'kyr on my battle group, so it's a must have.

    I start with it, hit as much as i can and then use Ascension. I Call Blizzard with either pet i get in. If i get a debuff, i get the Winter's Helper and i keep switching and tank with her, while nuking with Father Winter's Helper. I use the Ice Tomb as much as i can for this :)

    It worked fine, but it's not a really strong team. It's decent, but not perfect. I wrote on your video what my main theme is.

    Awesome competition btw :P

    1. Sorry Stefan, it is a cool team, but the dice were against you this time. I will most likely have a new competition up in a couple of days so stay tuned for another opportunity! :)

  4. I got a message from CarstenB who could not get his comment through. Here is his themed team:

    Sorry I wasn't able to post it on the blog it wouldn't allow me. Sometimes google is the worst :( Here is what I had hope you enjoy it.

    My Team Comp:
    Lil' Deathwing
    Lil' Tarecgosa
    Soul of the Aspects

    This is a dragon themed team all based around dragons from Cataclysm (Deathwing, Tarecgosa, Dragonsoul Dragon)

    Lil' Deathwing: Tail Sweep, Call Darkness, Elementium Bolt
    Lil' Tarecgosa: Arcane Blast, Surge of Power, Arcane Explosion
    Soul of the Aspects: Claw, Deflection, Surge of Light

    DW and SOTA synergies well together due to darkness and surge of light. I decided to use claw on SOTA and Arcane Blast on Tarecgosa to give a wider variety of abilities for my pets to use. Since DW is a P/P breed he has very low speed and therefore Tail Sweep should work very well on him.

    Favorite combo: DW, Call Darkness, Elementium Bolt (Switch to SOTA)
    Sota, Surge of Light (Switch to Tarecgosa)
    Tarecgosa, Arcane Blast till enemy dead, Surge of Power

    Strengths: Flying, Magic, Critters (Claw), Heal pets.
    Weaknesses: Humanoids, Deflection/Evasion, Undead pets.

    I am on the US servers
