This post is part of my 10 Days of Pet Battles series.
The stupidest things I've done in a pet battle - oh where do I start?? I am sure many people can relate to some of these.
1. Having the wrong team out
There is nothing like battling the Beast Fable pets with a team containing 2 critters. That's not so bad though - you can abandon those tamer battles without much of a penalty. However, I am sure I am not the only one who had battled wild pets (pre 5.3) with a team that was
a) too high level
b) too low level
c) all full of classes weak against the pet you want

| Navi you dumbass, bring out the Clockwork gnome against the beastly hound, not the kitty! |
2. Not having the right abilities set for your pets
No no no, I wanted Tail Swipe not breath! And I didn't want Sleep, I want Pump! Abandoning isn't such an issue anymore to fix your mistakes. What's a bandage here and there!
 |
| Haha! You could have gotten an extra hit in since I am faster than you but noooooo! |
3. No dragons, EVER for capturing
Never every use dragons for capturing pets. Never ever. Damned things always hit so hard just when you don't want to and then bang! Dead rare pet. Poopsicles. Silly dragons always killing my rare wild pets arctic fox kits and sporeling sprout!

| Toothless! Bad dragon! |
The number of times I have gone into a battle and forgotten to heal up from the previous battle... sometimes it's ok,especially with a strong healing time. Pure damage teams usually go belly up after a few hits. Thank goodness for stockpiling bandages - a shame I can't sell some! Perhaps Blizz should let first aid make pet bandages too.
You know, after months of pet battling you'd think I'd be better and not make mistakes...but no. I'm still making the same old mistakes today!
