Since Legion expansion, Blizzard did not attempt to bring higher rarity options for battle pets. We haven’t got any new pet dungeons either, it has been years. I would like to see some “new content” added for battle pets, as a pet battles enjoyer. By “new content” i do not only mean seeing new pets in the game, yeah it is cool, keep adding new ones, i like it, but what i also want is add new content other than new pets too. Maybe competitive pet battling, and a kind of reward renown track like thing. I just feel like pet battle content is abondoned, they wont let it die completely because they sell pets on shop, they make money out of it, but they wont bring new content either. Feels bad. I just wanna see new stuff coming for pet battle fans.
Been a while since there was a new raiding with leaches achievement as well.
They should NEVER introduce epic rarity… but more pet dungeons? Absolutely.
no epic quality plz. I don’t wanna/need spend more time on this side game than it already takes. This was rejected by “the community” when they suggested some time ago - I can’t imagine upgrading 1k+ pets to epic LOL
yes epic quality pls, ever since u guys rejected that last offer, they abondoned pet battles forever, do you see anymore updates since then? its a big NO.
You have no rush
some time ago 
long long years ago 
i am not grateful of those whoever voted negative for the continuation of this content! now they do not give muck about us anymore …
it is time for it, you had years to make them all rare, now give us some improvements, Epic and Legendary quality battle pets alredy exist, and they are NPC pets. Why wouldn’t we able to have them aswell?!
Ah yes pokemon for the masses, I wouldnt worry am sure they will add more soon. Just waiting for them to finish the Dance studio
they add lots of pokemons, i am already happy with that, but problem is they do nothing else than adding new pokemons, there is no new content for battle pets for long years
There are new “legendary” tamers and 50 new pets per patch. It’s not abandoned
For one, they need to make serious catch-up systems. Someone who decides to start now with Pet Battles has more than just a mountain to climb. So without reducing the effort of players who have already levelled and upgraded their pets, I suggest the following:
- Epic quality introduced. Upgradeable from Rare with a new stone item that costs 10 Polished Pet Charms, or from Trash/Comming/Uncommon with a new stone that costs 25 Charms.
- Type-specific training stones removed and converted to Flawless ones which work on every type of pet. There is no need to have 10 different items with near-identical purpose take up bag or bank space.
- All pets from legacy contents (Vanilla through Shadowlands) that are purchaseable on the vendors should also become available for gold with conversion of 1 Charm = 10 gold. Yes, this includes the pet that costs 10k tokens in Shadowlands, it would go for 100k gold. It would be infinitely faster than it currently takes.
- Training stones should become available also for gold and not only for Charms, with the same conversion rate of 1 Charm → 10 gold. This way people will not be required to spend hundreds of hours pet battling (or cheesing it at the Lunarfall Garisson), but they will be given the option of spending gold. A trash-quality level 1 pet would require either 51 Charms, as it does now, or 5100 gold to get to Rare-quality and lvl25. 5k gold is a lot faster to get from World Quests than it is to get 50 charms.
- Fun idea: Completing World Quests, World Events and killing World Bosses with a cosmetic pet that can participate in pet battles on your side also rewards a small amount of exp to your pet
Have you actually read my post? I already say they add new pets and im happy for that, but this is all they do, nothing else. No other content in the game is abondoned as much as pet battles did. When all we got in past few years is just the increase in battle pets, and if you accept this as ‘new content’, and if you are satisfied with that, then you are actually not that interested in pet battles & battle pets.
I think having three qualities is fine. More dungeons, though? I would love more dungeons.
I like your ideas, and i would like to add more on them.
• With the upcoming system we will probably see training dummies at home, because we saw a dummy in the housing teaser video. Just like that, it would be cool if we had a mini training dummy for our pets too. Obviously they should earn much slower XP that way compared to pet battles since it would be an afk way to level our battle pets, just a boost to max the levels of our hundres of pets. Leave one level 1 pet to dummy, take it back level 25 in 1 day or 2 days, something like that.
•Competitive pet battling, and a reward system for it. How pvp fans enjoy and get rewarded for levelling their rank and their honor levels, pet battlers also should be rewarded for their efforts. These could include toys, skins, emotes, cosmetics, new pets, even can be new mounts, but all should be related with pet battles and battle pets. So those who are not interested in pet battles are not going to feel forced to play it.
Example to toy - “You may now summon more than one pet at a time” (10 sec cd, lasts until you cancel the effect, dismiss or logout).
Example to pet skins - That would be new in the game, it is like xmog but for pets, they dont need to have 10 pieces or so, pet mogs can be made of 1-2 pieces only, each with suitable theme for the pet itself.
Example to emotes - Unlocking new emotes as part of the reward system, basically you have more options to interact with your pets. Dances, whistles, cuddling, throwing them up and catching etc etc etc
Example to new pets - Just like when you reach at some rank or honor level you earn mounts, xmog etc, news pets for those who achieve ranks in ranked pet battles!
Example to new mounts - Gaining ability to let a group of flying pets in your collection of your choice fly you, like a flying mount, or like a ground mount an army of your lil friends, carry you around, while one or two sits on your shoulder.
The pet dungeon storyline is already completed. I’d love to see more stuff involving it, but… to be honest, pet content was never particularly good. Pretty much all pet PvE is completely ‘solved’ - There’s sites out there that not only tell you exactly which pets to use for which fight/achievement and a turn by turn breakdown, there’s a whole addon where you can turn the required inputs for the fights into a script so that you can just turn your brain off and press the same button over and over again.
I do wish they’d do more with the collecting stuff. Like others have said, it’s been years since we’ve had Raiding with Leashes. The last one was added three expansions ago. I’m sure Warlords of Draenor and Legion could be given a dozen fun pets each.
Semi-correct - it’s a side gig that no one should really be ultra focused on - I do it to get extra WQ/rep done - to have some fun pets sometimes but otherwise it’s a mind-numbing content that has little room for “enhancement” - pet battle dungeons are tedious and boring - just time consuming.
There is no room to have more fun and the “Epic quality” would be fake inflation - what exactly do you think would be “fun” here? Farming more charms to buy upg stones? Fighting one pet in the wild 100 times extra to “proc” the epic one? IS this “content”? Do you not value your own time? It’s like fake chasing of a dragon and once u go through the grueling journey to upg your main roster to epic, you will realize that pets behave the same way but the old content of pet battles is extra trivial now (i.e. boring) and anyone behinning pet battles will be even more overwhelmed to get into anything newer.
You chose the wrong game mode buddy - it was always a side thing. To have fun during downtime.
There is no need to add extra layers of “extra” and “Complexity”
But also, with me having like 1700 pets and all except one pet battle achievement saying I’m not "interested in it is just rude and you are an egoistical, vain maniac.
I agree about pet battle dungeons. Every contintent should have one and do something with the Timewalking week for it.
More content like the Falcosaurs in Legion would be good. Some questline to do some battles, capturing etc with some reward at the end.
If they add Epic Quality pets they’d have to be kept separate from other pet somehow. Only these new pets could be Epic (no making existing ones upgradable) and there should be very few of them.
Also they should be different in battles. Perhaps they can’t be in Teams of 3. If you use a Epic Quality pet then it fights alone. So you’d have to defeat the whole enemy team with one pet.
Or something similar to distinguish them.
They’d have to be rewards from some Celestial Tournament type content or maybe for an achievement in Pet Battle Dungeons. They couldn’t just be wandering around to be captured.
I just wish they would raise the pet level cap. Pet battling is the only PvE content in the game that can’t be outleveled.
Im not big on pet battling, but i wouldn’t mind running the old pet dungeons with overleveled pets. the same way i run old raids with overleveled characters.
To translate from Kevin-esque to normal human language: “There is a ton of free stuff in game, I wouldn’t mind more free stuff.”
you can hit over 1900 pets that is 19000 pet charm to upgrade all no TY
- It’s closer to 5000-ish since we can have most pets up to 3 times. I am not even considering the possibility putting them on cages to surpass that limit
- You don’t need to have all 1900 pets (or 5000 for that matter) immediately on Epic the moment it becomes available. But it’s doable over the course of an expansion if you get 50 charms per day on average, which is less than 3 Pet Battle WQ that reward charms (and you can go in all previous expansions to do those too now). It’s one of those super-long-term investments, like 100000 honor kills or 100 Exalted Reputations or getting everything from the Timewarped Vendors. Getting from 0 to 1500 pets takes longer than that unless someone else gives them to you.
