Greetings:
Posh here,
I have created this guide to assist people in getting the most out of their pet battling experience. Many people whom I have talked to have felt very frustrated with pet battles, but having the right addons make pet battling enjoyable and fun. Once they installed the right addons, it helped them immensely. This is a work in progress, maintaining it for 6.0.2, so some addons may still be buggy while the process continues.
The short list:
General Battle Pet Addons:
Pet Tracker -

PetJournal Enhanced -

Note: Due to 6.0.2 curse does not have an updated version, however WoW Interface has a fan-updated version posted
Link to Pet Journal Enhanced on WoW Interface
Battle Pet BreedID -

Auto Safari Hat -

Note: not updated to use the item yet instead of equipping it
Daily Global Check: Pet Tamers -
Link to Curse.com page for Daily Global Check: Pet Tamers
Optional: Pokemon Trainer: The Pet Battle Mod -
Link to Curse.com page for Pokemon Trainer: The Pet Battle Mod
(Developer quit updating but it does work without issues on 6.0.2)
Pet Battle Team Management:
You need a good team manager, so one of the following will do, each have their plus and minus.
Pet Battle Teams -
Link to Curse.com page for Pet Battle Teams
Note: Due to 6.1 This is BROKEN, and hasnt been updated. Due to Pet Battle Teams going off line, and not being updated for 6.1, use Rematch
This one by far is my favorite,
because of its simplicity
, and I have been able to tweak it to fit my needs
Optional: Pet Battle Master -

Clunky, difficult, and obtrusive when not pet battleing
Rematch -

A little clunky to set up, and has a few of the same annoyances of Pet Battle Master, but has some nice features.
The Details of Each addon and why you should get it
Pet Tracker has many great features when it comes to looking for pets in World of Warcraft.
Such as:
Identifying pets that you don't have, in the current zone on your map and in your quest log.
While battling it will alert you with an exclamation point on a pet that is better than the one you have, or identifies if you don't have one should capture it
Puts an icon where pet spawn points are from data gathered by WoWhead
The first time you use it and open your map, you may be overwhelmed. Don't be afraid, it just takes a moment to set it up.
Notice that its very cluttered:
Now that I have filtered the Turnip, only one icon on the screen, and when you mouse over it, it shows more information.
Another feature, is it adds to your on screen objectives a progress bar. If you right click on objectives you will get a drop down giving you more choices. You can even have it not show at all if it annoys you. Notice the bar is color coded by how many rares/ and uncommon's I have. I can't show you a zone with greater variety till next expansion. When I had less pets, it would show greys, whites, greens and nothing if i was missing the pet. It was very helpful
Pet battle teams is an excellent way to organize your teams. When you start doing pet battle dailies, or the Celestial Tournament, it makes it nice to quickly set up a team, and you don't have to worry about strategies.
Notice that I have created empty teams to act as barriers between different pet battle groups. That way I can quickly scroll through my list to get the right team for the job. I have over 60 battle teams set up. (not including the empty teams)
When you click the + button, it instantly ads a new team directly below the one you are currently have selected. Then if you right click on the pets in that team, you can do several things, including renaming the team, and locking the team (that's the yellow colored text). Swapping pets in and out of teams is not hard, it just takes a bit of getting used to setting up your teams. Once you have them all set up though it makes life easy and you can quickly and efficiently do your dailies, pvp, and tournaments.
Pet Journal Enhanced helps you navigate your gowning pet collection. It allows you to sort through rarity, families, level, even multiples, type of pet, battling or not, cageable etc. Its simply a matter of your preference.
It has filters that work much like tracker, you can click "Filter pets by current zone" and it will only show you what is available in that zone. You can even click a "The Card Game" pets, or "Blizzard store" pets.
This addon becomes essential once you start understanding the nature of Pet Breeds, and how they work. This addon is excellent as it quickly identifies what pet you are fighting, and also quickly helps you identify if you are fighting a worthy pet, or a very common pet.
If you need more help understanding Pet Breeds, there are some excelent guides, but the best guide is one found on
http://www.warcraftpets.com/wow-pet-battles/breeds/
using this screenshot as an example, you can see the Elfin rabbit that I am looking at. When your mouse hovers over the icon of the pet (or when you click on a linked pet) it tells you the possible breeds. As you can see, that the Elfin Rabbit comes in only 2 flavors, B/B and S/B. Using the warcraftpets.com guide, you can understand that a B/B pet may not be the best choice, but the S/B pet is the better choice. In this picture, you can see I have the B/B breed as the current breed. So this guy is not a very good pet to catch.
Now when your friends link you a pet, all excited that they captured a rare B/B
Elfin Rabbit
, you can laugh at them and say "Oh look at my Awesome S/B
Elfin Rabbit
"
Note: this addon has not been updated yet
This addon should be pretty self explanatory. Once you have the achievement
Taming The World
you will obtain an item on all of your characters in the mailbox. The achievement reward is the
Safari Hat
which gives your pets 10% exp buff while they battle. Currently this is an item, but in Warlords this will change, and become a buff of some sort. This addon is useful while Mists of Pandara is still going.
How this addon works. When you engage in a pet battle, it instantly switches this item out of your inventory if you have it in your bags. When you leave battle, it will switch you back to the head item you were wearing before the battle. It is not foolproof, if you happen to manually equip it, or get disconnected while in a fight, or have an instance que pop. It will forget what you were wearing previously, and just leave you with the safari hat on 100% of the time.
Unfortunately the creator of this Mod has grown tired of updating this particular addon. Although it has some nice features, there are also a few bugs left in the mod.
I don't suggest getting this particular mod, unless you like the quick and easy access to the attack bonuses and penalties of your pets abilities vs the enemies.
What it does, It places a window on each side of your screen, identifying the pet, and weather the abilities are eligible for a bonus or not.
However one of the biggest problems is it incorrectly puts the wrong icons on the spells each of the pets have. So you cannot go via picture what the opposing pet is going to do. It also has other numerous bugs. I use it simply for my pet abilities on the left side, to see them at a glance. The enemy ones are pretty unreliable.
Notice how some abilities are up arrows, and others are down for damage bonus's, and the right pointing red or yellow arrow identifies your speed vs the enemies speed.
Although with good intentions this is by far one of the coolest addons, but it also has a lot of extra unnecessary features that make using it difficult, and cumbersome. Frankly there are only 3 features that I like using with it, the others I have had to disable, or be sneaky how I used them. I dislike several other features, and have disabled them, Some can't be disabled, so they must be hidden by playing wow in windows mode, and moving the features off screen.
Good Features:
The switch pet screen.
It is a nice feature, and I like how it looks, operates, and the information it shows. This screen pops up when you click "Switch pet" or when one of your pets dies.
The current enemy's ability information panel
This shows with certainty (and when pvp'ing it will give both suggestions till one is verified) what abilities the enemy pet has, and its current cool-down remaining. It displays this right above your pass button.
Current Team:
This little feature of this addon is annoying, It is always up, reminding you of what pets you have active. It goes away during pet battles, but is there at all other times, including in raids, teams, instances, etc. It has a x button, but it is back immediately after you change, reload, or finish a pet battle. The easiest way to get rid of this is to pick it up and move it off screen where you cant see it. This can only be done in windows mode, (you can also hide it behind your buttons if you are using the standard wow interface. There is a check box to auto display this item, but somehow it always seems to check itself. That's why moving it off the screen worked better.
Useless but colorful and beautiful battle legend.
This tab has absolutely no good information in it. Although it looks pretty, its just too bulky and messy to contain any actual usable information. Again thankfully you can pick this item up and hide it behind your interface, or off the screen.
The cumbersome and clunky team organizer
This may look like a neat feature, but compared to pet battle teams, this is just bulky and awkward to navigate. Plus it lacks the simplicity and ease of navigation that pet battle teams has.
I already have enough information flood, this bulky team organization panel felt too obtrusive to me. Luckily it can be disabled inside the addon control panel with a check box.
This addon adds a new mini map button, when you hover over it, it identifies in one easy place where your tamers are that give pet supply satchels or rewards. There is not much more to explain, other than it does add icons to the map, as well as plugs into TomTom and will direct you to where you have to go. It also has a interface button that will also track non-reward pet tamers too, for those of you doing
The Longest Day
achievment.
Please note this is a work in progress while I evaluate this addon. My first impression is it is quite clunky, and requires quite a bit of extra work. But it has some very nice features. Much like Pet Battle Teams, you are able to organize your teams into different groups. What I dislike about it is that I am limited to only 6 groups.
Being limited to only 6 groups though may not be as bad as i first thought, as another feature is that it will auto switch teams for you to the name of the trainer you are fighting. Assuming that you have named your team identical to the trainers name. This will allow you to sort your teams into much larger groups, whereas before I grouped things like "Celestial trainers" and "Celestial spawns" so that I could quickly find the Celestial Tournament round 1 pets vs Round 2 pets. With Rematch, I can throw them all in one category, assuming I named them correctly. Personally I wish that it would let you have more groups.
Other features include an auto import from Pet Battle Teams, I was able to import my pet teams in just fine using this feature in the options box.
Another feature is the leveling queue for pets that need leveling. Then you can designate pet slots that will auto queue the next pet in line to be leveled. This does not seem to be a bad feature, but I personally like a lot more control over which pets I level against which trainer. It does give you some ability to swap them before fighting, and bump to the next in the queue. Perhaps this will just take a while to get used to as it is very new to me.
Well, that is pretty much all the addons I use for my pet battles and to make life simple while I do my dailies and hunting down pets for my friends.
Enjoy!

Do you know of any addons that let you put brief notes on individual pets? I'd like to mark some as not viable/sub-optimal for battling. Only alternative I can think of is favoriting, but that can get weird @ 700+ to go through.

Thank you so much for this guide. Despite being level 100, I've only just recently got into pet battling and found keeping track of and sorting/finding through all the pets I'd collected was getting more difficult. This guide has been really helpful (e.g. I didn't know about B/B and S/B etc before I read this guide) and I have now downloaded 2 of the addons to help get me started in the world of pet battling and gaining pet battling achievements.

Just a couple of notes:
For Pet Battle Masters, the "Current Team" window can be permanently disabled. Go to your interface menu, Addons tab, select PetBattleMaster. Under it's General Tab, uncheck "Auto open team view."
Also of note, I believe the Switch Pet window and the Current Enemy Ability window Posh shows on the Pet Battle Masters tab above are both features from Pet Tracker. I tried Pet Tracker, but I'm used to seeing Pet Breeds as P/P, S/S, like in Battle Pet BreedID. Pet Tracker uses small icons to represent breeds and it took me longer to figure out exactly what breed I was looking at. Plus, Pet Tracker doesn't seem to be able to determine the breed of a wild pet at the start of combat the way Battle Pet BreedID can. Once I disabled Pet Tracker, I no longer see those two windows using Pet Battle Masters.

Awesome guide.
FYI for anyone like myself who just now (Jan 2016) is getting into Pet Battles. Rematch now has most of the features that were requested in the guide. As well as the possibility to add notes to teams. Unlimited teams and 12 tabs to sort them.
Can't comment much on usability as I'm still fresh, but PetBattle teams hasn't been updated in a while, so I went with Rematch.
Hope this help, and thanks for the guide.

Pet Tracker hasn't been updated in almost a year and has pretty much been abandoned by the Owner. Hasn't had any new features added to it in quite some time and no responses to any of the tickets people have submitted. Hope someone picks it up and continues working on it. It was a really useful addon and I haven't found any others with similar features.

FYI - as of Battle For Azeroth expansion the add-on "Rematch" no longer works for Mac users, and the add-on's developer cannot find a solution to make it work.

Glad to have found this guide of yours too, Posh! Another great job. I'm still looking into maybe tweaking Weak Auras to work with another add-on, as we discussed, so I'll keep you apprised of any progress with that.

Tried today and Pokemon Trainer doesn't even load. The last update was in Aug 11, 2019. There are several open tickets and none closed. Seems abandoned.
If anyone is aware of another similar addon that still works, I would love to know. Thanks!
