Pets:
Bloodgazer Hatchling(1-1-2)
Spawn of Onyxia(2-1-1)
Kirin Tor Familiar(1-1-1)(as backup, never needed this one).

Tactics:
Start with Warning Squawk.
Just spam Falcosaur Swarm! until the pets dies.
Next bring up Spawn of Onyxia, first cast use Lift-Off. Hopefully two of your opponents will be dead after this.
Continue using Spawn of Onyxia rest of the fight, use Healing Flame when needed and cast Tail Sweep until last one is dead.

Comment by Celea

For this fight I used Rose Taipan (1/1/1), Darkmoon Tonk (1/2/1), and Eye of Observation (1/2/1). This was fast and simple. Good luck.

1. Poison Fang
2. Puncture Wound, Eighty Eight dies (If he for some reason does not die this round, Poison Fang again)
3. Poison Fang
4. Swap to Darkmoon Tonk
5. Lock on
6. Minefield
7. Lock on, Turbo dies and Whiplash comes in
8. Swap to Eye of Observation
8. Blinkstrike until Whiplash is dead. Feel free to alternate Lens Flare in as the cooldown for Cocoon Strike on Whiplash seems to be short. If the Eye of Observation dies before this, bring the Tonk back out and use Missile to finish it off.

You're going against a critter, beast, flying team so plan accordingly.

~~Personally, I used a (H/S) Menagerie Custodian, a (P/P) Zandalari Kneebiter, and a (P/P) Jade Oozeling. I just did their main talents until things died.~~

Edit: I've switched my team a bit and have some instructions in the form of a Rematch team.

The new team is a (P/P) 221 Zandalari Kneebiter, an (H/S) 112 Menagerie Custodian, and an (S/S) 221 Nether Farie Dragon. The following paste is for Rematch.

Talia Sparkbrow:4AP2:221814S:112916B:2215HD:N:Turn 1) Black Claw\nTurn 2) Leap\nTurn 3-4) Hunting Party \n\n>Eighty Eight Dead\n\nSwitch to Menagerie Custodian\n\nTurn 5) Shock and Awe\nTurn 6) Zap\nTurn 7) IF at this time the failsafe has activated, use Ion Cannon. If not, use Zap until failsafe is used or Turbo is dead\n\n>Turbo Dead\n\nSwitch to Nether Farie Dragon\n\nTurn 8) Arcane Blast until Cocoon Strike hits (Usually after Sandstorm)\nTurn 9) Moonfire\nTurn 10) If below half health, use Life Exchange, otherwise Arcane Blast\n \nContinue these until dead

Here's what I used:
Zandalari Kneebiter (P/S - 2, 2, 2)
Pet Bombling (H/S - 2, 1, 2)
Servant of Demidos (P/P - 1, 1, 2)

1. Black Claw
2. Hunting Party
3. Bloodfang (Zandalari Kneebiter dies, switch to Bombling)
4. Minefield
5. Batter x 3
6. Explode (Bombling dies, switch to Servant)
7. Clean-up
8. Magic Sword

You get the idea. YMMV. Have fun!

Comment by Askevar

Hubby didn't have any of the first pets listed leveled. He used a moth as his first pet and it destroyed the first two pets.

Comment by LadyKitten

Direbeak hatchling (Swarm, ironskin, predatory strike) could solo the first two pets.

After that, switch to nexus whelping to get rid of sandstorm with Arcane Storm and Mana Surge until dead.

Comment by Kismat

I used Iron Starlette (1, 1, 1), a low level pet to get some experience and Sprite Darter Hatchling (2, 1, 1) for this...worked first time. Credit to Phacoid from Xu-Fu Pet Battle Strategy Guide for this strategy.

Comment by Ankhet

Pets:
Adder (1, 1, 1)
Clockwork Gnome (1, 1, 1)
Arcane Eye (2, 2, 2)

Comment by saillaw

The following spoiler tag contains the rematch code, with fight instructions for this fight. It uses the following pets:

Iron Starlette, and

Sprite Darter Hatchling

The level pet can be level 1.

This strategy came from Phacoid on Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies.

If you don't know how to use the Rematch addon have a look at the Wowhead guide I wrote, which also includes the Rematch code for this and all BGA Pet Battle World quests (so you can import all the teams and fights at once rather than one at a time).

Comment by cephadex

If you've not done this one before, you might think that the pet battle takes place near the flightmaster at Atal'dazar-- however, the actual place is all the way down the hill from there.

Comment by pockafwye

Kun-Lai Runt - Mangle, Thrash, Rampage
Dream Whelpling - Emerald Bite, Emerald Presence, Healing Flame
Carry pet

I swapped in the carry pet for one round when the runt died. The carry pet took a Black Claw from Turbo which was a bonus because it did no real harm

Comment by Premach

Best flight point for Alliance is Mugamba Overlook. Head down the hill, across the water, and turn right at the road. Follow the road straight to Talia Sparkbrow.

Comment by MissApril

My team:
Anubisath Idol
Frosty
Rocket Chicken

Comment by Chrisj1964

After trying many different combinations, I found that the best team that works for {Hobbyist Aquarist} Achievement is:

Inky (1, 1, 2)
Moonshell Crab (1, 1, 2)
Tiny Blue Carp (2, 1, 2)

1. Start with Inky's Bubble
2. Dive
3. Tentacle Slap (until Eighty Eight is dead)
4. If Inky is still alive, Bubble
5. Dive
6. Tentacle Slap (until Turbo or Inky is dead)
7. Bring in Moonshell Crab
8. Shell Shield if above half life, if not Moon Tears
9. Bring in Tiny Blue Carp
10. Mana Surge (Lasts three rounds)
11. Healing Stream
12. Psychic Blast
13. Mana Surge or Psychic Blast until Whiplash is dead

As I spent a lot of time trying to fight with an all aquatic team for the achievement, I did my best to remember the attacks I used to bring down Talia Sparkbrow's team since I did not keep exact track. However, the steps I listed are close to what I did.

This Aquatic team and the attacks used are still up to RNG as it took me two tries with this combo of pets and attacks, especially since Whiplash's attacks are strong against Aquatic.

Comment by lizziethedame

I did this with Curious Wolvar pet and Tranquil Mechanical yeti. Used the wolvar strongest abilities against critter, beast, critter, and used the Yeti's full strong against beast attacks. Wolvar takes out the critter no problem between 1 and 3, then thrown down 2 at the end so the traps are still out for beast next. used wolvar until he died, switched to yeti, between lightning storm and punching beast went down fast, then had plenty of power left against the flying one who got trapped in a couple of wolvar's traps. Had my Lil Tarecgosa too just in case flying didn't go down before my yeti did.

Comment by ranzalduam

You will face a Critter, Beast and Flying pet team. Go with Beast vs the Critter (I chose Frostwolf pup), Mech vs the Beast (I used Mini Thor) and Dragonkin vs the Flying pet (I chose Emmigosa)

Comment by SciofSoA

Alliance, approach from Mugamba Overlook for your own sanity. Veiled Grotto may look closer but with the huge ledge you have to traverse it is a headache. Once we get flight Veiled Grotto will actually be the closest instead of the tease it currently is.

Comment by Kupotek

I destroyed this fight using:

Warning Squak then Swarm
Put down a couple turrets
Emerald Bite

Comment by Ankhet

Thanks to greenmagex's comment for helping me get this one:

Alpine Foxling (1,2,1)
Darkmoon Zeppelin (1,1,1) or (1,1,2)
Onyxian Whelpling (1,1,2)

Comment by Lucilite

For Beast Mode, I tried using an Albino River Calf (Bite, Stoneskin, Headbutt), River Calf (Water Jet, Takedown, Clobber), and Zandalari Anklerender (Hunting Party, Leap, Black Claw). I didn't write down or repeatedly test a strategy, I just improvised, but I won on my first try.

The one bit of strategy I'll tell is that while figthing her 2nd pet, Turbo, she swapped it for her 3rd pet, Whiplash. At that point I swapped for the River Calf that was using all non-beast attacks, since Whiplash flying therefore resistant to beast attacks. Other than that swap I just used my pets in the order listed above until they died or won.

For Magician's Secrets, I used Abyssius (Crush, Scorched Earth, Meteor Strike), Enchanted Pen (Quills, Evanescence, Forboding Curse), and Lunar Lantern (Beam, Flash, Light).

For Not Quite Dead Yet, I used Risen Saber Kitten (Pounce, Rake, Prowl), Cursed Birman (Spirit Claws, Spirit Spikes, Devour), and Fragment of Anger (Spiritfire Bolt, Spiritfire Beam, Soulrush).
Fragment of Desire could also substitute for Fragment of Anger.

Comment by foxla

Zandalari Anklerender, Sunreaver Micro-Sentry, Crimson Whelpling.

Zandalari Anklerender:
Leap
Hunting Party
This finished the first pet, although I wished I'd been able to Devour to get back some health.
Leap on second pet; if Zandalari Anklerender doesn't die at this point, Hunting Party.

Sunreaver Micro-Sentry:
Call Lightning
Haywire
Laser
This finished the second pet.

Crimson Whelpling:
I did Lift-Off and it was blocked by cocoon. A better strategy would be to Tail Sweep until Cocoon is out of the way.
Tail Sweep
Healing Flame
Lift-Off
Spam Tail Sweep until the third pet dies!

Comment by anexxia

I solo'd the first two with Foulfeather (Black Claw, Flock) then cleaned up with Nexus Whelpling (Arcane Storm, Mana Surge)

Comment by thulsadoom

For magician's secrets, i used

25 rare mini mindslayer (2,1,2)
25 rare extinguished eye (1,1,2)
25 rare arcane eye (2,2,2)

Worked first try.

open with mindslayer. cast amplify magic, mana surge. mindslayer dies. swap to extinguished eye. Focused beams. eighty eight dies.
enter turbo. cast eyeblast, focused beams until turbo dies. if you get a chance, use dark rebirth when low on HP (under 300hp).
enter whiplash. eye soaks sandstorm and dies. swap to arcane eye. Drain power, mana surge, psychic blast, drain power. Whiplash dies.

it was really close the second time. eye ended with 50 health.

Comment by Uroshnor

For Family Battler/Human Resources:

Whomper H/S (2,2,2)
Crusher H/H (2,1,2)
Anubisath Idol H/H (1,1,1)

I can't say whether the breeds matter or how much RNG affects this as it worked the first time for me. Note that my use of Crusher vs. Whiplash was not necessarily optimal. Also, Whomper & Crusher two-pet this, didn't need to bring in Idol.

Whomper:
R01 Cute Face
R02 Rampage
R03 Rampage continues
R04 Rampage continues, Eighty Eight dies
R05 Cute Face
R06 Punch
R07 Punch
R08 Rampage
R09 Rampage continues
R10 Rampage continues
R11 Punch, Turbo dies
R12 Whomper dies, bring in Crusher

Crusher:
R13 Shell Armor
R14 Demolish (blocked by Whiplash)
R15 Demolish
R16 Crush
R17 Crush (blocked by Whiplash)
R18 Demolish
R19 Crush
R20 Demolish
R21 Crush (blocked by Whiplash)
R22 Crush, Whiplash dies

Enemy team consists of:

Critter, (countered by Beast/Mechanical),
Beast, (countered by Mechanical/Flying)
Flying. (countered by Magic/Flying)

OBS: Direbeak Hatchling (2, 2, 2) easily can solo the first two pets..
