Is there any way to save pet battle teams?

I’m not sure if I’m missing something or if they still don’t have this option, but is there a way to save 3 pets into a team at a time?

The Rematch add-on. It’s something any serious pet battler should have.

Rematch is amazing. It remembers all your teams, allows you to filter your pets, keeps a queue for levelling, and more.

Every pet battler NEEDS

  • Rematch
  • Battle Pet Breed ID
  • Pet Tracker

There are others that you might want to look up later, but get those three NAOW! :smiley:

I love rematch. Not only set up your teams, but once you set up teams against various opponents (like those daily and weekly quest NPCs), all you do is click and load.

Plus the leveling queue is great…I have it set to dynamic leveling, so it always picks the lowest level pet in the queue first, so you’re not stuck with the same leveler over several battles. Makes it a bit more interesting while grinding pet levels.

While Rematch is so much more than just a team saver, and over all probably my number one addon, I’ve always wondered if Pet Battles would have been more popular if there was just a basic team save mechanic built in along with a way to track and explain the whole breed system.

Blizzard hasn’t needed to invest developer time in helpful player aids for years. They instead provide API’s that allow outsiders to safely develop add-ons. For free.

And then, if the addon capability is popular enough, it’s reimplemented by the devs as a built-in part of the game.

Usually poorly and very inferior to the addons.

oh come, Blizzard voice chat is clearly superior to Vent , Teamspeak and Discord now:O)

Rematch for sure. If and when you get to the point where you’re going to different zones from different expansions to battle various battle tamers for either XP or Polished Pet Charms (if you’re into that sort of thing), it’s an absolute MUST to have.

One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned in this thread is saving your REMATCH pet battle teams (very important to do in case your rematch battle teams get lost or corrupted).

I can only speak from using Windows 10, but it goes like this:
Go to your primary drive Local Disc (C:) and open the folder Program files (x86), next open the World of Warcraft Folder, open retail, open WTF, open Account, open the folder that has your World of Warcraft Account name assigned to, open SavedVariables.

In your Saved Variables folder scroll through your files until you find the files named Rematch.lua and Rematch.lua.bak. The MOST important file is Rematch.lua (copying Remath.lua.bak isnt necessary because it’s just a backup of your Rematch.lua file, but I save a copy of both files anyway). And keep those files in a SAFE place (like maybe a second hard drive or a data stick) because if your addons ever get screwed up or you purchase a new PC etc. you’ll always have a saved copy of you battlepet teams on hand if you need them. And be sure to re-save the newest Rematch.lua file, each time you add or delete teams. Better to be safe than sorry. I know that doing that saved MY bacon a time or two in the past.

Rematch has a backup option in the pet battle ui, which will just print out all the text you can copy and paste into a notepad for a later import if needed. Just click the Teams button to open its drop down, then select Backup all teams.

There is also Pet Battle Scripts (formerly td Battle Pet Script) if you regularly fight pet NPC over and over for WQ or to level up pets. WOW-Petguide site has many teams with preset scripts, just copy and paste into your team. Then spam A key until the battle is over.

Drawback is there’s no convenient backup or mass import option. If your drive gets blown up, you can restore pet teams from backup but you’d need to copy script one by one. With a few hundred teams, this sucked for me. Copying WTF folder is the only way to backup the whole script
