Mini pet add-ons?

Unread post by Shade »

Are there any battle pet add ons around?

Specifically I am looking for one that will let me know if I have that species of battle pet or not already on mouse over in their name plate or while in battle.

I like using "battle pet - Quality notifier", which lets me know at the start of the battle what quality the wild pets are. As for whether or not to know if I have those pets, I just click the mount/pet icon and make use of the search feature, which lets me see if I have the pet, what level it is, and its quality :P And it can be checked while in battle :)

I use Batrtender 4 right now, so I don't get that actionbar in my set up.

But the BattlePetCount seems to be working really well. It lets me know on mouseover what quality BP I am looking at and while in combat it lets me know if I already have the pet, or if it is an upgrade from what I do own.

I use Pet Theory. It shows the rarity of each pet in battle, as well as in your journal. It also tells you the stats of each pet just by mousing over them, and tells you if you've already collected and what quality you already have when you mouse over a pet on your mini map. And it adds more filters to your journal for easier organization.

Decided to test out those other addons and I really like the combination of BattlePetCount and PetTheory. And that I can actually see the quality of my non-wild caught pet as well is really nice!
Now to catch 'em all!!!

Let it be known that, at least for me, PetTheory doesn't like RandomCompanion. I tried to scroll my pet journal and it gets really angry, gives me an error, and won't scroll properly.

For me PetTheory alone wouldn't show me if I have the pet on minimap and mouseover thumbnails for some reason, so I combined it with PetBattleCounter. They work together flawlessly.

There's also a thing called PokemonTrainer, but I think it's a bit to much, like a healbot. I just backpaddled from them both as soon as I had an inside look.
