When World of Warcraft announced they’d be adding the equivalent of Pokemon, POKEMON, to the Mists of Pandaria expansion pack, I vowed, VOWED, that I wouldn’t have any part of that silly nonsense. And neither would I be following the crowds down the path of creating either monks or pandas. No, no, no! NEVER!!!
So, anyway, my panda monk Jaybbles (right) has been happily leveling her cute menagerie over the past three week. I first started off with pets inspired by my real life animals – a black cat, a chicken and a pig (Mr Wiggles) to represent Lily, the tubby, grunting dog – but quickly discovered that my beloved pets would get their arses kicked in Azeroth. Now Jaybbles has got a more exotic/deadly team with which to stomp various beasties as she sees fit. However, silly Jaybbles sometimes sends the wrong pets into the wrong battles and the fight ends with loud boohooing. What Jaybbles needs is a clear chart to show her which pet is good – and bad – against what.
There are, of course, other charts out there on the web but I found them confusing so made up my own. (click the pic for the bigger, clearer version)
(I’m not 100% happy with the column headings but they’ll do for now.)
My initial plan was that this chart would be the basis for an embroidery pattern but it’s ended up being a lot more complicated than I thought it would be, so that will have to wait for now — there are critters, horny toads and goddamn foals to beat up first!

Thank you! I love this one just for it’s simplicity. I don’t really care “WHY” something is stronger against one thing or weaker….I just want to know what kind of pet to use! My only complaint would be that it’s on a black background. I would love to print it but I just can’t bear to use all that ink! But good job. I will be bookmarking it. Oh, and I was the same as you, saying I wouldn’t ever do those stupid pet battles…haha!
