    There are many different types of battle pets and in this guide i aim to explain each of them!!

    1. Normal/league

    This sort of pet generally has relatively equal stats (around the same strength and defence boost!
    They are sorted into leagues based upon there hp strength and defence. Your pets league can be worked out here... http://www.neopianwarcouncil.net/calculator/

    examples:
    please mail me for pets to add here for examples :)


    2. Tank

    A tank pet is generally defined as a pet that has low strength and much higher defence and hp! These pets usually fight in boost battles (more on boost later)
    examples:
    xxXNeedleXxx


    3. Noobinator

    These pets have very low hp (generally below 20) and extremely high strength boosts! These pets require alot of strategy to fight with and generally alot of np to buy set with!
    examples:
    Danger

    Boost defined:

    A boost is a point at which a pet gains a new multiplyer per icon they use!
    For example if i had 85 boost strength (2x????) then if i used a 3 icon weapon on normal attack i would do 6 damage. The points of strength between boosts mean nothing! So the only numbers that matter are (13 20 35 55 85 200 etc)


    Note!!
    If a pet has higher defence than strength it will gain a league for every boost it is above starting too above. i.e. 35 strength 85 boost would have 1 league added on but if 200 boost then 3 leagues added on!


    If anything needs adding or changing or anybody has any pet examples for me please pm or post :)

    From what hp can a pet be considered as a battledome pet? I have one which has 98hp but only "immense" strentgh and "though" defence. Oh and yes it's a lab pet.

    A pet with any hitpoints can be considered as a battledome pet, I've seen someones pet with 2hp and all it's other stats we're 100+. xD

    Maybe you could include a few good weapons that each type of pet would typically use.

    Lab pets are the best for this as opponents are quite predictable i.e you know there weapons and so dont need great defence to beat them

    ^ You forgot 125 boost. Just a heads up. Otherwise, a pretty good guide. ^_^ might want to add a weapons section - suggested weapons and prices.

    (sorry if this is considered grave digging. just trying to make a contribution to his guide. :))

    I think you should add lab rats as a type of bd pet? Very High HP - medium strength - low defense

    A lab rat isn't usually the "goal" though. It's the byproduct of year(s) of zapping and not having the funds to hand-train. No one battles in 2-p with lab rats anyways :<

    i do xD

    i think it should still be counted but w/e
    and it can be effective if u use blockers that dont require defense like RotL, Illusen's silver shield.

    Please don't gravedig.

    but a noobinator set costs a LOT as you have like 1 or 2hp. Meaning you need EXTREME DEFENSE AND HEALERS!
    Takes some skill to pull it off.

    your looking at 200mil+

    Yeah most noobinators use rainbow scorchstone as it overheals and your looking at around 30mil just for that.

    Yeh full blockers are brilliant. I beat all Defenders of Neopia with my 85 Str boost, 55 Def boost lab rat. It was a bit of luck involved too, but thoroughly worth it and a lot of fun :)

    I need more NPs to train a proper pet up.
