Once again, I used a spreadsheet to keep track of the pets that I face in the PvP pet battle queue. I did this manually over 500 battles, so there may be a few mistakes here and there, but to the best of my knowledge the data is accurate. Here goes.

Next are the pets that did the best against me. This requires a little explanation. Overall my record was 362-133-5. This means that my opponents beat me 26.6% of the time. It was Poofah’s idea to include the ratio of each pet’s win percentage to the overall win percentage of my opponents. I called it the relative ratio for lack of a better name. This gives a better indicator of how well a pet does. For example, the Vengeful Porcupette had a 56.3 win percentage. Doesn’t sound too great, but when you compare that to the 26.6 overall win percentage with a ratio you can see that the Vengeful Porcupette is really good: 56.3/26.6=2.12, so the Vengeful Porcupette was more than twice as likely to beat me as a random pet encountered in the queue. Here are the pets that appeared at least 10 times listed in order of their win percentages:

Sheet 1 is where I kept the data, please note that some of the magic pets are listed as mechanicals (they both start with “m”, oops). On the “family data bottom” tab I used for family info I realized that something was wrong so I fixed them (hopefully all of them).
If you want to compare past data,

As far as analysis goes here are a few things that jumped out at me:
a) the drop in undead wins, but that makes sense due to the nerf. (edited)
b) valks are the most common pet again. go away.
c) the Vengeful Porcupette gave me loads of trouble, however it was often used with a tier 1 pet (mostly Bone Serpents and Wicked Souls). Still it’s impressive that it made it that high on the list.
d) the Nightshade Sproutling was almost always paired with a Bone Serpent. Great pet, but it doesn’t really belong at the top of the list in my opinion.
