Substitutes:

Note: You have selected a substitute pet.
The strategy might fail if you use it with this pet instead of the one the strategy creator intended.

The substitute finder looks for these criteria in relation to the original pet:
  • Same family
  • Has the required skills
  • Has the required stats (if specified)
  • Ignores specific breed requirements for the main pet, as breeds can be very different for substitutes

Strategy proposed by Rendigar on WarcraftPets Forum (and Classic-compatible alternative to this version with Iron Starlette). Script added.
Tested under MoP Classic.

This strategy is also excellent for:

Gorespine
Greyhoof
Nitun
Ti'un the Wanderer

Or even, if you have nothing better, for:

Kafi
Ka'wi the Gorger

Several alternative pets and breeds are possible (including using non-level 25 pets or choosing a first pet that does Sunlight: same effect on Health as Illuminate, but less damage initially), but this strategy only works well with pets that have sufficient Health (the more the better if you want them to be usable on other Beasts of Fable as well, and notably Ti'un the Wanderer). Here a list of MoP Classic pets that have Explode, and their Health (if multiple breeds, the breed with the most Health is listed), ranked from highest Health:

Blackfuse Bombling (HH: 1806 — available in phase 5)
Netherspace Abyssal (HH: 1725)
Minfernal (HH: 1725)
Pet Bombling (1628)
Darkmoon Zeppelin (1546)
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling (1400)

Low XP
At least one of the pets for this strategy require the use of a specific breed.
Not every strategy can be bullet proof. This is one of them. You might have to restart it, since there are some random elements that increase the risk of your pets failing. Don't blame them, please!
