This amazing website lets you sort pet families with attack types, so I decided to compile a list for Family Familiar attack types for easy access. If there are ten or fewer options in a family, I listed them. Plenty of Beasts have Critter attacks, etc, so if there's a lot of 'em, you probably already know some options. I went ahead and made some notes on pets with identical movesets and the like. Hope this helps! I'll make some formatting changes and put in links a bit.
Aquatic
Dragonkin – Purple Puffer, Tiny Red Carp
Elemental – Gahz’rooki, Mr. Chilly, Pengu, Puddle Terror, Spawn of G’nathus, Tideskipper, Tundra Penguin
Flying – Mr. Chilly, Pengu, Tundra Penguin (these three have identical abilities)
Humanoid – Puddle Terror, Tideskipper, Young Mutant Warturtle
Magic – Emerald Turtle, Ghostshell Crab, Moonshell Crab, Tiny Blue Carp
Mechanical – Hydraling

Beast
Aquatic – Albino River Cal, Bucktooth Flapper, Celestial Calf, Flat-Tooth Calf, Mudback Calf, Periwinkle Calf, River Calf, Spiketail Beaver, Sumprush Rodent
Dragonkin – Ash’ana, Celestial Calf, Cinder Pup, Clouded Hedgehog, Dreadmaw, Silent Hedgehog
Flying – Dreadmaw, Lurking Owl Kitten, Silithid Hatchling, Tito, Wind Rider Cub (note: Dreadmaw's attack is Glowing Toxic which does not get an attack type bonus)

Mechanical – None!
Critter
Aquatic – Mudshell Conch, Rapana Whelk, Rusty Snail, Scooter the Snail, Shimmershell Snail, Silkbead Snail (so all snails sans Zoom)
Dragonkin – Fire Beetle, Lava Beetle, Malayan Quillrat, Malayan Quillrat Pup, Porcupette, Wolpertinger (the beetles and quillrats/porcupettes have identical abilities)
Elemental – Crispin, Fire Beetle, Imperial Silkworm, Lava Beetle, Zoom
Magic – Baneling, Mudshell Conch, Nether Roach, Nibbles, Rapana Whelk, Rusty Snail, Scooter the Snail, Shimmershell Snail, Silkbead Snail, Zergling (the Nether Roach is the only non-snail and non-collector’s edition pet in this category!)
Mechanical – None!
Dragonkin
Aquatic – Dream Whelping (doesn’t really count—the move is Toxic Skin)
Humanoid – Albino Chimeraling, Dark Whelping, Death Talon Whelpguard, Lil’ Deathwing, Nightmare Whelping, Soul of the Aspects (Albino Chimeraling and Dark Whelping have identical movesets)
Mechanical – Stormborne Whelping, Thundering Serpent Hatchling, Wild Golden Hatchling, Wild Jade Hatchling (all of these are Call Lightening and only the Stormborne Whelping has a unique moveset—it’s also probably the easiest get as it’s the only one that requires neither rep nor the BMAH!) **
Undead – None!
Elemental
Critter – Core Hound Pup, Jade Tentacle, Ruby Sapling, Tainted Waveling, Teldrassil Sproutling, Withers

Igneous Flaming is not available until next Midsummer Festival, but it will eventually be in this category)
Mechanical – Grinder, Lumpy, Pebble, Tiny Twister (Grinder, Lumpy, and Pebble all have Quake, and I highly recommend them against Beast heavy teams)
Undead – Amethyst Shale Hatchling, Crimson Shale Hatchling, Emerald Shale Hatchling, Droplet of Y’Shaarj, Gooey Sha-ling, Ruby Droplet, Tiny Shale Hatchling, Topaz Shale Hatchling (all Shale Hatchlings have identical movesets)
Flying
Aquatic – Azure Crane Chick
Humanoid – Crow, Dread Hatchling, Fledgling Warden Owl, Gilnean Raven, Long-Eared Owl, Nightwatch Swooper, Northern Hawk Owl, Sky Fry (Fledgling Warden Owl/Long-Eared Owl/Nightwatch Swooper/Northern Hawk Owl have identical movesets. Sky Fry is the only Flying pet whose Humanoid move isn’t Darkness)
Humanoid
Aquatic – Crusher, Curious Oracle Hatchling, Murky, Ore Eater, Terky (Gurky/Lurky, only available in EU. Luckily, they share identical movesets with Murky and Terky) **

Magic – Lil’ Bling, Race MiniZep, Rascal-Bot, Stonegrinder, Sunreaver Micro-Sentry, Runeforged Servitor (Servitor's only Magic move is its shield)
Undead – Rabid Nut Varmint 5000
Undead
Aquatic – Blightbreath, Spirit Crab, Zomstrok (Bligthbreath's one Aquatic move is Acid Rain, so it doesn't hit hard and it has a three round cooldown, but this is only the second pet to have the Dreadful Breath/Acid Rain combo all-in-one, which is nice!)
Critter – Blighted Squirrel, Frostwolf Ghostpup, Ghastly Kid, Ghastly Rat, Ghost Maggot, Infected Fawn, Infected Squirrel, Stitched Pup

Re: "Rare" Combinations for Family Familiar
You can filter families and abilities easily in the wonderful, wonderful, wun-dah-full addon Rematch as well.
It certainly helped me pick ringers for Familiar teams.

Re: "Rare" Combinations for Family Familiar
Oh my Light thanks for that.
I've known the background of that, but never really thought that one can have enough patience to find them all, even using the filters! ❤
However, sometimes [url=http://www.warcraftpets.com/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16235]the filter is a bit bugged[/url], what you seem to have noticed.
Not really related to Family Familiar, but for people wanting to have everything at one place:

Good luck in finding other combinations.

Re: "Rare" Combinations for Family Familiar
I have not enjoyed Rematch lately. Super great tool, but the formatting of it is annoying (imo). I'm picky, though. It's definitely a good choice for a lot of people! Might put that in my original post as an option/suggestion.Gráinne wrote:You can filter families and abilities easily in the wonderful, wonderful, wun-dah-full addon Rematch as well.

Glad you think it's a good idea! I was a little worried people would think it's redundant, but I thought that having it all at a glance might be nice, and *at least* having notes about what pets have identical moves would be handy. And you're not intrusive. More information is good!Paladance wrote:Oh my Light thanks for that.

Re: "Rare" Combinations for Family Familiar
So all right.
It's difficult to manage such amount of quoting from a mobile phone, but you seem to have typed a wrong family attack while mentioning Death Talon Whelpguard or Dark Whelpling in the Dragonkin roster.
I wish I could help more ATM. But you can paste Flying/Mech from resource if you don't find it too boring.

You are correct! That was meant to be for Humanoid moves. Fixed.Paladance wrote:So all right.
