"Rare" Combinations for Family Familiar--Now with 7.1 pets!
Posted: October 20th, 2016, 1:44 pm
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 – 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)

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!)

It's definitely a good choice for a lot of people! Might put that in my original post as an option/suggestion.
