Just in time before Patch 9.1, I'm happy to bring you a fresh new feature: bespoke pet tooltips and pages!
Gone are the wowhead tooltips and instead you'll find Xu-Fu's very own everywhere there are pets, like here:
Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen,
Anubisath Idol,
Kunchong Hatchling.
Why, you might ask? To bring you a more convenient browsing experience! In those tooltips you see some of the most important information right there: abilities, if it can be caged, stats, available breeds, and maybe most importantly if you own it or not! That is, if you are logged in and have your collection imported.
Click on a pet and you will open it's dedicated page that gives you even more information. Check out the
Stats for some advanced breakdowns like how often which ability is used in strategies, how many players own which specific breed, or how many people own the pet two or three times! You will also find a handy list of similar pets sharing abilities.
I'm most excited for the "
About" section, though. This is where I hope that crowd intelligence will come into play.
Every registered user can edit this section using Xu-Fu's article editor. If you think you have something valuable to add, please feel free to edit the sections :-)
I will add the 9.1 pets as soon as possible and hope that this new addition will make Xu-Fu an even better resource of information for all pet battlers in the world!

Or you can use this as well, does the same thing: https://www.wow-petguide.com/Collection
As to a list of all pets without a user collection to it, I have that on my todo's for a while now. With the pet pages done, I think this is much more realistic to accomplish now. But I haven't even started work on it. That'll take a while!

Under "Strategies" Tab for specific pets: Show breeds of pet (if one is required) for the strategy from this screen without having to go into the individual strategies.
Under "About" Tab for specific pets: I love the little statistics you have placed on the left side. I would love if it had most popular breeds (based on strategies maybe? Or user voted?).

Listing the breed requirement in the table *might* be possible. I'm very conscious of load times and right now I got it to a nice place where even with 500+ strategies the pet page loads decently fast. If grabbing the breed requirements means crawling through each strategy individually, it might not work out, but I'll give it a try! Perhaps it can be done more easily than I am thinking right now.
Most popular breed is SUPER difficult. I added data on that in the Stats but am a bit reluctant to make it more prominent. Reason is that despite my own estimate, even with the dataset I have (coming from pet battle enthusiasts only), that data shows most people don't care about breeds. For example if you look at https://www.wow-petguide.com/Pet/158685/Crimson_Skipper/Stats - which is listed as a Tier 1 PvP pet in P/S breed, the actual breed distribution is almost exactly 50/50 between P/S and S/S.
For other pets it's a bit more visible but it's still pretty hard to figure out "the" best breed. Or even the most recommendable. Could even be different ones depending on PvE or PvP.
My conclusion for that was to add the stats for advanced users to figure it out, and leave it open to pet battlers to add information in the About section if they think a specific breed is the most useful (anyone can edit those sections, like a wiki). On top of the existing guides that give some information on most useful pets and their breeds.
Hope that helps!
