Many non-Capture pets are becoming rare

Blizzard has decided to make many of the harder-to-get collectable pets rare quality, which means they get a nice stat boost for those wanting to use them in pet battles.  And the list is a pretty impressive one that they included.

We made the call to convert a number of non-capture pets into rare quality pets.  We made this decision for a couple reasons.  First off, we know that many folks are going to want to use some of their current pets in pet battles.  We don’t want players to feel like these pets are weaker than the others.  At the same time, we don’t want to make every single non-capture pet into a rare.

We decided which pets to change based on how difficult they are to obtain.  This approach makes sense since it means that more time was put into getting these particular pets than other ones.  This fits in with how you obtain a rare through the pet battle system; more time to seek out pets and fight them, hoping for a rare.

We know that we are not going to be able to please everyone, but this list is just a start and I’m sure we will make many updates between now and launch.  Look it over and feel free to leave us your feedback.  Thanks!

Some of the included pets are rare drops, quest rewards and collector edition pets.  Here is the entire list!  One interesting thing is they included Darkmoon Balloon, so does that mean we will see balloon pets being used for pet battle at a later date?  Currently all of them are noted in the pet journal as being a non-battle pet.
