I'm still working on the BFA meta-achievement Family Battler which involves beating 15 (of 19) different BFA pet trainers with a family of all undead, all mechanical etc. In total I need to win 150 different battles.
I started doing this in a completely incorrect way, focusing first on getting "Hobbyist Aquarist" then on "Beast Mode" and so on. Don't do that. Instead, just fly to a trainer and do all ten pet families on that trainer, then fly to the next one. You don't need the world quest to be up either.
I recommend skipping any fights that are especially difficult with a particular family and revisiting them at the very end if you absolutely need one more win from a trainer.
Originally, I read wowhead for every boss and tried to find the correct comp listed in the suggestions. I no longer do that - the ten PVP teams I built for Family Brawler earlier in the month work fine for almost all of the NPC trainers as well so there is little need to create completely custom teams. I still have these PVP teams saved in Rematch, so the whole process of flying to a trainer, fighting with each team and moving on to the next is simplified.
In terms of other pet battle achievements, I finally completed the "normal" version of the Westfall and Gnomergan pet dungeons. THESE QUESTS REWARD PORTALS TO THEIR LOCATIONS. I had no idea. After the horde portals were all removed, I found it tedious to get to the center of the Eastern Kingdoms but a portal straight to Westfall is just about perfect - especially because it exists in both (Legion) Dalaran AND Zandalar.
Finally, I started grinding the last two Celestial Tournament pets I need. It takes three weeks per pet so it will be six weeks before I finish. The main issue I've found here is that a lot of the guides (e.g. on wowhead) have old information that no longer applies - something that is annoying to find out halfway through a no-heal scenario.
Anyway, off to finish Family Battler, then I need to start working on the Legion variants - that means a lot more pet battles to come.
8/12/23: I finished three more Dragon Isles pet world quests for [Battle on the Dragon Isles II] - just one more to go! Next up, I have a whole bunch of trainers to do to get [An Awfully Big Adventure] - I'm going to start on this now but I have 20 more to do to get Trunks. 8/13/23: Mote Little Scales Daycare to start the day off. I'm nearing the end now - just one more whelp to go. 8/14/23: I finished all the Little Scales Daycare quests and now have [Hey Nanny, Nanny]]! 8/20/23: [Daycare Derby]! Good start to the day. 8/28/23: I started the day by doing the snail daily - just two more to go! Next, I worked on Lomen Niffen rep, trying to get 1500 for the weekly. 8/29/23: Logged in quickly before reset. I did a snail daily (one more to go!) and then defeated Adinakon in a pet battle to pick up [Battle on the Dragon Isles II]! 9/2/23: I worked on the 1500 Loamen Niffen rep for the weekly. It took a surprising number of world quests to get there. 9/3/23: I worked on Secrets of A
