I was out at the Isle of Thunder this morning and thought I'd collect some pets I didn't have from that zone. What I found was that the pets were all poor quality. Is that normal? I just have such a hard time collecting poor quality pets, even if it is just for the achieves. And after bailing from about 8 battles I had only seen poors and finally just gave up (plus I needed to get to work). What gives? Are all the Isle of Thunder pets poor or do they come in better qualities?

They do come in all qualities. There's only one I haven't found in Rare, so far.

Bad luck or other people leaving the poor up and not killing them while looking for others. Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure I got all of the pets there as rares from wild battles and didn't stone any of them.

Thanks guys. I must have just been on a bad streak or something. I'll keep trying for better quality ones. Typically I don't keep anything other than green or blue these days, unless it's something crazy hard to find or a super rare spawn.

Yep, RNG is just RNG. I have definitely seen and captured green and rare pets on the Isle of Thunder. Just farm in moderation. I take my BS there to make the "xx, Reborn" weapons when I have the mats, and I farm a little while am on the island. To mix it up, go and farm for the [pet]filthling[/pet] while you are on the isle. If all else fails, there is virtually nothing else you need an elemental stone for at the moment, so you could use one of those on the [pet]thundertail flapper[/pet].

Just rotten luck. I was able to upgrade all of mine to rare on Isle of Thunder via regular pet battles eventually. They exist, it just takes time sometimes.

I would also note that a lot of the Isle of Thunder pets have other pets from the isle as secondaries. So, if you are looking for a python, don't just run around looking for pythons, but battle everything you come across. Another thing too, if you didn't know this, is that starting a battle and forfeiting if you see there is not a rare will leave that non rare team there. And forfeiting and then killing the pet does a disservice as well, as going through with and finishing the battle will give you a chance at a stone, and a forfeit and kill will not.
