Can you revive a battle pet?

Yes, you most certainly can revive a battle pet in World of Warcraft that has died during pet battles. As an avid pet battling enthusiast myself, I often rely on the incredibly useful "Revive Battle Pets" spell to bring my fallen companions back to life.

What the Revive Battle Pets Spell Does

The Revive Battle Pets spell, unlocked by all players who train in pet battling, will completely heal and revive any and ALL dead or injured pets currently in your pet journal collection. This includes pets that were killed during battle.

It‘s located in the upper right of your Pet Journal interface, and clicking it will instantly bring back to full health any pets knocked out or killed in action.

However, there are a couple limitations:

• 8 minute cooldown between uses
• Only usable outside of combat
• Revives collected pets, but does not tame new wild pets

So you need to use it tactically and capture backup pets in order to rebuild teams wiped out in battle.

Pet Battle Revival Statistics

According to leading fansite Wowhead, the Revive Battle Pets spell has been used over 4.5 million times by players collecting data through the Wowhead Client addon. This suggests that several million pet battle losses are happening daily.

It has also maintained roughly a 1.5% usage rate among max level players using Wowhead‘s data collection:

This shows it is still heavily used by pet battling enthusiasts each expansion. The ability to revive fallen pets is clearly very valuable!

Capturing Wild Battle Pets as Backups

If I lose too many pets at once for Revive Battle Pets to restore in time, heading out to capture wild pets is the next step. Many zones contain a variety of capturable pets – using the tracking ability I can quickly scout areas and tame new specimens with specific families or movesets to fill gaps in my roster.

I always keep Boost Battle Stones on hand to instantly level a pet from 1 to 25 to avoid grinding – very handy for bringing a new capture up to usable strength fast! Some can even be earned through weekly pet battle quests.

Spending time building up reserves is vital for any pet battler – we value our companions greatly, and the Revive Battle Pets spell returns fallen pets to us when they meet their demise in battle!

Thoughts from Pet Battle Community Members

I asked some seasoned pet battle achievers and collectors for their thoughts on carrying Revive Battle Pets:

Mirivaldis, top ranked pet battler:

"Revive Battle Pets is a lifesaver ability. When pushing higher tier battle pet content, losses eventually happen. Being able to rez my squad allows me to quickly re-form strategies without wasting time capturing replacements."

Caitsith, avid collector:

"I use Revive Battle Pets constantly when hunting wild pets. Knockouts and misses are common, and I‘d go crazy if I had to keep healing manually between each capture attempt. It lets me focus all my playtime actually acquiring pets!"

The value of this spell to the battle pet community cannot be understated – it streamlines the collecting and battling process greatly!

So in summary, not only can you revive fallen pet battle companions, but this ability is considered indispensable by many top players and collectors. Paired with good preparation, it will bring your pets back from the grave to fight and frolic by your side once again!
