Syd the Squid

Also one of my favorite pets to walk around with.

Squids and tentacles, i like that Blizz is throwing in some more of the freaky creatures.

Useful against Aquatic pets because of the Magic racial and Syd's aquatic abilities can benefit from Cleansing Rain that the enemy often uses, or cast your own Cleansing Rain :)

To beat him at Darkmoon, i use Anubisath Idol, keep using Crush and always use Deflection when his Whirlpool counter is down to 1, Syd should die easily this way.

I've been watching Batman: The Animated Series, and S02e23 "The Man Who Killed Batman" has a small-time wanna-be mafia guy named Sid. The goons tell him if he does well they'll give him a Mob name: Sid the Squid. :D

I know you are all going to wish me gratz because I got this pet on my first successful fight. Total failed attempts had to be at least 20. I had to level the right pets to get the winning combination.  I can't wait to level this puppy and try him/her out. Only started pet battling about a week ago. I'm feeling very lucky and wish to you all the same luck.

For the Fight: First, pray to RNGesus.

Your Team:

MPD - Breath, Thunderbolt, Decoy

DMZ - Missile, Bombing Run, Decoy

DMT - Missile, Shoch & Awe, Ion Cannon

MPD - Hit with Breath, drop a Decoy to block Whirlpool, spam Breath until Syd's dead. Swap to DMZ.

DMZ - Drop a Decoy, throw a Bomb, spam Missile until Pointy dies. Bring back MPD.

MPD - Drop a Decoy, swap to DMT.

DMT - Missile/Shock Otto down to ~1000HP, then Ion Cannon FTW.

Syd is very useful for cleaning up Decoys, blocking, and setting up aquatic damage to do an extra 25% more damage. Flurry (unless I am mistaken) is the only attack that doesn't just stop once it hits a block so you can lose your shield really fast against a rabbit or fjord worg. While he isn't big on damage he does have allot of utility in certain groups. He can clear the way through defenses and take on elementals fairly easily. I wish he would mind control other players....

In my opinion a perfect pet to stop the healing teams. they are all elemental so they will hate the tidal wave. also you are able to counter their sunny day with its own water animation. adding bubble for two attacks blocked is just perfect.

Just got Syd today

Wild Jade Hatchling; Tail Sweep x 2, Lift off, TailSweep X 2 Syd's dead.  Mr Pointy, might get off Call Lightning w/ Mr. Pointy may not

Cogblade Raptor.  Pop Repair immediately, Batter til Raptor dies.  May survive until Otto pops, may not.

Kunlai Runt.  Frost Shock , Deep Freeze, Thrash waiting for cool downs on Frost Shock and Deep Freeze.

Finally got syd to drop. Then forgot about him when I swapped toons. Had a small panic attack when I could not find him in my list. Did a face plam, swapped back and added him. 

Finally got him! The team I used is Darkmoon Tonk (H/P), Graves (H/P), & Kun Lai Runt (P/B). 

I got him today. He is the coolest looking pet. He defeated Erris's pets (Moon, Mouthy, and Carl) all by himself with tidal wave, whirlpool, and the healing spell. 

To beat this pet's team as the NPC in Darkmoon Faire, I use Clockwork Gnome with Turret, Darkmoon Tonk with Minefield kept up between pets, and the third slot can be used to level a pet.

I got very lucky with Syd, I got him out of my first bag and then again two months later. He is on my line-up constantly vs. elementals.

fought multiple times and still no Syd the Squid

I swear I have the worst luck, the toons who fought before

and after me both claimed they got one each

 .... Blizzard Hates me :'(

I got Syd on my first try, and he is a very cool looking pet. I'm thinking Syd the Squid might be a good addition to Dreadful teams. He will be able to protect/add Cleansing Rain, and add some heals/block to take some hits.

I'm going to see how Syd does tonight in PvP battles

Was not that lucky to get 1 1st dmf better luck next time !

I never have any luck when it comes to pets so I snagged this little guy off the AH last night for 19k since I knew DF was ending. I don't regret it he is so flippin cute!

I use Iron stralette to take out both of the beasts all you have to do is windup, supercharge and then windup again and you one shot any of his beast.

Then you can use any combination too take out syd since hes not that tough

I got Syd after 6 days, I'm so happy :-)

To defeat Christopher Vonfaesel's team I use

-Onyxian whepling (tail sweep, liftoff for avoiding whirlpool)

-Blue Clockwork Robot (toxic smoke, sticky grenade, missile)

-Lil' Bling (make it rain, inflation, blingtron gift package)

Worked for me:

Elfing rabbit, rare speed (dodge and barrow on pools)

Mechanical pandaren Dragon.

Son of Animus is great against cow.
