Very easy with the power of Chitterspine Skitterling Nov 21 2020 Update: Because of the changes to pet battles in pre-patch, the strategy needed to be slightly adjusted. It still works without RNG as long as Bucky doesn't crit your first pet with either of his Void Gates.

Octopode Fry has replaced the Abyssal Slitherling to use Acid Touch instead of Water Jet. The Slitherling was not surviving anymore to eat the Void Gate, so we bring in the Magical Crawdad to eat it and set up Whirlpool. 2. To make sure you don't need to start & forfeit fights to lose health and have pets 2 & 3 swap properly, and to get the most out of the Acid Touch damage, the Swamp Croaker has been swapped for the Skitterling. 3. Slot 1 has remained the same, but a health restriction was placed on to make sure we have a pet survive if the Skitterling is crit.		2	0.0	0	67 1:07	7

I don't think it works anymore, Fen Crab dies before casting Blood in the water without getting any crit.

Awesome strat, worked on the first try, didn't even need the third aquatic pet.

Just make sure your Fen Crab is PP like the guide says, HH can't do enough damage.

Cette strat a bien fonctionné dès lors que mes mascottes ont critiques.
Sans crit, j'ai dû mettre une loutre en first pet. Avec afflux au tour 1. Avec ça je l'ai tombé au tour 9 comme convenu
