Guide awaiting review
Travel to Northern Barrens
Head to Northern Barrens on Kalimdor and look for Plainsland Cheetahs resting under trees — Cheetah Cubs can spawn alongside these level 12 adult cheetahs.
Manage adult cheetah spawns
If a Plainsland Cheetah has a cub with her, battle the cub and leave the adult alive — the same adult will spawn a new cub within 3 to 5 minutes. If an adult has no cub after multiple passes, kill her, as her replacement may spawn with a cub.
Battle and catch rare cub
Skip any non-rare Cheetah Cubs and move on to the next spawn, returning to adults that are still alive so they can produce a fresh cub — rare quality Cubs can take several hours of cycling spawns to find.
Tips
The Cheetah Cub's only available breed is S/S, reaching 390 speed at level 25 rare — pair Prowl with Pounce to take full advantage of this.
