Diemetradon Hatchling

Battle Pet· Wrath of the Lich KingWILDPETBeast type
Pet Battle

Source: Pet Battle. Diemetradons abandon their hatchlings in Un'Goro Crater to fend for themselves. Only the strongest survive. Beast type. As mentioned in several posts here, the Diemetradon Hatchlings are linked to the Elder Diemetradons.

The Diemetradon Hatchling is a wild pet found in Un'Goro Crater that spawns linked to Elder Diemetradons, requiring a specific farming approach to reliably encounter them.

Guide awaiting review

1

Locate Elder Diemetradons

Travel to Un'Goro Crater and circle the zone checking each Elder Diemetradon for a Hatchling accompanying it. Hatchlings spawn linked to specific Elders, so each Elder has a chance to appear with one.

2

Mark Elders With Hatchlings

When an Elder Diemetradon has a Hatchling with it, mark that Elder and do not kill it at any point — you can battle the Hatchling pet without harming the Elder.

3

Kill Childless Elders

Kill all Elder Diemetradons that do not have a Hatchling present. Within roughly five minutes, those Elders will respawn and have a chance to appear with a new Hatchling, steadily increasing the number of available Hatchlings in the zone.

4

Battle and Capture

With multiple Elders now cycling Hatchling spawns, battle each Hatchling until a rare quality one appears, then capture it.

Tips

  • Killing any critters or battle pets near the Elder Diemetradons helps reduce interference with Hatchling spawns.
