I battle both 1p and 2p, and with 3 different stat level pets here they are:

Captain_beatd0wn - Fights by boost and 1p
Kacheek
55 Strength Boost
20 Defense Boost
350 HP

The_L0st_battler - Training stats evenly hopeing to eventually have 700 boosts
Jetsam
125 Strength Boost
85 Defense Boost (Training to 125)
131 HP

T0tschlager - Training to league 5
Lupe
35 Strength Boost
55 Defense Boost
74 HP

I am looking to upgrade my sets for these pets with about 5-10mil.

My current weapons are:

Other weapons in my SDB for 1p:

My options are:
Upgrade MoMM to Sleep Ray
Buy Faerie Tabard
Buy Pirate Captains Hat + other percentage blockers/reflectors for 1p (UBoGJ)
Save For Rainbow Scorchstone for League fights

What I can't decide is if PCH or FTab is better than Thick Smoke Bomb for 2p. FTab can block Slum Potion (pretty rare at my level), while a well placed PCH can block a large portion of Ghostkerbomb.

Also does anyone have any ideas on what I can place in the freezer slot when people ask for no freeze battles? I was currently thinking about just throwing a Downsize! in there, but there has to be something better.

Finally what species should I morph my pets to. It is pretty much between Pteri and Scorchio. Pteris air resistance is nice against PCC or GSword giving me an edge if we both use our main constants. Scorchios fire and earth resistance is nice against Ghostkerbomb, while still having a 10% air resistance for PCC/GSword.

EDIT: Weapons removed, thanks for the advise guys

If you have defense, F-Tab fares almost as well as PCH against GBomb, blocking 5 fire, 5 physical and 3 earth, contrasted to the 10+ earth and 5 fire that PCH blocks in that case. Either of those comes out about as well as Downsize! against the G-Bomb - which is to say about half as well as your TSB when you can predict the opponent correctly.

No-freeze is either neopians who legitimately can't afford a freezer, or overly defensive tanks pets. I would suggest swapping in a switchup/penetrator weapon such as your P-Pot, Steaming Skeem Potion, Pike Pike, Ruby Elixir, Skeletal Fire Gun or Portable Kiln

Also consider the power of their species abilities: Pteri with 4-6 icons and Scorchio with 2 icons. And over the resistances, i'd much ratehr have a 50% healer when i'm at 131hp

I'd go short sleeved yellow tunic over rainbow scorchstone for league fights, specially since you can have your defence one boost higher than your strength for "free" in leagues. This option may leave you open to weapons such as Steaming Skeem Potion, though. And, there's also the overhealing issue

Thats a good point on the PCH vs FTab vs TSB. I'll probably end up just upgrading the freezer, then eventually getting PCH + UBoGJ + FZap for 1p.

Hopefully TNT releases a new full air blocker. I don't want to spend 13mil+ on one

I don't really like SSYT for leagues since it doesn't overheal and it will only block a max of 2 icons from either a SoS or a Kiln. And if they only have 13 iconers or lower, ill have 2x 18 iconers to just out damage them.
