Tutoring Guide:
There are a lot of BD pets for sale. If you self train one though you will learn the most about the process and you will actually see the improvements in the BD.
I recommend reading every article here: TDN Battledome Articles I know its a lot but read all of that. It will all help you.
Species Specifics:
Species specific weapons/armor plays a big role. Pteri's are 40% resistant to Air Icons.
I would recommend a Lupe though that way you can get and use the Ancient Lupe Wand, the cheapest 100% freezer available. Definitely a huge advantage.

Commonly Asked Questions:
You may ask should I train up a bunch of levels, then train up a bunch of stats, or should I max out all stats before moving on to the next level?
Max out HP, Strength, AND Defense then level up. RE's, Faerie Quests, and all that helps save cost of training. Do you have a preference in time/cost?
If not I recommend the Mystery Island Training School then, set an alarm in you cell phone for when training is ending, get on and start training again. Train, train, train, train, and train this way and your pet will grow stronger very quickly.
I'd recommend stocking up on Codestones, ESPECIALLY if you get a good deal on a whole bunch of them. Trading Post, Key Quest, and User Shops. Get about 40-50 of each so that you can train for awhile and not have to worry about it. Then look at your budget and find a good set for your price range. I have an entire guide designed for just that alone. You can get to it through my signature.
Your best bet is to set alarms in your cell phone for when training is ending, that way even if you are sleeping you can still wake up for a few minutes to set your training stuff then go back to bed. Speed training in its cheapest form.
Don't forget that HP can be trained at the Mystery Island Training School 3x your current level + 3. So if you are Level 10 you can train your HP to 30 + 3 = HP: 33.
Q: Will battling everyday help my pet get better?
Battling every day isn't going to actually gain you anything other than experience in how the Battledome functions.
Q: When Should I start battling my pet?
Wait until you have all your stats you are training to where they stop saying stuff like Strong, Godly, and start showing numbers (21), (24), ect... Then PM me and I will help you from that point. Okay?
Q: Are Faerie Abilities important to level up?
Another thing I am going to make a point of saying now so that I don't forget about it later is that your Faerie Abilities can be leveled up but leveling them does nothing so don't waste your time attempting to get them higher. Burrow level 1 is every bit as effective as Burrow level 10, there is no difference at all. This was a part of a site feature and Battledome update that TNT never got around to completing. If ever they do update I will be sure to post about it and let everyone know.
Recommended start up guide for the Mystery Island Training School.
I recommend building your stats as follows:
Level 10
HP: 20
Strength: 20
Defense: 20
Then Level once and max to your new limits:
Level 11
HP: 22
Strength: 22
Defense: 22
Level 63
HP: 125
Strength: 125
Defense: 125
(Once your pet has reached these stats contact me and I will help you mold your pets build depending on whether you are wanting to focus on 1P Battledome or 2P as there are a bunch of different builds available)
Continue this pattern until your pet has the following stats, you will need to stop training Strength at 125:
Level 100
HP: 288
Strength: 125
Defense: 200
This will have you with a League 9 max pet. Since Neopoints shouldn't be an issue you should get some Armoured Neggs and use those to supplement your defense training. This will help you reach 200 Defense after just a short time.
ALTERNATIVELY (If you are really focusing on 2P):
You can train your stats to meet the following criteria:
Level: 58
HP: 176
Strength: 85
Defense: 125
