HOW TO WIN A BATTLE AGAINST TALON
The short answer to what you need to win a battle is a pet that has begun training it's stats and is equipped with two Leaf Swords as weapons, or any similarly strong weapons within an affordable price range. You can also add two Kirin Horn Wands to be used later when you battle tough opponents and need to heal your pet. Of course there are a few different weapons and healing items to pick and choose from but these are good enough to start and are affordable to begin with until you need more.
To beat Talon your pet must have 11 health points and a point each for speed and strength. Talon will attack with ten damage points at the beginning but his damage gradually increases the more times you beat him, as well as his health points, so make sure to keep training your pet's strength and speed so your damage increases too. If you're training a new battle pet train the level up to five, health up to 11 and you can battle. After that train all your stats up to ten, then train them all evenly up to 20 until increasing your level and training more!
HOW TO WIN A BATTLE AGAINST THE EASY OPPONENTS
Before you are able to battle the weakest battle opponent (Appy Trading Card)
your pet must have at least four health points and be able to attack for five damage points.
This is easily achieved with two basic weapons and by having your pet's health stat up to four points and both strength and speed stats up to two points each. How to train your pet is covered shortly. You win the battle when your opponent's health points are reduced to zero and your pet still has health points remaining. This simple battle will only take one round. I recommend the Leaf Sword for a good starter weapon:
