    There is no best team, you can form a team with pet that have movesets that can hard counter their own weakness,

    vs Aquatic: Jade Owl, only Magic pet to learn Flying moves
    vs Beast: Sorry, no Flying type exists with Mechanical attacks. So, pick a decent Flying type to take less damage, or a good Mechanical to deal more damage.
    vs Critter: Flayer Youngling is the prize all-star here, Curious Wolvar Pup is just behind him. Both are Humanoid with Beast attacks.
    vs Dragonkin: Scourged Whelpling... I know, it sucks, it's as rare as a Minfernal, but it's the sole Undead pet with Humanoid attacks.
    vs Elemental: Any Snail-type Critter. They all learn Dive, the sole Aquatic attack in the Critter family as a whole. Plus, they are very durable, a nice counter to the typically higher damage output of Elementals.
    vs Flying: You got about a half-dozen options: Azure Whelpling, Celestial Dragon, Emerald Whelpling, Lil' Tarecgosa, Netherwhelp, Nether Faerie Dragon, Spirit of Competition, and Sprite Darter Hatchling. All of them are Dragonkin with 1 or more Magic attacks.
    vs Humanoid: Any Spider or Maggot of the Beast families. They each get one Undead attack. I like a Spider with Brittle Webbing in their build too.
    vs Magic: Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling is the only Mechanical to get a Dragonkin attack. Definitely worth getting.
    vs Mechanical: Pick an Elemental. ANY Elemental pet. They are a flat hard counter out of the box. Lil' Ragnaros is a nice powerhouse for that job (over a 350 Attack at Level 25), and learns Lava Wave, which is like the Aquatic Tidal Wave attack, in that it destroys turrets, bombs, etc. but it is Elemental-type instead.
    vs Undead: Pick a Turtle from the Aquatic types, and use Powerball. The Wanderer's Festival Hatchling is the only turtle to NOT learn Powerball.

    There is always some exceptions when it comes to tamer battles, but this covers a generally good list to aim for. Afterwords, you can start leveling some special case ones.

    And don't expect to stomp every single tamer with 3-5 pets. Once you start facing off with the Epic and Legendary teams in Pandaria, it can get rough.

    As it stands, I got 11 pets at 25 right now.

    Celestial Dragon, Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling, Jade Owl, Scourged Whelpling, Flayer Youngling, Spiny Terrapin, Crystal Spider, Netherwhelp, Lil' Ragnaros, Guardian Cub, Rusty Snail.

    But read these thread for battle pet advice :

    Snorlax, Gengar, Gyarados, and Magnezone. Good type coverage there in that foursome of magnificent bastards.
