You will face this enemy in the 7.2.5 Deadmines pet battle dungeon early on in Phase 2.
Recommended setup:

Emperor Crab (2 2 2)
Teroclaw Hatchling (2 2 2)

Whirlpool
Surge
Pass
Surge
Whirlpool
Healing Wave
Surge until your Crab dies

Then continue with your Teroclaw with Dodge -> Nature's Ward -> Alpha Strike

For all the other fights, here's Xu-Fu's full Deadmines challenge mode guide.
Enjoy and good luck in the dungeon!

I used an Elder Python(2/2/1) for the angry Geode.

Huge Fang > Burrow > Huge Fang > Poison Fang > Huge Fang > Poison Fang > Burrow > Huge Fang > Poison Fang.

The Elder Python should survive until the next pet but if not, finish it with your second pet.

As of writing this, the two pets for me(unsure if they are random like in WC) were two flying pets. I used a Sprite Darter Hatchling to finish off but any pet that counters flying will be fine. In the case of my Sprite Darter I just kept Evanescence and Moonfire on cooldown with Arcane Blast's in between.

Rapana Whelk (2,2,1) or any other Snail can solo. Critters are immune to the stun from Crystal Prison and their shield combined with the heal from Absorb makes it quite easy to end the fight at full HP.

The backline pets are a combination of harmless Deadmines Parrots, Deadmines Parrots or Ironclad Crabs.

I'm going out on a limb by making this claim but here it goes anyhow! Currently, it's quite possible that the best choice - for those who base best choices upon efficiency and effectiveness - is as follows:

Stage One, Foe Reaper 50, use an Amethyst and/or a Crimson Shale Hatchling . Use Stone Rush and Burn, in that order, on repeat. Welcome to Sixth-round Victory-town!

Stage Two, on Unfortunate Defias, Trashy is a far better choice than any rabbit could be due to it being far stronger. Not to mention that a Family Reunion followed by a Dumpster Dive is entirely a knock-out combination here -- if need be, quick clean up of any remaining trash can be accomplished with a Nexus Whelpling and it's tried & true Arcane Storm to Mana Surge. Against Angry Geode, a rotation with Tiny Red Carp of Whirlpool, Cleansing Rain, Pass, Water Jet, Water Jet, Water Jet will quickly lay waste here -- clean up with Nexus Whelpling Arcane Storm to Mana Surge or have a Fledgling Warden Owl or a Sharptalon Hatchling (the key is a higher-strength Battle Pet with the Savage Talon ability) in your line up so that you can switch them in and more quickly deal with Aquatic trash in case that's what spawns for your encounter.

Stage Three, the ridiculous Mining Monkey. It's best to Netherspace Abyssal , Explode and Crimson Spore , Explode. Done. Clean up with, you guessed it, Nexus Whelpling Arcane Storm to Mana Surge (or your favorite go-to choice.)

Stage Four, I agree with the strategy that other's have posted here regarding "Captain" Klutz. Unborn Val'kyr . Pass, Curse, Haunt, then Zandalari Kneebiter , Black Claw to Hunting Party for the win.

Stage Five, Klutz's Battle Rat has been well acknowledged and the Zandalari Kneebiter Black Claw to Hunting Party will promptly suffice however, I suggest cleaning up with Nexus Whelpling Arcane Storm to Mana Surge. Klutz's Battle Monkey is another easy target for Explode. Considering that Explode is based upon the maximum health of the Battle Pet which casts it, a couple possible higher-health options at this point could be Pocket Cannon and Pet Bombling . As always, clean up is made easy with a Nexus Whelpling and Arcane Storm to Mana Surge. I wonder how Klutz's Battle Bird will be won - no, just kidding, I don't - it's gonna be with the Nexus Whelping , you silly! Only this time there should be time enough to incorporate some Tail Sweeps between the Arcane Storm to Mana Surge cooldowns.

(If you only had one of these Nexus Whelplings in your current Battle Pet collection but have any inclination to battle pets via Battle Pet Pet Battles, I highly recommend getting at least a second of these Nexus Whelplings. If you had two or three upon entering Pet Battle Challenge: Deadmines, despite how much it seemed like they've been used up to this point, they should have plenty of health left even if your Nexus Whelpling inventory was poorly rotated throughout the clean-up roles in previous fights.)

Stage Six, defeating Cookie's Leftovers in or around ten rounds by using Searing Scorchling (Pass, Scorched Earth, Flame Breath, Conflagrate, then Flame Breath) and Spawn of Onyxia (Pass, Scorched Earth, Tail Sweep, then Tail Sweep) may be comparable to the more straightforward Mechanical Pandaren Hatchling method, use discretion.

As I remember a time when I had but a few Battle Pets and would look on Internet for strategies to consider for various Battle Pet Pet Battles, it was my aim here to offer some more Battle Pet options for people to choose from for running this quest! My other goal was to lend some of my expertise in getting redundant tasks done hastily to the people which are more interested in that aspect than they are in how to get through an encounter by soloing it regardless of how many rounds or how long that method may entail.

If you use the Rematch addon, here is the rematch code for all the teams with battle notes that I compiled from Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies. Thank you very much!

If you don't use Rematch, you should, it makes running this (and other pet battles) so much easier. And Xu-Fu's is full of great strategies.

To use this code, select all the text below, hit Ctrl+C to copy, then create a new tab in your pet journal by clicking on the + sign to the right of the pet journal (Call it whatever you want but I call it "Dead Mines"), and then right click the tab and select the "Import Teams" option. You can then hit Ctrl+V to paste the code in there.

From then on, whenever you select one of the battle pets in the instance a little Rematch window will come-up asking if you want to load the team for that fight, load it and also be sure to click on the little note button so you can see the notes on what to do for each turn. If you start the fight and forgot to open the notes, don't worry, you can open them again by opening your pet journal and clicking on the note icon.

Solo the whole fight with Rapana Whelk.

Keep Shell Shield up at all times and refresh when at 1 round left, use absorb as filler and Dive on CD.

Easy.

Solo with Scooter the Snail - Pet challenge using 1-1-1

SL S4

Spicing up my The Deadmines during first run:

Spawn of G'nathus as my meat shield, took out 1.5 pets using Thunderbolt, Dive, and Swallow You Whole.

Mud Jumper as secondary, Bubble, Mudslide, and Tongue Lash finished the adds easily

Dancing Water Skimmer was waiting its turn but mebbe later, lol.
