If you like pet battles, but can never remember when your opponent's annoying ability comes out of cooldown so you can react to it on time, this addon is for you!
It expands the default Blizzard Pet Battle interface to show the cooldowns, and buff/debuff durations for all abilities in a pet battle, including your enemy's and even benched pets.
As a bonus, in PVP pet battles, the cooldown tracker shows you which two abilities your enemy's pets might have for each slot.
Once they use a certain ability, the addon remembers it is slotted, and tracks its cooldown normally.
PVP Note:
If both players use the exact same ability in the same round, and both pets have exactly the same speed, power, and current health for the entire round, cooldowns will still be tracked, but the addon won't narrow-down which ability your opponent has in that slot.
This is because addons can't tell from the combat log whether each pet used that ability once, or if your pet used a multi-hit ability and your opponent passed the turn.
Since most abilities deal damage, this should be a rare occurrence, even when there' a mirror-match.
Receiving the following LUA errors but I think this is no longer being mainained :(
I'll try using Zifre's version :)

I'm not planning on actively maintaining or doing anything more involved with this addon, so don't expect much in the future unless it outright breaks again.
Cheers!
In reply to zifre:
Thanks!! Working for me as well. I also use pet-tracker, and it isn't interfering (any more then it did before) with it badly.

In reply to tsaavik:
While this version definitely works, I had some problems with displaying the abilities of current battle participants (in the top central area). So I found a simple way to fix this by direct editing of the original 8.1.5 files. Anyway I also should say thanks to zifre who has found the incompatibility of new 10.0.2 API and a way to fix it. Here I use a part of his code.
1. In the file DerangementPetBattleCooldowns.lua add these lines before the section "Local function listing". As I can guess, this is a replacement of now excluded API constants. Apparently the first constant is not used in this addon, while two next are.
-- Global values
local LE_BATTLE_PET_WEATHER = 0;
local LE_BATTLE_PET_ALLY = 1;
local LE_BATTLE_PET_ENEMY = 2;
2. In the file DerangementPetBattleCooldowns.xml perform the context replacement of two aforementioned string constants with their values:
LE_BATTLE_PET_ALLY with 1
LE_BATTLE_PET_ENEMY with 2
3. (optional) In the file DerangementPetBattleCooldowns.toc replace the Interface parameter 80100 with 100002. This prevents the warning about loading of the outdated addon.
In reply to aleinus:
It worked thank you, and thank you zifre
In reply to aleinus:
I can not find the lines in the .xml metioning LE_BATTLE_PET_ALLY or LE_BATTLE_PET_ENEMY. Can you quote the number of the lines which need to be edited? Thank you!
In reply to aleinus:
Thank you for this
In reply to marixstella:
First, you need to download the original addon 8.1.5 here. Open the file DerangementPetBattleCooldowns.xml in a text editor like Notepad. Use an option "Replace" for context replacement:
LE_BATTLE_PET_ALLY replace with 1 (3 cases)
LE_BATTLE_PET_ENEMY replace with 2 (3 cases)
Or you simply can use "Replace All" option with the same result. Save the edited file to the folder where this addon is installed. Edit two other files of this addon as well. It should work now!
2nd Prepatch appears to have broken this sadly if anyone finds a fix let me know the icons no longer show up top.
In reply to Vampyrr:
Yup R.I.P :'(
For those who did what I did and disabled all out-of-date addons on the Dragonflight pre-patch, I can confirm that this still works perfectly fine.
Love this addon! Any chance of an update?
Please, pretty please with sugar on top, may we have an update for Shadowlands? Good and gentle module creator. I LOVE THIS ADDON!!!!
In reply to t3po3:
for me it works fine in the pre-patch, do you have issues with it?
any possibility to move the ui all over the place? I like seing opponents abilities bottom of my screen, please help
I have reported the problem with the windows at Elvui. Here the link: https://www.tukui.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6638
I think such a great addon should be supported. Please do not give up the addon :)

In reply to sirenwatcher:
That should put your game in a mode where a helpful tooltip shows you the name of all frames you mouse over. (/framestack 0 when you want to disable it again)
With a bit of luck, that should teach it these frames exist, and let you move them from that point on.
