Every zone of Shadowlands offers four different tamer challenges that can be active world quests. Completing 14 out of those 16 awards you the achievement
Battle in the Shadowlands and the toy
Mawsworn Pet Leash.
Most of these tamers are always available to challenge, not only when their world quest is active, and you can challenge them repeatedly. You can find maps on where to find each of these tamers by visiting their specific section and hovering over the map symbol next to the coordinates.
This can be especially useful if you are aiming to complete the achievement
Family Exorcist for which you need to defeat tamers with teams made of pets from specific families only. Strategies for all those combinatins are available in the
Family Exorcist section.
Another interesting piece of information, thanks to
Valinrista#2543 for the heads-up: these world quests can be done once per character, instead of once per account, as was the case in previous expansions. This can be useful to farm pet charms at the same time as ticking off some family achievements, if you don't mind logging around a few characters.
Happy Battling!

I have over 500 lv 25 pets and in my opinion, if it is the DEV's intent is to kill this aspect of the game by making pet battles so overly complicated and frustrating, they are succeeding.

Your copied account comes across with the original 1000 pet limit, even if you have upgraded your roster to 2000 on live.
Internally, it seems that pets are held in a simple 2000-slot list, with the first pets you learned first. So when your character is copied over, the first 1000 you learned are all that are brought with you. And, of course, for a lot of us who came up the intended way, that means that we are left with the various wild pets we collected on our road to Zookeeper, and not the power-creep pets from more recent expansions.
This makes testing more a matter of trying to game the import system than of, y'know, actual testing. SOMEBODY in Blizzard needs to be told to get that working right.
Character Copy is an unusable mess for any attempt at pet testing.
The Beta testers who made these strats have used heroic measures, like caging all their tradable pets on live before copying, and then deleting pets and learning the ones from the cages on Beta.

also updating the pet journal limitation did work for me back on the 8.3 ptr, so there must be a difference between the ptr and beta accounts
what was really annoying was getting non tradable pets with certain breeds on the beta before the addons were working... when you have to capture a new one without knowing the breed and then leveling it with fights since leveling stones are buggy on the beta (edited)

The pain was in getting the best breeds of non-tradeable pets and leveling them. I took a chance and uploaded the Pet Breed ID add-on and even though WoW says it's out-of-date, it will show the pet breeds, which is a help.
What I found very strange is that, through the first 3 zones I have now levelled in beta, I have yet to see the first live battle pet to engage and/or capture. Has anybody else had the same (weird) experience?
Just dinged 60 and hope that the pet battle WQ's will work as I put a hell of a lot of work and time into getting a suitable stable of battle pets to (hopefully) contribute to some more strategies, as I am a huge fan of this site.

Edit: Mega Bite is the world quest today, but he is still not being cooperative and letting you battle him :) (edited)

1. Add this to a macro on live to grab a pet in your journal you have the mouse hovering over and it will "quick cage" it for you
/run C_PetJournal.CagePetByID(GetMouseFocus().petID)
2. Then once you have all the pets in your bag, copy the toon to beta. Once in beta with that toon, add this macro to like the 1 key and just spam it ;) all pets will be put back in the journal.

Allerdings habe ich das Gefühl, dass sich doch bereits etwas geändert hat am Spielverhalten der Haustierkämpfe.
Kann es sein, dass mehr Zufall im Spiel ist als zuvor?
Da war doch irgendwas, dass Blizzard bei "normalen" Kämpfen (PVE) wieder den Zufallsfaktor beim Schaden einführen wollte - also dass ein Schlag nicht immer den selben Schadensbetrag erzeugt, sondern um einen gewissen, zufälligen Wert variiert.
Könnte es sein, dass das nun auch bei den Haustierkämpfen so ist?
Sobald ich mir einen Testcase ausgedacht und Zeit habe werde ich anfangen nachzuforschen. (edited)
