Largely irrelevant outside of raiding. Cats do most solo direct damage. Wolves buff your melee teammates. Gorilla and Bear for AOE tankiness.
More important while leveling is unlocking higher ranks of the pet abilities, which you have to do by taming and quickly fighting with newer pets to unlock the moves. Then you can teach them to your existing lineup and release the new pet.

Can I teach a Raptor the Boar charge? And thanks for the answers. Feels weird to be a complete newbie in WoW ^^

Boar is definitely great for leveling, with the charge. Cat is definitely just going to be straight best DPS when you don't need something to take some hits for you. Not sure if the gorillas got better, but previously thunderstomp being something ridiculous like a 45s/1min CD kinda made it not the greatest tank. And it just couldn't hold up to a multi-shot, but might be different in Forever.

You can't, there are family specific attacks and common shared abilities. Check here: Beastmaster — Hunter Pets of Classic WoW, Midnight & Forever

I still like boar better for their charge ability. While yes, cats might do more damage, in regular grinding boars are quicker mob to mob (yes that time all adds up) because of charge and also tankier with more health and defense than a cat meaning you can take on bad pulls of 2-3 without folding and just last longer until you have to heal them.

Yes after testing, arcane is better at level 25 at least.

Meh, most of it is easy as fuck until you enter some cave with constant respawns, or have to deal with a quest to kill some elite or some regular mob with 2-3 adds. I could give a shit what my pet looks like. All models in this game look like ass IMO. Youre just one out of millions bro, no one give a shit what you or your pet look like.

Sorry but in this situation a boar is getting shit on by a bear anyway. Fast respawns mean you don't have to cover a lot of ground with the rush attack and multiple enemies need something that will generate threat on all of them. Boars are great for closing distance once every 25 seconds in the Barrens, sure.

Play what you want bro. 75% of all your grinding will be in open like barrens, mob to mob. So charge will make a difference. even if its 1-3 seconds less per mob. Over 100 mobs thats minutes saved. Ive leveled 3 huntards in classic since 2019 and other classic seasonal servers since to 60. So im not some noob here.

Boar charge is a very nice QOL for leveling IMO , i would stick with it or get maybe a vulture or owl for screech
