The amount of grinding required to gain rank 5 skills is /long/. This is good, because Rank 5 abilities are very powerful. However, some players have used the same pets for years, and when new stat maxes are released (such as LG stats), their pets become less powerful compared to the current "meta".
A possible solution could be a "stat transfer". It might not be feasible, so feel free to add comments on ways to combat possible exploitation of this.
All stats (mana, health, etc) and ability expertise would be switched from one pet to another. This could have some balancing and breeding consequences, so I have some balancing ideas.
1. Both pets must be infertile. This would prevent either pet from breeding and passing on their stats. It would also prevent people from immediately breeding max stats within days of playing.
2. There is a fixed cost, similar to resetting element and proficiency points. This could be either gold or diamonds. The cost would likely be high, as a "custom" max stat would be worth quite a bit. A diamond price of 500 diamonds would result in a profit of $5 for the site, but could go as high as 2500 while still being feasible for players and resulting in a large profit for the site.
3. Neither pet can be themed or exclusive (but can be purebred). This would prevent players from stat boosting a brew/plant pet and transferring the stats.
Feel free to comment or add limitations.

I like this idea!
However, I disagree with the second restriction. A lot of people have battle teams of pets they bought from other people - like me, I got mine from Xav and I love my team to death - and have used that team for possibly years, grinding levels and proficiencies and ranks. Setting a restriction on 'both pets must be yours' means that a player will have to first spend the months breeding a set of max stats, and then spending even more months getting those new pets up to the level and rank of their previous battle team. Sylestia already has a very slow progression rate for ranking up so this could possibly take a year or more to complete.
Edit: The second restriction has been changed
