You want to react to the event that happens when you start a pet battle.

Type "/eventtrace" or "/etrace" and then start a pet battle.

"/eventtrace stop" will stop collecting events so that you can look through them.

I had the same question and stumbled upon this thread, I was able to get Dynamic Cam working for Pet Battles via the following:

1. Type /dynamiccam (Ensure Advanced Mode is checked on the right)
2. Click Situations (on left)
3. Click New Custom Situation (Advanced) (on right)
4. Enter Pet Battles (or whatever you want to name it) and click Okay
5. Under Selected Situation (Custom: Pet Battles) scroll down to "Events" and type PET_BATTLE_OPENING_START, PET_BATTLE_CLOSE and click Okay to the right of it.
6. Set Priority to 1001 and click Okay to the right of it.
7. Under condition type return (PetBattleFrame:IsShown())
8. Adjust whatever other settings you wish and click Okay at the bottom right.

I don't know if this is the most efficient way to handle it or if it conflicts with other Situations, but it worked for me for adjusting the Dynamic Pitch and initial zoom level which is what I wanted.
