Breeding

Breeding Concepts
Breeding involves the following concepts:

1) One pair of dragons always produce one egg.

2) Dragons are asexual (neither male nor female). Therefore any dragon can breed with any other dragon, provided the following limits: 3) The resulting egg usually hatches into a dragon which possesses a mix of elements - one from each of its parents. Exceptions exist when legendary dragons are bred.
 * Dragons must be level 4 or above to breed.
 * Dragons which are busy in training or breeding elsewhere cannot be used for breeding until they are available again.
 * Pure elemental dragons cannot breed with pure elemental dragons of the opposite element.

4) The breeding time of any given combination of Dragons is equal to the longer hatch time of the two dragons used. (See Dragon City Eggs for hatch times.)

Pure
Pure dragons are those that have only one basic element. Two Fire Dragons will always lead to a Fire Dragon Egg.

Hybrid
Basic elemental dragons are bred together to form a hybrid. There are generally two different hydrid dragons that can result from such breeding. This is independent of the order they are selected to breeding but pure random.

Wrong-way rounds

These are hybrid dragons that have their elements listed opposite as the other kind of dragon you would get out of the breeding. This flipping changes the attacks the dragon will have, and its weaknesses and strengths of the dragon when compared to its counter part. Here is the complete list:


 * Vulcano / Flaming rock


 * Cloud / Blizzard


 * Cool Fire / Soccer


 * Laser / Hot Metal
 * Coral / Nenufar
 * Petroleum / Pirate
 * Carnivore Plant / Rattle Snake
 * Battery / Gold
 * Pearl / Platinum

Rare
Pure dragons of opposite elements can not be bred with each other. Instead hybrid dragons of each element have to be used. Rare dragons are: The Poo Dragon is a special dragon because it contains 3 elements instead of normally 2.
 * Armadillo
 * Soccer / Cool Fire
 * Pirate / Petroleum
 * Gummy
 * Poo

Legendary
Legendary dragons are bred using Rare hybrids. They are very hard to obtain.
 * Legendary
 * Crystal
 * Mirror
 * Wind

Breeding chart: Pure, Hybrid and Rare Dragons
Pure dragons are found from top left to bottom right. Rare Dragons are found from bottom left to top right: They can not be combined directly from their base elements. Understanding this chart will make breeding a Rare Dragon much easier as all possibilities are visible, Examples:

The breeding chart is mirrored along the diagonal of pure element dragons.
 * 1) An Armadillo (first column, last row) can be bred with any Hybrid from first column combined with any Hybrids in the last row.
 * 2) A Cool Fire (second column, seventh row) can be bred with any Hybrid of the second column combined with any Hybrid in the seventh row. However, your chances may depend on the combination chosen.

Breeding Times
The breeding time of any given combination of Dragons is equal to the longer hatch time of the two dragons used. (See Dragon City Eggs for hatch times.) Below are some examples of breeding times. (P = Pure, H = Hybrid, R = Rare, L = Legendary):
