Basic Dragon Breeding Information
The basic of Dragon City breeding is taught during tutorial.. You will first have to level up your dragon via feeding to at least level 4.. Build a building ground such as Breeding Mountain or Breeding Tree, then you can select which of the dragon that you would like to breed.. It will take some time for the dragons to create the eggs and even more time for the eggs to hatch.. The types of offspring is dependent on the parents.. In addition, there is some sort of luck involved in breeding that you may not get the dragon you are looking for 100% of the time..
When you first start the game, we recommend you to start from generation 1 and breed a couple high generation dragons.. However, slow down on the Pure Dragon breeding ( We label it generation 4 and 4.5 ) because the long breeding time can hinder your game play..
Basic Breeding Dragons to start breeding the dragons, you must first have these basic building blocks.. You must purchase these dragons from eggs because you do not have the parents to generate and mate for these basic dragons..
Plant Dragon, Fire Dragon, Earth Dragon, Water Dragon
Electric Dragon, Ice Dragon, Metal Dragon, Dark Dragon

It is all pretty much based on luck and luck only, ( Lottery System )..

Please note that some of these chances are not 100%, and there may be other ways that you can successfully breed the Dragon City dragon that you are looking for.. I have used () to note the basic building block for the specific Generation 1 dragons for your convenience..

Pirate can also be bred from: Rattlesnake + Lantern Fish and Neon + Cloud
It should be additionally noted that ( Medieval + Alpine dragon ) is one of the best dragon breeding formula's in Dragon City because of its ability to bred different types of hybrid rares..
Generation 3 Dragon Breeding – Legendary
The dragon breeding list for the legendary rank is well, pretty rare.. You really have to rely heavily on your luck to get a shot at landing these dragons.. Because the type of elements associated with these rare breeds are quite complex, I do not have the exact formula for these Dragon City breeds yet..
Legendary Dragon – Cool Fire Dragon + Soccer Dragon
Crystal Dragon – Coolfire + Soccer
Mirror Dragon – Gummi Dragon + Cool Fire Dragon
Wind Dragon – Gummi Dragon + Cool Fire Dragon, Soccer + CoolFire
Generation 4 and 5 Pure Dragon Breeding – The Pure Dragons
The pure dragon in Dragon City is the latest update that uses all the legendary dragons that you have gotten.. Some people also call the Pure dragon the “Unicorn” dragon, because it looks like a unicorn.. However, the actual name on Dragon City is the Pure Dragon.. This category of dragon has its own habitat of the Pure and Pure elements.. Below is how you can obtain these pure dragons in Dragon City..
I have intentionally separated the ranking generation of Pure and Pure Element.. You will need Pure/Unicorn Dragon before you can start breeding the Pure Elements, thus effectively make the Pure Elements one generation after the Dragon City Pure Dragon..
It should be noted again that the breeding chance of Pure Dragon is not 100%. Based on our brief tests, I estimate the chance of breeding the Pure Dragon to be roughly 30~50% or even lower.. There is a chance to have a result of any possible dragon combination when you breed two legendary dragon together..
Generation 4 – The Pure Dragon
Pure Dragon – Any breeding combination from legendary status dragons – Legendary, Crystal, Mirror, Wind.. For example: Legendary + Crystal, Crystal + Mirror, Mirror + Mirror, Wind + Wind and so on …
Generation 5 – The Pure Element Dragons
After you have obtained the Pure dragons, you can use the Dragon City pure dragon to breed the Pure element dragons with their elemental counterparts.. Below is a list of all these pure elemental dragons..
Pure Plant = Pure Dragon + Plant Dragon
Pure Fire = Pure Dragon + Fire Dragon
Pure Earth = Pure Dragon + Earth Dragon
Pure Water = Pure Dragon + Water Dragon
Pure Electric = Pure Dragon + Electric Dragon
Pure Ice = Pure Dragon + Ice Dragon
Pure Metal = Pure Dragon + Metal Dragon
Pure Dark = Pure Dragon + Dark Dragon
Special Advice on Pure Dragon Breeding and Hatching Time:
The pure dragons breeding combination takes a whopping 48 hours to complete.. The hatching of any “Pure” Dragon City Dragons also takes 48 hours.. Together the Pure Dragon breeding and hatching time adds up to 96 hours which is 4 days.. Before you start breeding these, make sure that you have enough Dragons as backup because they will take up your breeding and hatching queue.. Putting your available Legendary Dragons into breeding places will make them unable to battle for that initial 2 days..
Notes:
Dragon City Opposing Element Breeding
In this list that we have provided, there are some breeds that include elements that are opposed to each other.. This means that you cannot normally breed them directly.. However, you can use hybrid dragons that contain the opposing elements to breed the hybrid dragons.. Because hybrid is used in the breeding process, this means that you will not be able to get the dragon that you want 100% of the time, so just keep on trying until you breed the Dragon City dragons that you need!
Notes:
Dragon City Breeding Rarity Booster
Just in October, the Dragon City developer's have opened a new feature named the Breeding Rarity Booster which can be used to boost your breeding chances.. Based on some preliminary testing on our part, I have determined the rate to be roughly “twice” of its original breeding chance..
This means that “if” you have roughly 30% chance at getting Legendary ranked Dragons, with the rarity booster you will have doubled that amount at 60%.. However, with the same reasoning, the effect of rarity booster is really limited when it comes to Pure and Pure Element combinations.. I estimate the chance of breeding the Pure ranked Dragons at about 5~10%.. Which means that the Rarity booster really only effectively gives you 5%~10% more ( nevertheless it still doubles the chance which helps you get them twice as fast, or even faster ).. Please note that I do not have the exact % of breeding chances, I simply observe that the Rarity booster is dependent on the original “rare” chance..
Verdict on Dragon Breed Rarity Booster:
It will be a better investment into breeding tree if you have not done so.. Save your precious gems for the special event dragons instead of pushing for higher breeding success chance via the Rarity booster.. When you get to a later level, there is much left to do except to collect the event dragons while letting your Dragon breeding schedule run..
Notes:
Update for Dragon Breeding Times
In the past week or so, Social Point seems to be running some testing by assigning different breeding times for the dragons.. This test now seems to have been rolled out to the majority of the players which we now call it a breeding time update..
Before the update, the breeding time is purely based upon the parents of the dragon pair.. With this update, the Dragon City breeding time is now directly related to how rare the egg hybrid offspring is.. For example, legendary and pure level eggs can take up to 24~48 hours for breeding.. For the generation 1~2 hybrids can generally take 4~16 hours..This update is good in a way that you can get more breeding tries within shorter period of time..This means that if you play consistently throughout the day, you can get your rares faster within shorter time frame.. Failed non-rare eggs will simply take shorter breeding time..
