DragonVale: How to breed a Pearl Dragon
[EDIT: Looks like the “rare” Pearl Dragon egg seen below is actually the newly updated Pearl Dragon egg, so the original egg might actually turn out to be the “rare” one you can no longer get. Not sure why BackFlip Studios changed it midway through, but it looks like the Pearl Egg with the Pearl in it is the new egg]
PEARL DRAGON:
INCUBATION TIME: 30 Hours
BUY-IT Price: 1,475 GEMS
HOW TO BREED: Snow and Seaweed (Seasonal – can only be bred in the Month of June)
Interesting Fact: The Pearl Dragon is the only dragon I have seen so far that has TWO different types of eggs (scroll down). The hatched Pearl Dragons appear identical, however, so I am not sure the reason behind the difference.
(This guide is part of a larger DragonVale breeding guide. For the full list of breedable dragons, click here.

The Pearl Dragon egg apparently comes in TWO varieties (Egg 4 is the alternate egg). The dragons seem the same though.
- The 3rd Egg (pinkish white) is the DragonVale PEARL Dragon Egg
- The Pearl Dragon egg apparently comes in TWO varieties. The dragons seem the same though.
everyone, it does work! But I tried a least 10 times before I got it but the way I got it was by using a different pare of snow and seaweed! Example: after you attempt to get pearl you might get a snow.. KEEP IT! Then get another seaweed (but again attempt for pearl with the original pair you were using) once you get a seaweed level them both up to 10 (or higher) then breed them! I got it on my first try of this and my pearl dragon is going to hatch in 9 hours! Mix and them up too!! You never know! (btw I did not get emerald but I’m not giving up hope! Because I really like this game) add game centre account to guys I will trade gems with everyone my game centre account is my name that came with the comment 😉
You can’t get emerald anymore.
Add Me lizagurl1217 I wil give daily gems but you must send me the first one
I got it in less than 4 tries! But it works and I got some other dragons that I didn’t have too
Worked for me too! Sorta,tried it first time with a newly bred and leveled snow/seaweed that didn’t work so I tried the new level 10 snow and my original seaweed and I’m pretty sure it worked breed time is a day and 3 hours!
Add DAVIDTERRE1 on game cnter for daily gems i have a dragonsai gem tree
I got it!!! After 3 days that i used snow and seaweed i got one new snow and i tried then the seaweed
First with the new snow!!!
I don’t think it works
I’ve tried Seaweed and Snow at LEAST twice a day since its release and havn’t gotten a Pearl but I know it’s by chance.. The combo yielded me a 2nd Rainbow dragon though so I can’t complain too much.. It’s frustrating but I think it happens so people will be forced to buy gems. You get more and more frustrated with the time restraints so you speed everything up with gems, eventually run out, and go buy them. 🙁 maybe not.. But just a thought. On that note: I need friends who can trade a gem on a daily basis. I have 5 on my tree that go to waste daily..
Add–> LineyBub :p
The first 5 with trees will be accepted 🙂
Trade gem for gem add jcv2010 . Thanks
You can add me, my game center name is sheiela
I have bred snow and seaweed more than 30x now and I have only gotten snow, and willow, and a couple other average type of dragons! I don’t want to give up, but I am getting a little flustered!
I just bought a gem tree so if you want to trade gems, my nickname is moto30
Hi, add me on game centre please
nickname: adelpnut
Thanks
I will trade gems with anyone. cslocumb69
I have slits of friends I trade gems with but sometimes when I’m ready to gift gems some of my friends buttons will be inactive and I have to chose someone else. Anyone know why the buttons are I active?
Because if u trade with one person one day u have to trade with somebody different 🙂 🙂
I understand that but I trade Once a day and the buttons were inactive so I dont get it
It has to be EXACTLY 24 hours.
I just got a 48 hr using a snow and seaweed…hoping it’s a good one! 😀
Its a rainbow
Or a sun/moon
Because u have to wait 24 hours to give the same friend another gem!
after trying 52 times and 156 gems later i got a pearl dragon but then my little brother sold my pearl dragon.
F**********************************************************************ing hell
Well, at least you know the combo works…
🙂

Why it didnt work in my dragonvale????
I tryed snow and seaweed and seaweed and snow but nothing works i did it many times -.-
Keep trying it works it is snow and seaweed btw
Worked like a charm! I now have 5 pearl dragons. The using of newly levelled dragons seems to be the best tactic. So, I used one pair for the first dragon, then with the snow and seaweed dragons that I ended up getting out of the pairings, I levelled up a new set and used them for the second, same thing for the third, etc.
VERY effective!!! And, far fewer gems than buying the dragons with gems 😀
THANK YOU!!!
TraceWah
P.S. I also got two Solstice Dragons very quickly using your tips!!!
Your lucky… I’ve been trying for almost the entire month and still don’t have one. But that’s alright because I still have plenty more Junes coming me way! 🙂
Oh, that sucks. Is there another way to get pearl? I do not have seaweed, AND I can not get water. :-(. Add me on game center : lil’ Bman.
they cant keep up with the dragons being gems they would have to have some as by money?????
Hey doc. Do u still buy stuff such as gems for people?????
No, I never did, actually. Talk to Mr. Scribbles or Cassi.
– The Doc
about what
they both jailbroke their devices and offered to send people gems with their cracked app if you send them your username/pass for gamecenter.
– The Doc
And me .tourtlo a
Can i trust them?
As much as you can trust any stranger with your personal info.
But as I’ve said before I’m not a proponent of it.
– The Doc
Can i trust either of them?
Cassi helped me and her email is soup.forever@gmail.com got me a bunch of food and some gems.
Any other combos that have worked for getting a pearl dragon?
This combo stints
Add. On gamecenter? Gem for gem? I have tree!(: borat2327
I’m convinced you can’t get these dragons unless you use gems. I tried all of may breeding for nothing but the emerald dragon then spent money on gems the last 2 days and got three of them. I wouldn’t mind buying dragons but I’m not paying 80 dollars its insane and extortion. Hate it!!!
Yes i finally got a pearl dragon about to hatch in 9 hours.Dont know whether this helps but i breeded both snow and seaweed at around 12 at night and i did get an incubation time of 30 hours.For those who still cant get a pearl dragon dont give up your bound to get it sooner or later
FINALLY have it. A total of 60 hours to go.. 30 breeding.. 30 incubation.
Efter 200 gemstones hva jeg liiige ved at give op MEN så opgraderet jeg min breeding Cave! Så kom den i første forsøg føler mig skide dum nu xD men seaweed og snow virkede! Fik også sump og lich drager.
Vis nogle vil se min smukke park så rap-pie min gamecenter navn og jeg acceptere gerne venne ansøgninger :3
Im so stupid i wrote in Danish xD
After 200 gemstones and Many other dragons i was about to give up. But then i upgraded ny breedingcave and Got it in first try, xD seaweed and snow rally works! If anyone wanna see my park ADD rap-pie gamecenter id okay :3 i gladly take friend requestes
I finally have a pearl breeding. I know you can’t breed pearl with other dragons Can you breed 2 pearls to get a third?
No, it has already said that due to their Gem producing characteristic, they cannot be bred. Pls add me in your game center. I have gem tree. I give present to those active players.
my ID is = hero.of.legends
this is impossible to breed. I spent $10 on gems and i cannot get it. I tried using different sets of snow and seaweed dragons but it still didnt work. 200 gems later i still didnt get it and im about to give up hope. Does anyone have any advice?!? I need help. I will do gem for gem add me on game center Carlos-Ramirez.
It took me about 20 times to get this thing, however it’s worth it. At lv.10 it produces 1 gem per week. Yay, that’s two gems each week because I have a pearl and emerald dragon!!
Oh, also, after breeding my Pearl Dragon, the egg has a pinkish-whitish background but it also has a pearl on it.
Doc I’m pretty sure they changed the pearl dragon egg design. I checked my egg which is incubating and it looks different.
Hey guys, I just got a 2nd, ALTERNATE-looking Pearl Egg (see the pic above). Anyone else get this? The hatched Dragons seem identical.
– The Doc
What’s your game center username doc can I add you?
Hey Kaitlin,
It’s in the post above.
My iPhone may have hit the 500 friend limit, that name is DrMacesntein
but I also have an iPad account at MacensteiniPad
Thanks!
– The Doc
I totally just did!!! At first I was like, “What the heck is this?” Then I realized it was a pearl!!! Did the times you bred your dragons make any difference as to whether it was a pearl or not?
Yes! I have also noted from my pearl egg on display that the design has been changed (too bad I like the old design more) and this only happened recently (today?).
Really???
I got it by doing plant and water
What is a goodname for a steel dragon???
Steel dragon 😀
i have been tryong to get this pearl for the last 13 days no stop and i am close to the breading island to try more but i am off by 10 any helpm to get them would be much appreshated
rel9000
I GOT IT!!!!!!!! Oh my freaking god I got it! IMPORTANT: It’s NOT a 30 hour breeding time, only incubation. I bred my dragons, snow and seaweed, and got a 25 hour breeding time. Was all disappointed and wallowing in self pity, but I checked the egg today and it’s a pearl!!! Someone previously mentioned getting all of their pearls by starting the breeding time between 11 and 12 at night (sorry I forgot who!). I think they’re on to something! I got the pearl by breeding at that time! It took three tries, but it happened. I had been trying for the whole month with no success, but just tried the different time and it worked! Thank you so much, whoever you were!
Idea
congrats never thought my suggestions would work. Btw, u breed snow with seaweed to get pearl or seaweed with snow?
I’m pretty sure it was snow with seaweed.
I just got it using seaweed and snow. It took a long time though. Also if u guys want to try a fun free game get Rage of Bahamut. And for the referral code type in fug33397
Add me please! Gift me an I will gift u! My username is Mel 1103.
The reason I think the gem gifting thing wont work is because I think the gem gifting opportunity comes every 23 hours, and the gem gifting to a certain person take 24 hours.
Gamecentre username: Pokètrainer
whats about the new dragon the solcist dragon. any idea on how to breed that.????????????????????
mud(or earth) and blazing as I heard.
Right now I’m so happy! I’ve just found out the breeding for seaweed and snow takes 30 hours, which means… PEARL DRAGON. Thanks doc, I would never made it without you
It doesn’t work! :'( when I try I get ether ice or iceberg and hey doc PUT UP BREEDINGS THAT WORK IN A BREEDING CAVE NOT JUST THE ISLAND!!!! >:(
All Gem dragon breeding combinations work in both the island and the cave, it’s just less likely to be successful in the cave. This is the only pair that can produce a pearl, and there are a lot of possible combinations that it can produce as well, so learn some bloody patience and stop accusing people of lying or not telling you everything when they’ve done their best to help everyone out .

Breed Snow lvl 10 and Seaweed lvl 10 on epic island my second time and got 30 hours. I think it is a Pearl Dragon. I will let everyone know. Good Luck Gamers!
friend me on game center: jazzyyyxo
I’ll send gems
I would like to exchange gems….can you add me to your friends list?
There are not two varieties of pearl eggs. The pinkish white egg was changed to the multi colored egg with a pearl in the middle. I had a pearl egg displayed and noticed it randomly changed on June 12. Whether its significant or not I do not know.
For some reason, the breeding time for me was only 25 hours… Perhaps it has something to do with the egg design? My pearl egg was the second one… But then again, if Stephanie’s right, there are no more of the first kind… So perhaps the breeding time has shortened?
No I just started breeding and it said 30 hours
No no no… It is a 25h breeding time because you bred it in an upgraded cave/island. Upgrading either of the two breeding stations decreases 20% (correct me if I am wrong) of the original breeding time… I know it is kinda late, but…
But the incubation time for me was also 30 hours. Bug?
Add me i think i have the best 5 islands ever,
I have 2 of: sun, rainbow, solstice, and moon and i have silver (so far) in all shrinesand i have a dragonsai tree

Does someone know what dragon this is? It can’t be the pearl, I already have one and that’s not it’s egg. I’m really curious as to what it could be. Any help?
That’s my instagram I posted it on there so I could show you guys the pic.
It is a Pearl, they changed the egg for some reason

Add me sfchefdrew. I’ll go gem for gem. I have a tree. Alot of people who said they’d return arenot. Only add mr if you’re serious.
I got five pearl dragons very quickly, but for the past 2.5 weeks I have been unable to get another. Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many pearl dragons you cab get?
add me manjackLC
Hi I have a gifting tree but no friends. Level 29
Trading gems sounds fun. Add me Graveymail
I got a rainbow instead of a pearl with snow and seaweed. 🙂 🙁
I tried several times to get emerald but I failed. Today, I was able to breed 2 pearl dragons. Check it out
Game center: MZulu
I got 1 w/ blazing+seaweed=pearl
Guys. Can you get it in the regular breeding cave? I’ve been trying for a week and no luck. And I’m too young to have a credit card and my parents don’t believe in spending money on inanimate objects. So maybe?
^meaning I can’t buy it or a breeding island.
Yes kate it is possible. The pearl egg on my island is actually bred in the normal breeding cave.
Snow and seaweed in that order make sure that theyre both atleast level 10 ^.^
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Finally got pearl dragon it only took 40 tries oh well hopefully hardwork pays off in gems oh yeah baby
Hey add me I’m a daily player send me gems and I’ll send you gems 🙂
I just got it on my first try with the normal Breeding Cave ^^ How lucky is that?
Really lucky, I would say. Congrats! 😀
Me too!!! Like a boss!!
Wat levels were ur seaweed and snow to get the pearl if u kno???!
I got it twice on my first two tries in the epic breeding sanctuary. My dragons are both lvl 8
Still trying 🙁
I will give gem 4 gem add me at game center my name is poopbandit1
That’s pretty lucky and I did too but it didn’t work on the island so it goes to show that some dragons have a better chance in the normal breeding cave. Add me on game center: TheNuclearWaffle. I’ll give gems daily.
I’ve bred a snow and seaweed dragon in both for every single day of the month. Second to last day of the month. Still nothing. At all. So good luck for you, honestly. Im not trying to be sarcastic or snide, just good for you.
To be fair, I have gotten a rainbow and sun dragon out of it, and another 48 hour dragon coming soon, but still.
