So it appears more than a few of you are looking for tips on breeding various Dragons in DragonVale
(Free/Universal). If you’re not familiar with the game, you can read our review here, but suffice it to say it’s one of those “time burglars” where you raise and cross-breed various dragon-types to create the ultimate Magical Dragon zoo. Ultimately pointless, yet addicting. Unfortunately, some dragons can be hard to get, and though you may TRY to breed a combinations that looks like they should get you a hard-to-get Rainbow or Moon Dragon or such, sometimes it just doesn’t happen. So we decided to put out a list of what we have found to work for each Dragon Type. I currently have a couple of every dragon (my Game Center ID is “Dr Macenstein” if you’d like to check out my dragons) and while many of them can be gotten with different combos, I will tell you only what breeding combinations actually DID work for me. I will warn you that occasionally even the right combination may take up 20 times or even more, but I promise you, these combinations WILL work. Eventually. Also note a couple of these dragons are “seasonal”, and may not be available at the moment no matter what dragons you breed. Finally, I suggest for most hybrids you purchase the Breeding Island (located under “ISLANDS” in the market) as it can increase your odds when attempting to breed a particularly hard to get hybrid. That being said I think I have also bred most of these with the regular breeding cave as well. ALSO, please note: For pretty much every dragon I have found that the order does NOT matter, despite what people say. For instance I got a Plasma with Lightning and Seaweed, and my wife got it with Seaweed and Lightning. So feel free to mix up the order of my suggestions if you’d like. Again, I’m just telling you what worked for me. Also, if you breed two dragons and want to know what the result will be before they hatch, check out this handy “List of DragonVale dragon incubation and Breeding Times” I threw together. And if you’re looking for “Suggestions for winning DragonVale Races”, click here.
First up we have the “Elemental Dragons”. These cannot be bred – you have to shell out coins for these – so start saving. On the plus side, these dragons make up the building blocks for all other dragons, so once you have them, you can get the rest (well, ALMOST all the rest).

The new rift dragons are here! Dont forget to add them to your guide 😀
Hi Mac,
I’m looking for the breeding info on a starwing.
Thanks!
Wendy
How do you breed for the starwing dragon. I don’t see a link on here for a combo to get it.
I bred an Antumbra with an Alpenglow plus Dark Rift with Earth alignment
Hey guys how the heck do you add friends? Every time I text a friend request to my bro it just tells him to get the game- never asks to be friends. I know u can do it on Facebook but I do not have Facebook. The Game Center in the settings app has no place to add friends that I know of. Please get back soon. Thx
Have you quit dragonvale
nope
– The Doc
Can you post Nimbus, please? Plus the new event ones…
Are you working on the ghostlies?
Is there a coal dragon
Yeah, I got that one too.
Anyone know how to breed a Nimbus dragon?
Lotus plus Salamander in fire alignment. Took me a bunch of tries, too.
What about Snowbrush? (Plant, cold, light)
Do you have the new dragon combos yet like the starshine and sleighbell?
Hey Mac, how do you breed a Tulip dragon it’s not on the list ?
Hey Mac,
I noticed that Galaxy dragons are only breedable by another galaxy dragon of the same kind. One of my friends has multiple different Galaxy Dragons, but my cooperative breeding cave will only allow me to select one of hers. Any help?
It all depends on what she is breeding with. If she is using a Nova dragon to breed, then you will only be able to use her Nova. It is the same with you from her end. If you use a Cerulean, then the only thing she will be able to breed with from you is the Cerulean.
Hello. I am wondering if there are breeding tips for Krampus or Kringle yet. Thinking about trying to breed one of my epics with a Kringle hoping to get one.
Party dragon = dark and moon
Snowbrush? It’s not in the alphabetical list.
How do you add friends WITHOUT Facebook?
What can I breed my serenity dragon with to get new dragons?
Game center Mr.KingWB – trade Gems. Need more options breeding.
Friend me on Facebook
My name is Johny Nadya!
I bred a Tumblethorn with a Bicentennial plus Garland with Metal alignment.
I am so confused about breeding in the rift and how dragons acquire traits.
How do you breed cumulus, stoneshell, tansy and tulip? None of those hidden dragons are on the list.
For the event going on now for easter. 2018. The combo for Cocoahollow is Soot and Conifer. It can only be bred in the Burcadian Breeding Cave with eggs.
How do you breed a tansy dragon?
39 hours.. accelerated in upgraded regular cave. Not 39 HR 12 M and not less, 39 hours exactly… What is it?
Parents are storm and firefly
Does anybody have a monolith dragon that I could breed with?
i have a monolith dragon if you would like to breed. I do not know how to friend you, but if you tell me i can breed dragons with you
Looking to breed with other people for more options. Look me up on facebook.
How would anyone do that? Are you the only Micheala on Facebook?
🙂
– the Doc
What would I breed to get a smitten dragon? When i click on it, it doesnt do anything. Thank u
Hey im not sure how i bred my smitten dragon it is currently in my hibernation cave along with my surprise dragon because i cant save up my gems i have 2 double leap years , a platinum , a bronze and many more like sun dragons and gold olympuses if u would like to breed with my dragons my Facebook name is Ran Domacccount
Hey guys! Check inventory b4 you breed. If the dragon you choose isn’t in the inventory, chances add it won’t show up during breeding. I went to check incubation on rose and it was no longer in inventory. Nightmare was also taken out of breeding bcuz it’s for sale in the boat event. Found that out by accident as well.
?
I just got a Sprite Dragon from breeding a Terradium Dragon and a Bilby Dragon
Has anyone found a good combo to obtain the totem dragon please and thank you
Just started playing about a week ago, looking for some people that can give me pointers/tips. Add me on facebook
Just got the Embossed dragon on a cold rift using Scoria and hail
Hey yo , love all the work your putting to this site! Do you have a breeding formula for the Nimbus Dragon yet?
I bred an omen dragon and a nebula dragon, and the breeding time was about 1 day and 23 hours. Anybody know what this could be?
What is the benefit of the yellow border around the dragon please?
