How to Breed an Ichigo Dragon: A Comprehensive Guide
Breeding dragons in DragonVale can be both exciting and sometimes a little perplexing. If you’re aiming to add the delightful Ichigo Dragon to your collection, you’ve come to the right place.
The Ichigo Dragon is bred by using a Berry Dragon and any dragon that contains both the Plant and Earth elements. The order of the breeding dragons doesn’t matter, and you can use any Breeding Cave in your park. So, essentially you can use any two dragons, as long as one is a Berry Dragon and the other contains both Plant and Earth elements.
Understanding the Breeding Process
The beauty of DragonVale lies in its nuanced breeding mechanics. The Ichigo Dragon follows a specific formula, but understanding the underlying principles will help you with all dragon breeding. For the Ichigo Dragon these key things to remember are:
- Primary Dragon: You’ll need a Berry Dragon to start.
- Secondary Requirement: The second parent must have both the Plant and Earth elements. This is not one element or the other, it must have both elements.
- Breeding Location: You can use any Breeding Cave in your park, including the Epic Breeding Island or the Co-op Cave.
- Order: The order you place the parents doesn’t matter.
- Patience: Breeding can take time, so be prepared to wait for the egg to appear.
- Luck: Although this combination guarantees the possibility of the Ichigo Dragon, it doesn’t guarantee you will get it every single time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What elements does the Ichigo Dragon have?
The Ichigo Dragon has the primary elements of Plant and Earth.
Do I need a specific level for the parent dragons?
No, there is no specific level requirement for the parent dragons. However, using higher-level dragons can sometimes (though not always) increase your chances of getting a rarer dragon.
Can I use a hybrid dragon that has both Plant and Earth elements?
Absolutely! If you have a hybrid dragon that possesses both the Plant and Earth elements, it will work as the secondary parent for breeding the Ichigo Dragon. Examples of such dragons are: the Tree Dragon, Moss Dragon, Flower Dragon, Quake Dragon or even any dragon with both Plant and Earth elements.
Does the Breeding Cave matter?
No, the location of the Breeding Cave does not matter. You can use any Breeding Cave, the Epic Breeding Island, or even the Co-op Cave.
What if I don’t have a Berry Dragon?
If you don’t have a Berry Dragon, you will need to breed for one first. It can be obtained using a combination of any Plant and Water dragon in any Breeding Cave. Once you have a Berry Dragon, you’re set to start breeding for the Ichigo.
Is the Ichigo Dragon breedable at any time?
Yes, the Ichigo Dragon is breedable any time of day as it doesn’t have any specific time restrictions or weather requirement to be able to breed it, so start breeding anytime you want!
What is the incubation time for the Ichigo Dragon?
The incubation time for the Ichigo Dragon is 16 hours. Make sure you have a free habitat ready to go!
Is the Ichigo Dragon a permanent dragon?
Yes, the Ichigo Dragon is a permanent dragon, meaning it is not a limited-time event dragon, and it will always be breedable.
Can I breed the Ichigo Dragon in the Rift?
Yes, the Ichigo Dragon can be bred in the Rift, as it doesn’t have a rift trait. However, you still must use a Berry Dragon and any dragon containing both the Plant and Earth elements, but in the Rift!
What if I only get a Berry Dragon after breeding?
If you don’t get the Ichigo Dragon on your first try, don’t be discouraged! Continue breeding using the same combination. You might get another Berry Dragon, which you can use to try again later or you might get another common hybrid, but persistence will pay off.
How rare is the Ichigo Dragon?
The Ichigo Dragon is not considered to be a particularly rare dragon, but it can still take a few attempts to breed. Its difficulty is moderate and many players can obtain it easily.
Are there any boosts that can help me breed the Ichigo Dragon faster?
While there are no specific boosts for the Ichigo Dragon, you can use the Wishing Well to speed up your breeding times. Remember, luck is a factor in all breeding, even with boosts.
Can I breed an Ichigo Dragon with another Ichigo Dragon?
Yes, you can breed two Ichigo Dragons together, but you’re unlikely to get an Ichigo egg with that pairing as it is not a primary or hybrid element combination. It’s best to stick to the original breeding formula for the best results.
Can I use a dragon with only Plant or only Earth?
No, a dragon must contain both the Plant and Earth elements to work as the secondary parent. A dragon with only one of those elements will not work.
What is the best method to get the Ichigo Dragon?
The best method to obtain an Ichigo Dragon is simply to use the correct parent dragons – Berry Dragon and any dragon with both Plant and Earth elements. Keep trying, as the results can be random, and you will eventually obtain one. There is no better combination than the one described at the start of this article.
