You can definitely get two or three color hybrids from diamond x hybrid, I just don't think you can get a new single element dragon (royal, metal, etc) from diamond x hybrid. Like: water x light can give metal, but diamond x winter will only give winter, mercury, or angel (no metal). I forgot this rule and tried diamond x winter with the boosted breed several times hoping for metal but only got winter, took me a minute to realize what my problem was.
Does anybody know which elements/colors are weak against metal? In other words, when would you select a metal-type dragon as your contender?
Dream Dragon has returned for a limited time to add a possible fail to your attempts at Metal. But hey, she's super-rare.
I got metal first try with Light and Water, both level 10. I bred it using the boosted breed, if that helps. It's been a very long time since I got a dragon on the first try so this was nice.
Seeing as I've missed out on Mischeif dragon, I'm now gonna start breeding for this element. Gonna use water/light combo, seeing as people are getting good results from it
Good combo, got it first time speeded up the breeding to check and whoop gonna let it hatch itself tho, whilst the habitat builds. Gonna try for another base now. I'm thinking fairy tale
