Opposite dragons are dragons which have opposite elements. These dragons cannot be bred with a basic dragon of each element, thereby requiring the use of hybrid dragons for breeding.

Breeding Opposite Dragons
Breeding Opposite Dragons are not much different from breeding other dragons. As long as both opposite elements are in the breeding pool, even if there are additional non-opposite elements, you may get the opposites. This is irrespective of the cave being used.
If the pool contains only the opposite elements (excluding epic elements), then both respective primaries are possible results. This applies to all dragons and breeding combinations. For example: Ironwood Dragon + Malachite Dragon only contribute plant and metal elements to the breeding pool. Breeding against a primary dragon parent (in this case Plant Dragon or Metal Dragon) yields the same results.
Epic dragons which contribute opposite elements follow the same principle. For example, the Dancey Dragon only contributes cold and fire elements. Breeding a Dancey Dragon with a cold or fire primary dragon can result in a cold or fire primary dragon in addition to cold/fire hybrids. Breeding two Dancey dragons together would also give the same results.
The following rules are no longer applicable with the introduction of the Rift Dimension.
Opposite dragons can be bred by using a dragon of a primary element and breeding it with any hybrid dragon with the opposite element present. However, the hybrid dragon itself cannot be an opposite dragon. For example, to breed the Sandstorm Dragon, the player must use an Air Dragon and breed it with any earth hybrid except a Sandstorm Dragon or Dodo Dragon.
The rule for breeding dragons with opposite elements is as follows: Opposite Dragon = Basic Dragon + Hybrid Dragon with Opposite Element. For example:
- Blue Fire Dragon = (fire + cold hybrid) ---> Fire Dragon + Storm Dragon
Opposite dragons have a significantly lower chance of being bred than the ordinary hybrid dragons, and are not guaranteed each time the player tries to obtain one. It will probably take multiple attempts before breeding one, so it is suggested to not give up and keep trying until one is bred.
If trying to breed for an opposite dragon in the Epic Breeding Island or the Epic Breeding Sanctuary, the chances of receiving such a dragon, along with any other rare dragon, are raised.
There is another method to breed opposite dragons with a much higher success rate, but it can only be used to duplicate an already existing opposite dragon. The player and a friend can breed together a primary dragon with the other person's opposite dragon by using the Cooperative Breeding Cave. This method works by using the rule that when the elements of the parents can not produce any ordinary hybrid dragons, the result will be a duplicate of one of the parents, each one with 50% chance.
In order for the combination to not produce any ordinary hybrids, the parents must only have two elements which are opposites. Normally this may not seem possible, since primary dragons of opposite elements cannot breed together, but by using an already existing opposite dragon it is possible. Breeding the opposite dragon with a primary dragon that shares one element with the opposite dragon, or with another opposite dragon sharing the same elements.
This is an example of using this method to get a Blue Fire Dragon:
Each parent has equal chance of being the one that gets duplicated, which gives a 50% chance that the child will be a Blue Fire Dragon, and a 50% chance of a Fire Dragon. Since the Fire Dragon only has 5 minutes breeding time, another attempt can be made just a short while later, and most opposite dragons have a primary dragon that they can breed with for very short waiting time in case of failure.
Note that some opposite dragons may not follow the standard rules listed above, such as limited ones.

Regular Opposites
Blue Fire Dragon
In order to breed the Blue Fire Dragon, the player needs to breed any two dragons containing the fire and cold elements. A hybrid dragon is required as a parent because opposite primary dragons cannot breed directly.
The best combination to use when trying for the Blue Fire Dragon is breeding the Fire Dragon or Cold Dragon with a dragon which only contributes one or both opposite elements, as this reduces the number of potentially unwanted dragons and lengthy wait times in the breeding pool.
The breeding chance for the Blue Fire Dragon is the highest if not used as a parent, except for when two Blue Fire Dragons are bred in the Cooperative Breeding Cave, which gives the highest chance for a clone. Therefore, even if you already own the Blue Fire Dragon (except if you own one and one is available from a friend), the best chance to breed is to not use it as a parent, and instead use a breeding combination of primary or hybrid dragons which contribute the opposite elements.
Without having access to an already existing Blue Fire Dragon either from the players own park or from a friend, the best combinations time-wise to use is breeding the primary dragons (Fire Dragon or Cold Dragon) or any dragon which contributes one or both opposite elements to the pool with either the Fever Dragon, Flickerflame Dragon, or Frostfire Dragon. The possible results one can get from this combination are: Blue Fire Dragon, Fever Dragon, Flickerflame Dragon, or Frostfire Dragon (excluding primary and limited outcomes).

Breeding In The Rift Dimension
Breeding an opposite dragon or a version of it with a trait within the Rift Dimension requires the necessity of finding a hybrid dragon with a third element, but does not require the use of the primary version counterpart to be in the breeding pair.
For example, in the breeding locations outside of the Rift Dimension, players may decide to use a Fire Dragon and an Ice Dragon to obtain a Blue Fire Dragon because the Ice Dragon brings a third element of water to the breeding combination.
In the Rift Dimension, players are not required to use a primary counterpart, and as long as both elements of the desired dragon are in the "breeding pool", there is a chance to obtain the desired opposite dragon. For example, as long as the "breeding pool" has the fire element and cold element, there is a chance to obtain a Blue Fire Dragon or a Frostfire Dragon.
Previously Hidden Dragons
These opposite dragons were not shown in the market for a brief period prior to their release into the market, but were still breedable while not in the market.
Notes
- On December 19, 2012, all of the opposite dragons disappeared from the market, but could still be bred.
- The Reindeer Dragon was an opposite dragon before the Metal Dragon was introduced. After the Metal Dragon's release it was no longer considered an opposite dragon, since the metal element became the opposite to plant rather than cold. This also changed how cold and plant boosts affected the earning rates.
- All of the opposite dragons are recolorations, with slight differences, of their primary element dragon, with the exception of the Light Rift Dragon, the Dark Rift Dragon, the Iron Blossom Dragon, and the Thorn Dragon.
- For example, the primary element of the Blue Fire Dragon is the fire element. The Blue Fire Dragon is a re-coloration of the Fire Dragon
- On July 6, 2017, at the start of the Roar of the Rift event, the Light Rift Dragon and the Dark Rift Dragon no longer have opposite elements.
- On June 27, 2013, all opposite dragons received a unique design of infobox that includes a "curtain" on either side of the box, with the exception of the Light Rift Dragon, and the Dark Rift Dragon.
- The "Golden Hybrids" (hybrid dragons with gold print icons on their eggs) also share this unique infobox.
- Before negative boosts were removed on August 7, 2014, opposite dragons were unable to be affected positively by a boost.
- For example, putting a Fire Dragon Boost on an island with the Blue Fire Dragon on it, used to negatively affect the cold element, and positively affect the fire element, so it was unable be positively affected overall.
- Around September 13, 2017, with the introduction of the Rift Dimension, breeding requirements for opposite dragons changed, requiring both opposite elements to be present in the breeding pool instead of requiring a primary dragon parent.
