Iridichi Breeding Plans and Discussion!

[Moriaty]

Just about anything looks good with golden lunar! I'm going to try them some time, I like the color combination

Another pair I might try is Equinox Dragons. I like the way they pick up the green tones in the female Iridichi's wings!

 

 

 

There are dragons that look lovely with red-themed mates, other with blue-themed mates and so on. And then there are Equinox Dragons, that looks gorgeous with EVERYTHING! 😍

They do indeed! I love the Vremya Drakes so much and always was sad I could not breed them to EVERYTHING. And then Equinox Dragons came about and they are the solution to all my colour-combination-not-possible-because-drake problems!
I have a feeling though I will like the Iridichi with just about anything aswell. The mostly white with rainbow makes them blend with anything and in some cases pops the colours of the mate.

Since the Equinox looks so good I tried more green


Something monochrome. The Cloudplumes blend so well with their purple hue!

I love this! It's so vibrant and still matchy!

Thank you for making these!  I feel like GLH is THE Lunar Herald to pair with the Iridichi!  Water walker looks okay, but I really like the male Terrae/female Irid combo!

Tried a few more breeding options with the Male Iridichi.

 

I like the Female pose better for form and structure but some of the colors of the wings get cut off in the lineage view. The male pose has that nice gold/orange edge clearly visible (also why I like the Gold Lunar Heralds best of the four colors!).

 

M Iridichi x Pyropellis

 

M Iridichi x Freckle

 

M Iridichi x Pale Shumoga (Can't remember if someone has shared this one yet)

I have to admit I was not a huge fan of these guys until I bred one to a male astaarus and now I'm rethinking that stance a bit. I've always loved the male astaarus sprite but never found anything I liked it with in lineages until now. The iridichi brings out the blue in the astaarus's feet and tail, and the astaarus brings out the warm colors in the iridichi's wings.

@Amberfly You made me wonder how Iridichi looks with female Astaarus who is very blue, so I went and made checkers for both genders... I think they look quite nice!

@0x08 They do look nice with the females too! Though I think the female astaarus is super versatile in lineages; they look good with a lot of different things. The males are much trickier to me.

Yeah, I love them just dont feel like the way their pose kinda leans, really does them many favours in lineages. Makes it look like the dragon is in italic to me  Male Iridichi have a similar vibe tbh. But this looks nice! 
 

Loving the greenie ones a lot as well.
 

For stripes they have given me a variety including red, blue and green. It could be very interesting

I love this sentence.

It makes so much sense.

Wow, there are some fantastic pairings for these beauties so far! 

 

@Rhikasa I love the Iridichi x female Tutela Cantormaris.

 

@BringsTheSnow, the Equinox pairing looks amazing.

 

@miaou, love the Yellow Sapphires!

 

These Iridichi really pick up those colors nicely. Amazing how many colors are in their wings.

A couple more nice checkers with female Iridichi, Aqualis and Silver. Lovely blues!

i thought they might look good with Snow or Solstice.

[0x08]

Snow is a nice match.

[Aniia]

very pretty!

I looked back through this thread for breeding inspiration this Halloween. I still love Female Iridichi with colorful breeds (Equinox, Blue Lunar Heralds, Lihnseyre). 

 

My favorite lineage pairing was one I snagged from the AP and hadn't seen before. Iridichi x Glystere:

I'm doing two pair with Green Copper, two pair with Brown Copper (the Brown Copper is lovely) and one with Equinox.

Yes!  I saw one such pairing up for trade, and... I HAD to have it!  It's so pretty! 

 

This year, I find I'm very partial to Iridichi x... male: Black-Capped Teimarr, Snow, Venturis, Yellow Sapphire; female: Golden Floret; either: GLH.  I'm always so matchy-matchy!  But it's hard to find a nice contrast with such a rainbow dragon.

[Lantean_Pegasus]

Now that they've grown up, here are a two more ideas. (For next year. Or christmas. 😉)

 

M Iridichi x Starsinger

F Iridichi x Mistra (I love this one!)

 

I also did Shadow x Iridichi. Because they are my two favourite Halloweens so far, and they look nice together, albeit not spectacular.

[sorenna]

I like them with silver Lunars more than gold Lunars, but the gold looks good, too!  Mistra x F Iri is fantastic, and I also love EluxLucis (any M/F combo).  Both of those were on my to-breed list immediately after last year's Iridichis grew up. 

 

I don't do Hallo x Hallo combos normally, but a friend did Iri x SW and they look great together - I think they'll look even better in later gens, where the contrast will stand out more obviously with repetition. 

 

My AP-discovery oddball-never-expected-to-love-that combo was Iri x Wisteria.  Never would have thought of it myself, but it's so pretty!
