Moreover, we shall offer some information on how best you can take advantage of the Pearl Dragon in DragonVale, as well as how this dragon fits into the overall game.
AppearanceAesthetic perspective
Perhaps one of the most distinguishing attributes of the Pearl Dragon is its aesthetic beauty design which draws inspiration from the Pearl jewelry that happens to be the birthstone of the month of June. The dragon is made up of soft colors mixing the ethereal characteristics of a pearl, a pearl shaped dragon covered in a soft glossy shell and smooth colors of the scales that shimmer in different faint colors.
Color Palette: The Pearl Dragon is predominantly soft white and pastel shades with pearlescent finish. Its scale refracts light in a way that gives the impression of a faint rainbow coloring typical of the opal shells. This delicate outline makes it different from a majority of the dragons which sport bright and very colorful outlooks.
Body Structure: The Pearl Dragon is hy bodied and wide as that is how a fresh water pearl looks. Simple spiral horns embellish the dragon’s head and its wings are translucent similar to the linings found on a pearl’s shell. This classiness and grace associated with the Pearl Dragon makes it a suitable and appealing character for every player’s park.
Animation: The animations for the Pearl Dragon encompass its elegance and fluid movement. Also, when idle, this dragon simply hovers a little above the ground while fidgeting and spinning finesse in the air with its body swaying up and down in a wave motion. In addition, such calm and slow, almost frozen in motion, characteristics add to the beauty of the dragon making it a decorative figure in addition to being a vigorous one.
Pearl Dragon’s Breeding Process
One of the most enjoyable yet difficult features about DragonVale is Pearl Dragon Breeding. Because she is a Gemstone Dragon, specific dates for her breeding have been stated and this is usually done during the month of June considering the fact that June is her birthstone month.
Breeding Prerequisites:
Accessibility: Only limited in June can the Pearl Dragon be bred because it is a seasonal dragon. One cannot add it in the collection if the breeding cycle is missed, even if it is for a few days because it may take upto an year to breed it again.
Breeding Pair: In regards to the breeding of the Pearl Dragon, a combination of Water and Light dragon is required. A number of different combinations are therefore possible, but not every combination produces a Pearl Dragon as it is a luck based breeding of gemstone dragons.
Bettered Versions: Any pair containing Water and Light element dragons can potentially result in the hatching of the Pearl Dragon, but some pairings tend to be better than others. The popular breeding pair is the Crystal Dragon (Light) and the Seaweed Dragon (Water). Another breeding pair that is greatly endorsed is the Snow Dragon (Water) along with the Frostfire Dragon (Water + Light). Keeping high level dragons helps increase your chances of success and using different couplings over the breed time also helps to improve your chances of success.
Breeding Time: In the event that you are able to breed and get a successful Pearl Dragon, he comes with a very long incubation period of approximately 30 hours. It is however, possible to cut this waiting duration by applying some gems although most of the players prefer waiting for the entire incubation caused by breeding so as not to waste any resources.
Limited Availability and Rarity:
Whether because of the yearly limited-time availability of the Pearl Dragon or other factors, there seems to be an increasing demand for this dragon. It is also surprising to many players that they cannot breed this dragon all the time. In fact, this is one of the main reasons, making this dragon so popular and young owners of it fanatical. It takes time and commitment to own a Pearl Dragon, so it can redeem itself as a collection piece depending on the player’s willingness and patience, particularly if they are a fan of collecting all gemstone dragons.
Habitat and Housing
The hatchling of the Pearl Dragon is a Gemstone Dragon, hence after its hatching, the performer has to find a Gemstone Habitat for it. A difference is that a Dragonstone Habitat will hold only a few dragons and will not produce any coins. The dragons however, kept in such a habitat produce gems which is a very scarce and high value currency in DragonVale.
Gemstone Habitat:
Capacity: One Pearl Dragon or one any Gemstone dragon can enter a Gemstone Habitat, which implies that there must be a separate habitat for the Pearl Dragon.
Earning Capacity: The Pearl Dragon produces 1 gem after 30 days. Even though in comparison to dragon that earn coins this may be an unworthy value, after all gems are not very common and are of great worth hence making the Pearl Dragon a worthy one in the long run.
Costs of Habitats and Transformations: The value of a Gemstone Habitat is greater than that of regular constructions, yet it cannot be overemphasized how important it is for the players who want to gather a lot of dragons that produce gemstones. Particularly for visual purposes, upgrading your Gemstone Habitat to its maximum level makes your habitat more attractive and also increases the effectiveness of gem collection modestly.
Profitability
The most important part of the valuation of the Pearl Dragon lies in its ability to produce gems, which in DragonVale are essential for various premium options. Gems can also be spent to purchase certain Dragons or Decorations, or to reduce waiting (breeding/incubation times) periods. Therefore, in this context, a player owning a dragon capable of producing such resources, especially one unwilling to spend real money for the in-game currency, is highly advantageous.
Gems to Miss: Coins:
The Pearl Dragon does not generate ‘Coins’ like most dragons, which are generated based on the level and habitat of the dragon. Rather, it generates gems which are a scarce and hard to find resource in the game. While 1 gem per 30 days might look to be very negligible, it can actually accumulate over time, most especially with a number of gemstone generating dragons present in the park.
Gems through the Years Strategy:
If one intends to use the Pearl Dragon for the primary purpose of raising the resources in the form of gems, in order to make further purchases in the game or to shorten the waiting times, one should be prepared for a long struggle. The main purpose of the Pearl Dragon is not to amass a large fortune outright, but rather to drip-feed players with in-game currency. Doing so with other dragons which also produce gems will surely amplify your gem earning capacity.
Value of Games Played
Besides producing gems, the Pearl Dragon does not serve much purpose in breeding nor engaging in battles. Still, every player, whether a simple or a hardcore one, longs to have it for its scarcity, beauty, and ability to produce gems.
Reproductive Services:
While you cannot breed the Pearl Dragon with any other dragons (which is the case for all gemstone dragons), you can still utilize it in your park for the pure satisfaction of completing your collection. Like all other gemstone dragons collecting the pearl dragon is greatwork and can earn you some in-game rewards and social status within the Dragonvale fans.
Low Use in Competition:
In general, no, they are not taken to the coliseum along with other gem stone dragons, nor are they even taken for any inter-dragon races. Given that such dragons are mainly for generation of gems, the coliseum or similar battle events you are seeking for a dragon may be a different class of dragons. So, the Pearl Dragon is chiefly valuable because it earns in-game premium currency for you even though it is not able to do that actively.
Getting the Most Out of a Pearl Dragon
In order to enjoy a Pearl Dragon to the fullest, several tactics are available for implementation:
Several Other Gemstone Dragons:
One of the easiest and the most practical ways to make the best of your Pearl Dragon and the others is to find a home for them along with other gem stone dragons that you may have in your park. By building up and dedicating different collections of dragon/egg/gem including such gem earning dragons, you will easily boost your gem earnings and vivify this form of the premium currency generation.
Gemstone Periods:
There are also limited time periods in DragonVale when players can again participate in other activities to gain extra benefits which involve gathering certain sets of dragons or simply completing the event.

Aesthetics and Environments:

Most of the players prefer to design such areas in their parks where the theme is consistent. In those cases, the elegant design of the Pearl Dragon fits perfectly in a water or light themed zone.
