I've seen a few old forum threads talking about the rarest dragons with their colors and genes, and I want to get some updated info about rare dragons.
Also, Im fairly new to all the FR terms and vocab lmao since I havent been active for a year or so.

'Rarest' just means that specific combination of colors and/or genes isn't particularly common. No dragon will end up staying 'rare,' however, since every single combination of colors/genes can and will end up being bred at some point!
Some of the uncommon combinations from older threads are probably quite common now!

To be honest, with the site as populated as it is, I'm not sure there are rare colors or genes anymore-- but there are certainly desirable ones!
With this size of community every dragon on the site is probably someone's idea of a great-looking dragon, but generally speaking, gem genes are considered more desirable than treasure genes, and colors that are either very light, very dark, or very saturated tend to do pretty well (pastels in general are also popular).
What is new and might interest you is eye types. Eye types are randomized on every dragon so you can't breed for them, and some of them (e.g. primal) are -very- rare.

[font=georgia][color=#611E5B]@sadcreme there are many factors that would make a dragon "rare," including but not limited to a special ID, unique colors, being born on a special day, double/triple gen1s, etc.
i have a dragon with 100% unique colors, active or exalted

i also have a g1 dragon with nice colors, 2 gem genes, and born on new year's day, which makes her pretty rare

i also have a dragon that only recently became rare—he has a 2-letter name. just a few months ago staff made it so you couldn't name a dragon unless it was 3 letters or more, but i named this one before they made that rule

but in the end, rarity all depends on the player and almost every single dragon is beautiful in its own way! one man's trash is another man's treasure, after all.

I dunno about rare color combos in general, but I do have one of the few Gold/Crimson/Crimson Crystal/Facet/Glimmer Imp breeding pairs on site (partially because they're pretty much all related and I got lucky when I got them).

[color=green]Rarity on a site like FR is pretty ambiguous... with so many colour and gene combinations, I'd say most dragons on the site (besides those with really popular colours and genes) are probably unique. What makes something rare, when [i]everything[/i] is rare? :D
Though of all my dragons I'd say Palla is pretty damn rare. They're the only active jungle/jungle/sable dragon on the site (and there's only four other exalted ones), the only dragon [i]ever[/i] with that colour-gene combo, is G1 and has primal eyes. They are my most special bab and I love them. <33

The only things that can be permanently rare would be things that are limited by site mechanics - i.e. there can only be one dragon per ID, so dragons with single number IDs (e.g. #4444444) are always going to be rare. Dragons with two-letter names will become increasingly rare as time passes. Non-progen G1 Imperials are already really fricking rare, and will only become more so as people who own them go inactive.
And if you're looking for a G1 of a specific colour... well, you'll quickly learn how rare any particular combo is when each hatchling is randomly generated! It is oof.
