Hello friends! I have a question I was hoping someone with a little experience in the area might be able to answer.
I have a dragon with the iridescent/shimmer gene combo.
I'm currently saving up to buy genes for her mate. I want to do clown/eye-spot for him, however...
Since gem genes are more rare than treasure genes, what are the approximate odds of any of the offspring inheriting shimmer or iridescent?
Would you predict that MOST/ALL of their offspring would end up clown/eye-spot?
Would I ever feasibly end up with a hatchling that has shimmer/iridescent?
I would like to make an informed decision so I don't do something I regret!

I believe that the ratio is 1/4 of the hatchlings would have the gem genes.

Thank you! I will definitely keep that in mind before I make my final decision!

Not sure if my numbers are right here, but in my personal experiments I found that around 15% of my hatchlings inherited iridescent or shimmer as opposed to the other genes. With those numbers, the chances of getting a hatchling with both iridescent AND shimmer from such a pair would be about 2.25%... so pretty abysmally low.
Even if the chance of shimmer or iri showing up over other genes is as high as 25%, the probability of getting both on a hatchling would still be about 6.25%. Still pretty low.

Yikes, so it would be like winning the genetic lottery, literally. Alright; I may just save up the little bit of extra needed to get shimmer and iri for her mate, too, since I don't want those countless hours of puzzles to have been for nothing.
Thanks for your help!!

Basic Vs 5 Star gene - 30% gened, 70% basic
Basic Vs Cash shop gene - 5% gened, 95% basic
5 Star gene vs cash shop gene - 12% cash shop, 88% treasure (5 star)
Based on sample pools of 672 to 716 baby previews.
So the odds of getting a shimmer/iri out of shimmer/iri x clown/eyespot is about 1.4% ... not very good.
