Grog76: What you got with what combo only proves that it's possible but says nothing about the chance. Other topics have loads of posts similarly stating that thisandthat combo works great because they got diamond on first try with it. Including statements about doing it at a certain time, clicking in a special way or perhaps dance naked on the table and eat a tablespoon of pepper before breeding because "I did so and that worked for me".

JoBor67: Interesting point about avoiding Infinity. Also this "chance to get a Diamond is the same..." Are you sure it is? I assume a combo that can give Infinity as well might halve the chance to get diamond but I'm not sure. Is it the same chance no matter what results you can have?

Another post stated that chance is 64% for commons, 26% for rares, 9% for super rares and 1% for ultras (unfortunately no source reference), which would mean whatever gives the shortest fail combos would be best (which one would that be?), but how would the chance change is one type is missing (eg no super rare combos at all)? If the post was correct my guess is that the percentage for the missing type would be added to the type below (in this case boosting the chance for rares to 35%), which would mean that it'd always be 1% chance for diamond as long as you avoid that wizard dragon. But I'm not sure.

I got my diamond, at least. Didn't bother to remember what combo gave it. But it made things a lot more interesting, quickly giving me crusader, quetzal & infinity. Plus (with some luck) unicorn, gold and icicle.

Still interested in how the breeding chance works, but for everyone who desperately wants the diamond one, I guess my advice would be to aim for other things they want, with combos that has the chance to give diamond... and pray for luck.
