Pocket Frogs Chroma Breeding Combinations

Here are some of the breeding combinations of frogs that have been personally verified by me to yield the Chroma pattern color:

Black Viola Anura + Black Ceres Velatus = Black Chroma Velatus


Black Viola Velatus + Royal Muscus Crustalli = Royal Chroma Velatus
Black Pruni Puncti + Glass Carota Roboris = Black Chroma Roboris
Black Viola Velatus + Black Ceres Anura = ? Chroma ?
Maroon Ceres Puncti + Black Floris Anura = ? Chroma ?

If you find any more combinations, be sure to post it here in the comments section. Thanks!

Pocket Frogs FAQs, Strategy Guide, Tips and Tricks



Pocket Frogs [AppStore] is a free iOS game where you breed, tame and catalog frogs. Posted below are some strategies, tips and tricks culled from the interwebs that will hopefully assist you in getting the most enjoyment out of playing this pretty addicting game.

Gameplay
You begin with a couple of frogs with different colors and patterns, and you can mix and match to dozens of individual features and tens of thousands of possible combinations.
The lifespan of a frog: Frogs are born into your nursery. For the first portion of their lives, they are eggs. Their specific breed is a mystery to you until they hatch. They hatch as babies, which can't be bred. You can then move them out of the nursery into another habitat and let them grow. You can take them to the Pond, where you can hop around and eat dragonflies so they'll grow faster and be tamed (wild frogs also can't be bred). You might find awesome presents in the pond. If you are impatient, you can use a potion to mature the frog instantly and get back to hot frog breeding action. Once they're mature, you can send them to friends, breed them, or catalog them.

Tips Collected So Far

Tip #1 After your baby frog has hatched - take him to the pond, hop around and eat flies - he'll be mature real soon (each fly takes away about one minute of it's mature time). Also the bigger the fly, the more the time to mature is reduced.

Tip #2 A new frog will not contain a color or pattern that does not appear on at least one of the parents.The only exception to this is the base color - sometimes breeding two frogs with different base color together there is a small chance that the new frog will have a glass body. 

Tip #3 One of the easier and less involved ways to make some extra money is to keep two copies of your most expensive frog and then breed them. If you want to make a little extra, keep a habitat with lots of +happiness items and move the frogs into there for a while before you sell. While they're sitting in there getting happier, you can have another set of 8 in egg form. Rinse and repeat. 

Tip #4 Cross breed level 1 frogs with level 7 frogs gives you 300+ xp each time. If you have the coins, you can always just sell the eggs for a lost and keep breeding. 

Tip #5 If you look at the value and level of the egg you can pretty much predict what kind of frog is going to hatch. Maybe not the color but certainly the breed. This is especially easy if you are breeding two different leveled frogs.

Tip # 6 Breeding, taming frogs and completing Award  Challenges earns you xp. Completing Award Challenges is the best way to powerlevel. Each time you level, you earn stamps, potions, coins and unlock new frog patterns.

Tip #7 Breeding cost determines the amount of xp you get when you start breeding. For example, you will get 31 xp if it costs 31 coins to breed.

Tip #8 Store unique colored Anuras in the Catalog and only keep unique patterns in your habitats.

Tips for solving the Pocket Frogs Puzzle Mini-game First count how many frogs you have of each color. Six fit on a side, so often six-of-a-kind can be put together down one side. Counting colors also gives you an idea of how many split lines you're going to have. (Seven has to be four and three, etc.)

Put all your colors together in groups. Then you can start manipulating the groups, rearranging them as needed so that everything fits. Don't worry about getting the frogs' alignment correct until you have the groups the way you want them, then it's just a matter of a little hopping back and forth to get everyone facing the right way.

Habitat effect on frog happiness
Each frog gains about half a percent from each point of scenery happiness, they also gain happiness from each other frog in the tank. They gain this happiness over time.

Hatching time
The time it takes to hatch is 10% of the total time. So 10 hours would be 1 hr or 30 mins would take 3 mins.

Breeding
In Pocket Frogs, there are 14,000+ different breeds you can collect, create and share. Each breed is determined by three genetic attributes: Base Color, Pattern Color, and a Pattern. The name of the breed is given by the names of the attributes used to create the frog, eg Green Voila Marmorea. There are 23 base colors, 15 pattern colors and 40 patterns. Patterns become unlocked as the player levels up.

Base Colors:
Aqua, Azure, Beige, Black, Blue, Cocos, Emerald, Glass, Golden, Green, Lime, Marine, Maroon, Olive, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Royal, Tangelo, Violet, White, Yellow

Pattern Colors:
Albeo, Aurum, Bruna, Caelus, Cafea, Callaina, Carota, Ceres, Floris, Folium, Muscus, Picea, Pruni, Tingo, Viola

Here's a visual guide for the base and pattern colors as posted on robotfairy.

    Am I a talker or a doer?

    If I'm going to accomplish anything in life, it pays to be a doer. How can I do this by sitting in front of my computer playing games all day long instead of implementing the ideas percolating inside my brain. I have to seize the day and make every moment count. I'm not getting any younger and I have to make the most of what I have right here, right now. Okay enough of this talk, I'll end this post to act right now and get things done!

    {I was inspired to write this after reading this excellent post in getrichslowly}
