While the hints have changed, the opposites are still incompatible for breeding. For instance (to test this): I selected Plant Rift on one side and as soon as I did Metal Rift was grayed out as incompatible. The same happened with Fire Rift and Cold Rift.

As for breeding, it's all random. When I was trying for Malachite/Ironwood I tried Spore and Plant Rift and eventually got an Ironwood. After trying a lot with that combo to get Malachite, I just switched out Plant Rift for Metal Rift. You just have to try different combos, switch things around. I also got a few opposite hybrids when I bred with four different elements. Like Fire/Earth and Cold/Air.
