Backflip may get around to making rare dragon boosts and shrines or some other method of enhancing the rare dragons in a future update, it is a bit sad that a level 15 double boosted Panlong can earn more than a max level Rainbow.

According to the description Rainbow dragon is the "rarest dragon in the game" and backflip has no reason to lie to us but random chance means that some people just end up getting the less likely option easier. In terms of the actual chances involved would be better to think of it a bit like rolling 3 dice, If Rainbow required 18 (3 sixes), Sun required 16 or 17 (2 sixes and a five or 2 fives and a six), Moon required 15 (A six a five and a four or 3 fives) and all the remaining numbers represented the other possible combinations you would have a pretty good approximation of how it works. And just like it's possible for someone to roll 18 one or more times without getting 15, 16 or 17 it's also possible to get the Rainbow dragon without ever the Sun/Moon.

The other reason that rainbow might seem more common is because it can be bred with any combination of 4 or more different elements, meaning that every time you breed those combo's you have a chance of getting one, while Sun/Moon need Cold&Lightning to be bred meaning that only those combo's which include those 2 elements give you a chance.
