Calyrex

Calyrex is a noble leader and a new Legendary Pokemon that will appear during your adventure in The Crown Tundra and plays a significant role in the game's story.

Also known as the "King of Bountiful Harvets" of myth and legend, the High King Pokemon was once known to bless the Crown Tundra with plentiful harvests, though only a few people remember such legends as actual truth! As a result, much of this legendary Pokemon's power has diminished.

Spectrier

Glastrier and Spectrier are Calyrex's fabled legendary steeds. Legends tell that the fabled High King Pokemon rode these steeds across the land, bringing lush vegetation and harvests yearly, though people are divided which one Calyrex actually rode.

Perhaps reuniting one of the Legendary Steeds will restore Calyrex's lost power?

New Story

The Crown of Tundra Map.jpg

The setting of your new adventure in The Crown Tundra will take place in a beautiful scenery of a snowy landscape. Having this DLC will give you a chance to explore a winter-themed area.

As opposed to The Isle of Armor's theme of Growth, The Crown Tundra's theme has been stated to be Exploration. It was also mentioned that both DLC locations will consistent entirely of expansive, fully-fledged Wild Areas. We can only wait and see just how deep the rabbit hole, or Pokemon Den, really goes!

How to Get to The Crown Tundra

Traveling with the explorer Peony

Peony.png
A new character introduced in The Crown Tundra, Peony is said to have brought his daughter along to search for information about the Legendary Pokemon said to inhabit the area. He's stated to be a bit of a brash character, but with a kind heart.

Two trees towering over the landscape

Although most screenshots of the game have shown fields covered in snow and ice, new footage has featured this brightly colored tree covered with fruit and surrounded by lush greenery. Far off in the distance, an icy deadened tree looms – this same tree is shown growing out of a church-like building in other official art.

The official trailer released on June 2nd also shows the player battling the Legendary Birds in front of the blossoming tree. This seems to imply that these two trees hold some relevance to the secrets of the Legendary Pokemon which Peony is looking for.

Visit Temples to capture each Regi Pokemon

3Regis.png

The player is shown traveling to three temples resembling each of the Regi Pokemon, then battling with them inside. Visiting each of these locations may be an important part of the player's quest, and enable them to encounter the new Pokemon Regieleki and Regidrago.
