Your favorite Gym Leaders are back, and they're not alone! This new mode has players team up with in-game characters to take down Galarian Gym Leaders in a Double Battle rematch.
This mode pits a group of four players against challenging Dynamax Pokemon in their home turf of Pokemon Dens. Instead of your regular Pokemon Team, players will choose Rental Pokemon to explore the depths of these dens!
A new item called the Ability Patch has been revealed! Using this item changes the Pokemon's ability to its Hidden Ability. This new item will definately save time when breeding for competitive Pokemon!
Ability Patch Effect and How to Get It
In the Crown Tundra, some returning Pokemon can learn new moves which were introduced in the Sword and Shield base game and The Isle of Armor! Learn who's got a leg up in the new generation!
In this expansion, you'll have a chance to change your look with over one hundred new clothing items. This feature will be available in both expansions (The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra).
Outfits based on Marnie and Rose from the base game were introduced in the Isle of Armor expansion, so we're looking forward to seeing what new appearances will be available in The Crown Tundra.

Like Galarian Slowbro, which made its appearance in The Isle of Armor, Galarian Slowking has been revealed to debut in The Crown Tundra. Sharing the same Poison/Psychic typing, it learns a new signature Move, Eerie Spell, and plays host to a new signature Ability as well, Curious Medicine.

Calyrex | |
---|---|
Type 1 | Type 2 |
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.
Glastrier | |

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?

All Pokemon in the Expansion Pass DLC
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.

How to Get to The Crown Tundra
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.

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.
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.
