Posted on November 6, 2020 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
The new Crown Tundra DLC for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield added new Legendary Pokemon to the mix. The full set has now been introduced: Glastrier, Spectrier, and Ice/Shadow Rider Calyrex.
Here’s the full rundown:
Players can also now discover new Legendary Pokémon within The Crown Tundra, as well as uncover the story behind the Legendary Pokémon Calyrex. Stories tell of a ruffian Pokémon that once reigned like a lord over the other Pokémon of the Crown Tundra. Time and again, it would grow enraged with humans who intruded on its territory, and it would hurt those humans and their Pokémon. But then the Legendary Pokémon Calyrex appeared and defeated the ruffian, which eventually bonded with the regal Pokémon and became its loyal steed.
Newly Discovered Legendary Pokémon

Ability: Chilling NeighGlastrier generates intense cold air within its body and emits that cold from its nose and hooves. This cold air covers its face and legs in unyielding ice, giving its attacks extraordinary destructive power. Nimble movements are not Glastrier’s strong suit, but it can use the cold exuded from its hooves to freeze the ground, letting it shoot off sliding across the ice to close distances in a flash during battle. Glastrier’s Ability, Chilling Neigh, is a new Ability introduced with the Pokémon Sword Expansion Pass and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass. When a Pokémon with this Ability knocks out a target, its Attack stat is boosted.

Atk stat is boosted.
