Calyrex (Japanese:バドレックスBudrex) is a dual-typePsychic/GrassLegendary Pokémon introduced duringGeneration VIII, inThe Crown Tundra.

While it is not known toevolve into or from any other Pokémon, Calyrex hastwo forms, which are achieved when itmounts one of two Pokémon using theReins of Unity.

(Refer toGame data→Form data for more details.)

Calyrex is thegame mascot ofThe Crown Tundra, appearing on the boxart of thePokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass in its base form. It is the last Pokémon in theCrown Tundra Pokédex.

Biology

Calyrex's statue inFreezington

Calyrex is a bipedalPokémon with legs approximately twice as long as its torso. Four prongs grow from its head to support a green, transparent bud resembling a type of crown, much larger than its head. Inside the crown-shaped head is a white pistil at the center. A ring of green spheres, marked with an inlaid series of blue and white triangles, adorns its neck. The crown-like bud on Calyrex's head glows bright green when it uses its powers.

Calyrex is said to have ruled all ofGalar in ancient times as a merciful king. Despite its delicate and slight appearance, it can move with grace and dignity. It is known to be highly intelligent; Calyrex is one of the few Pokémon able to fluently understand andspeak human language via telepathy, the latter only possible when it is at its full power however. It can also take control of ahuman's body in order to communicate when it is in a weakened state. It also has the power to see the past, present, and future of any kind when at full power.[1] Onelegend said Calyrex used its foresight ability to save creatures of a forest from a meteor one time. A fairy tale even mentions Calyrex stealing the body of a human that causes mischief.

Calyrex is known as the "King of Bountiful Harvests" by theCrown Tundra's inhabitants due to its role in bringing lush vegetation and harvests yearly. Its right hand can cause the land to be covered in verdant grass and blooms, while its left hand allows it to make fields of fruit ripen and become heavy. Calyrex can grow eitherIceroot orShaderoot Carrots, depending on the field whereCarrot Seeds are planted on, with a special dance. Calyrex can also create theRadiant Petal needed for theReins of Unity, and with enough energy, even a complete flower. It can provide healings or blessings such as mending the heart. While it shows no mercy to those that stand in its way, it will heal the wounds of a foe afterwards. Calyrex is powerful enough to move an entire forest and its Pokémon to a new location. InMunch Munch!! The Mysterious Carrot, it's revealed that Calyrex was present during the firstDarkest Day, where it metEternatus for the first time.

Forms

Calyrex has two alternate forms: Ice Rider Calyrex and Shadow Rider Calyrex, which are formed by uniting withGlastrier andSpectrier, respectively.

When it is riding either Glastrier or Spectrier using theReins of Unity, it regains its once lost full power and original form, causing the green fur on Calyrex's arms and back to extend, resembling a white and green cape. Calyrex's crown-like bud on its head glows bright green constantly while in this form.

Calyrex has the power to tame and ride on Glastrier or Spectrier using the Reins of Unity. This allows it to be at its full power and potential once again like it was before losing the faith of the humans. Calyrex also can heighten Glastrier's or Spectrier's power with its psychic energy, which in turn allows its psychic powers to manifest up to a 30-mile (50 km) radius. When riding either Glastrier or Spectrier, Calyrex ran all over Galar to bring green within the region's wastelands. It gets its powers from the faith of the people who worship it, and slowly loses its power if people start forgetting it or if Glastrier or Spectrier abandon it.

In both of its forms, Calyrex is theonly known Pokémon that can haveAs One as anAbility.

Ice Rider Calyrex

When riding Glastrier, Calyrex can can emit a cold temperature up to −500 °F (−300 °C).[2] Glastrier's endurance also increases to the point it can run up to seven days and nights. This allows Ice Rider Calyrex to smash and freeze anything in its path no matter the difficulty of the road. It can use its psychic power to transform Glastrier's intense cold into gigantic icicles and fire them like arrows orwield them like lances when charging at foes. The icicles are powerful enough to blow holes in rocky mountains and pass through completely.[3]

Ice Rider Calyrex is theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the moveGlacial Lance.

Shadow Rider Calyrex

When riding Spectrier, it becomes swift enough to run a thousand miles within a single day. The strength of Spectrier's spectral power also increases. Shadow Rider Calyrex can infuse Spectrier with its psychic powers in order to create countless small will-o'-the-wisps.It uses the wisps to rain down on others like meteors before it steals the opponent's life-force with burning heat. It can also transform the steed's spectral aura into a black mass which absorbs the life-force and souls of any being's energy like a black hole.[4][5]

Shadow Rider Calyrex is theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the moveAstral Barrage.

ByTM

Due to an oversight, all Calyrex forms retain TM moves introduced inThe Teal Mask andThe Indigo Disk, even if separated or fused via theReins of Unity. Specifically:Pain Split,Roar,High Horsepower,Icicle Spear,Throat Chop,Lash Out, andCurse.

Despite this,Haze andDouble-Edge will be forgotten as usual, due to them also being present in the learnset vialevel-up.

Form data

Calyrex has two alternate forms, Ice Rider Calyrex and Shadow Rider Calyrex, which were introduced inThe Crown Tundra expansion forPokémon Sword and Shield. TheReins of Unity can be used to combine Calyrex with eitherGlastrier orSpectrier, with the former resulting in its Ice Rider form and the latter its Shadow Rider form; the sameitem can also be used to undo the fusion and revert Calyrex to its standard form. When Calyrex is merged with eitherPokémon, it is removed from the player'sparty until the fusion is undone. Both fused forms have theAbilityAs One, which combines Calyrex'sUnnerve with either Glastrier'sChilling Neigh or Spectrier'sGrim Neigh.

Ice Rider Calyrex is the result of combining with Glastrier and is dual-typePsychic/Ice. After fusing, Calyrex will learnGlacial Lance. Itscry is a combination of regular Calyrex and Glastrier's cries.

Shadow Rider Calyrex is the result of combining with Spectrier and is dual-typePsychic/Ghost. After fusing, Calyrex will learnAstral Barrage. Its cry is a combination of regular Calyrex and Spectrier's cries.

The forms differ inbase stats and learn differentmoves from each other. If Calyrex separates from Glastrier or Spectrier, it will forget Glacial Lance or Astral Barrage, along with any other moves it knows that Calyrex can't learn in its base form. If this process would leave Calyrex without any moves, it will learnConfusion.

If Calyrex is combined with Glastrier or Spectrier, it cannot betraded,released, or deposited intoPokémon HOME. Due to this and the mechanics of the Reins of Unity, it is only possible to have a single mounted Calyrex at a time.

Origin

Calyrex may be based on anarctic hare and acrown. The large bulbs on its head and around its neck resemble berries or flower buds. It also bears some resemblance to fictional taxidermy creations, such as the Americanjackalope or the Germanwolpertinger. Itsbeads around its neck each bear theHōjō clan symbol. Conceptually, it may be based on pre-Victorian depictions offairies andelves, or any one of a number ofhorned deities from various European pagan religions, such asCernunnos orHerne the Hunter.

It may also reference the idea of the king in checkers or chess. Furthermore, its silhouette is reminiscent of athistle, the floral emblem of Scotland, which is the real-world location the Crown Tundra is based on. Its fusion forms appear to be a reference to cavalry, or the folklore of theWild Hunt. Calyrex might possibly representOrion orLepus, the "hare" constellation located right below Orion, what corresponds to Glastrier and Spectrier which could be based on theHorsehead Nebula near Orion.

Name origin

Calyrex may be a combination ofcalyx (Latin for bud) andrex (Latin for king) orcarex. It may also incorporatecavalry, referring to its ability to mountGlastrier orSpectrier.

Budrex may be a combination ofbud andrex (Latin for king).
