Pokemon SwordandShieldplayers have been prepping for icy expeditions with the arrival of the new Crown Tundra DLC Passes. Now that the new Galarian region is open for exploration, Pokemon Trainers can finally capture exciting new Legendary Pokemon, like the mysterious nature-loving Calyrex.
At first capture, Calyrex will be fused with anotherPokemon SwordandShieldLegendary Pokemon, but thankfully, players are able to separate and rejoin these Pokemon as they see fit. Using the Reins of Unity item allows players to switch between Calyrex’s potential forms.

To capture Calyrex, Pokemon Trainers essentially have to helpreunite the mythic deer-bunny with one of its long lost Legendary Horse Pokemon. Players will find themselves helping Freezington’s Peony on a quest to save a weakened Calyrex, which eventually culminates in the opportunity to capture either Ice Rider, or Shadow Rider Calyrex, depending on the chosen Legendary steed.
Upon capture, players will also find the Reins of Unity item (given by Peony) in their Key Items pocket. This appropriately named item also happens to be the key to uniting (and separating)Calyrex and either Glastrier or Spectrier.
To separate Calyrex from Glastrier or Spectrier, simply follow these steps:
Pokemonveterans may recall similar methods being employed byLegendaries like Shaymin or Hoopa, who change forms with the help of a special Key Item, but even if not, the game makes it clear that the Reins of Unity directly affect Calyrex. The ability to choose between the powerful Pokemon’s forms is indispensable for Trainers hoping to team up with any of these new legends, and needless to say, it’s great that the Reins of Unity are incredibly easy to obtain.
Rather than having tosolve another Crown Tundra Legendary Pokemon puzzle, or chase Legendary Birds across Galar, players can simply capture Calyrex and take advantage of its full potential immediately thereafter. Once teamed up with Calyrex, players will certainly want to check out the above mentioned Legendary features as well. With a powerful Psychic-type like Calyrex, tracking down and defeating powerhouses like Regirock should be no sweat for Pokemon Trainers.
