This regal Pokémon is revered for its ability to cultivate lush forests and bring prosperity to the land. Calyrex itself is a small, humanoid Pokémon with a large head, but it is most famously depicted riding one of its steeds, Spectrier or Glastrier, forming its Ice Rider or Shadow Rider forms. Shadow Rider Calyrex, specifically, is formed when Calyrex merges with Spectrier, the Ghost-type steed. This form emphasizes speed and spectral power, traversing dimensions and moving with incredible swiftness. Its lore often speaks of its past reign over Galar, where it brought bountiful harvests and peace. In the games, players can choose which steed Calyrex merges with, impacting its type and abilities. Its unique fusion mechanic and compelling backstory make it a memorable addition to the Legendary Pokémon roster, deeply integrated into the lore of the Galar region’s history and ecology.
