Exploring Crown Tundra

Introduction

Crown Tundra is the second part of the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass. It is a beautiful, snowy region filled with various Pokémon waiting to be explored.

Getting There

Before you can explore Crown Tundra, you must download and install the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass. Once you have done that, head to Wedgehurst Station and speak to the NPC standing near the train tracks. He will give you a Crown Pass which will allow you to travel to Crown Tundra.

The Storyline

The storyline of Crown Tundra revolves around an adventure to uncover legendary Pokémon in the region. You will meet with Peony, a legendary explorer who will guide you throughout your journey. Along the way, you will encounter various challenges and battles you must overcome to progress through the storyline.

Exploration

The best part of Crown Tundra is exploring the region to catch new Pokémon. You will encounter creatures that only appear in the snowy area, so make sure you come prepared. The region is vast and offers many areas to explore such as caves, forests, and frozen lakes.

Conclusion

Crown Tundra is a must-play for anyone who loves Pokémon Sword and Shield. The beautiful scenery coupled with the fun gameplay mechanics makes for an unforgettable experience. Make sure you come prepared and be ready for an adventure of a lifetime!

Max Raid Battles

Max Raid Battles are a new feature introduced in the Crown Tundra DLC. They allow players to team up with up to three other trainers to take on powerful Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon in special battles. These battles can be accessed by approaching a glowing Raid Den found in various locations across the Crown Tundra.

To participate in a Max Raid Battle, players must first have a Wishing Piece. This item can be obtained by completing various tasks throughout the Crown Tundra, or by purchasing it at the Watt Trader found in any Pokemon Center. Once at a Raid Den, use a Wishing Piece to activate the battle.

Max Raid Battles can be challenging, as the Pokemon you will face will be much stronger than their wild counterparts. However, if you manage to defeat the raid boss, you will have the chance to catch it. Additionally, Max Raid Battles have a chance to drop valuable items, such as Rare Candies and TRs.

Be sure to check the current Max Raid Battle schedule, as different Pokemon will be available at different times. Some are only available on certain days of the week and at specific times, so plan accordingly.

Dynamax Adventures

Dynamax Adventures is a new feature in the Crown Tundra DLC where players can team up with three other trainers to explore Max Raid Dens and battle Dynamax Pokemon. The goal is to reach the end and capture the Legendary Pokemon waiting there.

Each player selects one rental Pokemon to bring with them and can switch it out with any Pokemon they catch along the way. However, players cannot use items during battles, so they need to rely on careful strategy and teamwork to succeed.

If all four trainers are knocked out during a Dynamax Adventure, the expedition will end and any Pokemon captured up to that point will be lost. But if players make it to the end and defeat the Legendary Pokemon, they have a chance to catch it and add it to their collection.

Dynamax Adventures also offer a chance to catch rare, shiny Pokemon. There is a 1 in 300 chance of encountering a shiny Pokemon during a Dynamax Adventure, making it a great opportunity for trainers who are looking to add some sparkle to their team.

Crown Tundra Pokedex and New Pokemon

Completing the Crown Tundra Pokedex

If you’re looking to collect all the new Pokemon added in the Crown Tundra, you’ll need to explore the region thoroughly. Be sure to talk to every NPC you come across to receive hints about where to find certain Pokemon, and make use of your new Legendary Clue items to track down the elusive Calyrex and its horse companions.

You’ll also want to make use of the Max Lair in order to catch the new legendary Pokemon added in the Crown Tundra. This facility gives you the opportunity to battle and catch these powerful Pokemon alongside other trainers, offering a unique cooperative gameplay experience.

Crown Tundra Side Quests and Secrets

The Legendary Clue?

During your journey in the Crown Tundra, you might come across a side quest called “The Legendary Clue?” given by Peony. This quest will take you on a long journey to find different clues and artifacts scattered throughout the tundra. These clues will ultimately lead you to one of the legendary Pokémon from previous generations.

Make sure your Pokémon are well-trained before embarking on this quest, as some battles can prove to be tough.

The Rusted Sword and Shield

If you own the DLC expansion pass for Pokémon Sword and Shield, you will have access to two new legendary Pokémon – Zacian and Zamazenta. These Pokémon can now be caught in the Crown Tundra if you have completed the main story.

To catch these powerful beasts, you need to first obtain the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. These items can be obtained by completing certain side quests or by trading with other players.

Once you have the Rusted Sword and Shield, you will then need to head to specific locations in the Crown Tundra to catch Zacian and Zamazenta respectively.

Galarian Star Tournament

Once you have completed the Crown Tundra main story, you will unlock a new battle tournament called the Galarian Star Tournament. This tournament features some of the toughest trainers from both Sword and Shield versions of the game, as well as characters from the main story and other DLC expansions.

Winning this tournament will award you with valuable items and rewards, including rare Pokémon and items that cannot be obtained anywhere else.

Regi-Pokémon Puzzle

In the Crown Tundra, you will be able to find three new Regi-Pokémon – Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. To catch these Pokémon, you will need to solve a series of puzzles in their respective temples.

Make sure to bring Pokémon that can learn specific moves, such as Dig or Flash, as you will need them to progress through the temples and solve the puzzles.
