The Crown Tundra, (Japanese: カンムリせつげん Crown Snowfield), historically known as the Crown Plains, is a snow-swept realm in the Galar region featured in The Crown Tundra expansion. It is located south of Postwick.

Design concept

Main article: Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Galar

The Crown Tundra is based on Scotland. The landmass is rotated 180° together with the Galar region itself, compared to real-world Great Britain. Therefore, the Crown Tundra is the southernmost part of Galar while Scotland is the northernmost country of the United Kingdom.

The design of the Crown Tundra is heavily inspired by the history and landscape of Edinburgh, capital of Scotland. The Crown Shrine is based on the Edinburgh Castle. Freezington, the area's gateway and major settlement, resembles typical villages found in the Scottish Highlands.

History

Undated history

• At some point, the Crown Tundra was a barren and uninhabitable land, but still, somehow a few humans were able to live there.
• One day, Calyrex was found by the group of humans in the Crown Tundra, the Pokémon was heavily injured, but after gaining its trust, the humans took care of it and healed it back to its full strength, it emitted a dazzling, blue light. In gratitude for the humans, Calyrex used its powers to turn the frozen Tundra they lived in, into a habitable land filled with lush and rich soil, which would be named the Crown Plains. This allowed the people to thrive successfully there. Since then, the Crown Tundra's people started worshiping Calyrex and referring to it as the Crown Tundra's king, Calyrex then gained the titled of "The King of Bountiful Harvests".
• At some point, Calyrex saved its worshipers once again, this time from a ruffian, known as the Crown Tundra's lord, Glastrier/Spectrier that terrorized the Crown Tundra, before it was defeated and conquered by the King Pokémon, forcing it to become Calyrex's steed.
• This caused Calyrex's worshipers to start a tradition giving it an offering each year, these being Reins of Unity, crafted using a Radiant Flower and a mane hair of its steed, Black Mane Hair/White Mane Hair, bonding Calyrex to them.
• At some point, the humans built the Crown Shrine, giving both Calyrex and Glastrier/Spectrier a home.
• Many years after that, humans started to slowly forget about Calyrex, greatly weakening it as its powers are dependent on its worshiper's faith on it. As Calyrex kept growing weaker, its steed eventually abandoned it, leaving the king with a mere fraction of its power. Eventually Calyrex was only seen as legends and fairy tales by the inhabitants of Freezington.
• At some point, Regieleki and Regidrago were both sealed away within the Split-Decision Ruins.
• At some point, the Galarian Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres started to migrate to Crown Tundra's Dyna Tree once in 10 years to eat its fruits and then battle each other for the right to eat the Dyna Tree's fruits.

The weather determines which wild Pokémon can appear, and it may cause certain weather conditions and terrain to appear in battle. Sandstorm is the only kind of weather not present on the Crown Tundra. Special dates listed below are known dates where the entire region will be forced to have the exact same weather condition.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

The Crown Tundra first appeared in The Homecoming Crown!. While Ash, Goh, and Chloe traveled there to inspect reports of an unknown Pokémon being sighted in the area, Lillie and her family located her missing father Mohn there. The two groups ended up meeting at a remote house, where Mohn had been living ever since a Shiny Nihilego had rescued him from Ultra Deep Sea, believing the Ultra Beast to be Lillie. Once Mohn's real memories had been restored, he reunited with his family and invited Nihilego to come with them.

In Chasing to the Finish!, Goh revisited the Crown Tundra in order to participate in his last Project Mew Trial Mission at the Split-Decision Ruins. On the site, he was joined by Gary, and they succeeded in completing the mission by catching Regieleki and Regidrago.

Sword & Shield arc

The Crown Tundra was first mentioned in Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry. Following the disappearance of Henry and the Rusted Sword and Shield after the battle against Eternatus, Casey was able to figure out that one of the artifacts had wound up at the Crown Tundra, though she was unsure if Henry was there too or at the Isle of Armor.

Hop, Bede, and Marnie subsequently headed to the Crown Tundra in order to try to find the Rusted Sword and Shield. Upon arriving, they met a man named Peony, and took his daughter Peonia's place in investigating the local legends while conducting their own search on the side. During one of these expeditions, an encounter with the Galarian legendary birds resulted in Hop winding up on the Isle of Armor and Marnie to wind up on Route 6. Soon afterwards, Henry arrived on the Crown Tundra with Galarian Moltres and joined Peony's expedition team in Hop's place, while Marnie's place was taken by Peonia, who had changed her mind about joining the team.

The expedition team ended up helping Calyrex, a Pokémon revered in the local legends as the King of Bountiful Harvests, to reunite with its steed, Spectrier. At the same time, the Darkest Day started again and Henry managed to find the Rusted Sword. Having already found the Rusted Shield on the Isle of Armor, he contacted Casey's group and told them to meet him in Slumbering Weald.
