This is a sandbox to list datamine leaks and stated rumors for the upcoming Crown Tundra expansion for Pokémon Sword and Shield. This is not yet official information, and as such, as none of this is officially confirmed, this information is to be taken with a grain of salt until official information is revealed.
If you do not wish to know about this information prior to the expansion's official release, turn back now.
SPOILER ALERT
New Pokémon
In addition to the currently existing Pokémon, there are new Pokémon to be included with the following national Pokédex numbers in the code:
Glastrier and Spectrier are currently unrevealed Legendary Pokémon that appear to look like horses. They are Ice-type and Ghost-type respectively, and can bond with Calyrex to form Calyrex's Ice Rider and Shadow Rider forms. Glastrier's signature move is Glacial Lance, while Spectrier's signature move is Astral Barrage. Not much is known about these moves.
New Galarian Forms
The only known Galarian forms introduced in Crown Tundra are those of the Galarian legendary birds as well as Galarian Slowking.
Galarian Slowking is a Psychic / Poison type, with a signature ability known as Curious Medicine and a signature move in Eerie Spell, a Psychic-type attack that lowers the PP of the last move the target used by 3.
New Items
There are two new key items in the game data numbered 1590 and 1591 that have the same effect code as the DNA Splicers, N-Solarizer, and N-Lunarizer. This may suggest a fusion between Calyrex and the aforementioned unnamed horse Pokémon.
New Characters
Peony is a new confirmed character for Crown Tundra. A model exists for a female character who is presumed to be the daughter of Peony, as well as several other models for NPC Characters, including a village chief and two other unnamed NPCs.
Returning Pokémon
The following Pokémon are leaked to be returning due to having "scrubbed" Pokédex entries in the game data:
Crown Tundra Story Quest Chapters
Further datamines have suggested that the Crown Tundra story will be divided into four different chapters, each starring a set of Legendary Pokémon.
A Legendary Tree of a Legendary Three
This is the first chapter, starring the Galarian forms of the legendary birds
The Terrible Titans Lurking, Locked Away
This chapter focuses on the legendary giants, including the new Regieleki and Regidrago. It is currently unknown if Regigigas is involved,
They Came from the Ultra Beyond
Presumably, this will star the Ultra Beasts
The Sacred Bonds of Sovereign and Steed
A chapter focusing on Calyrex, as well as presumably the unnamed horse Legendary Pokémon.
Other Information
In addition, there is an additional event that stars the Swords of Justice, including Keldeo that is seemingly a reward for completing both the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra quests.
