Doodledex - #898 Calyrex

If I remember correctly, I had a hard time fitting the lore for the other two Legendary Pokemon who changed forms by fusing with other Pokemon in their posts without making it absurdly long, so let’s see if I can get the cliffnotes version in here for Calyrex, whose whole existence in the DLC is just dripping with lore. *ahem*

A long time ago, Calyrex was regarded by the people of Galar as the King of Bountiful Harvests who ruled over the region and helped crops grow in an instant, traveling the land with its mighty steed. (Which is either Glastrier or Spectrier depending on what you do in the story... or, if one theory is to be believed, both were the same horse who had since froze to death. Morbid!) In recent years, its power has diminished due to it being separated from its steed and the people of the region forgetting it existed at all, thinking of Calyrex as just a legend. You’re able to change this in the Crown Tundra DLC by proving it exists outside the local folklore of Freezington! (There’s of course more to this, but like I said, we’d be here all day if I tried to go into more detail about the King and its MASSIVE NOGGIN.)

#pokemon #doodledex #calyrex #glastrier #spectrier #(tagging those two because they're here too) #that 'MASSIVE NOGGIN' bit is tribute to the guy ever peony #i finally got around to finishing the dlc while working on calyrex #(which took a while due to a bunch of untimely internet-related delays.... this year's the worst its ever been) #and i love peony so much. he's so stupid #the man sees a hunk of wood (that is actually the crown of calyrex's statue) and decides it would make a nice pillow #let me repeat that. he didn't have a pillow. saw a big bulbous HUNK OF WOOD. and thought 'welp there's my pillow problem solved' #i love this fool. i'm also glad his role in the calyrex plotline is to be its mouthpiece #the poor guy never remembers that a grass/psychic legendary just. hijacks his body to speak through him. multiple times
