Biology

Calyrex is an arctic hare-resemblant Legendary Pokémon sporting a large, bulbous crown-like growth on its head. It was once a ruler of Galar who reigned during ancient times. Calyrex is a very intelligent Pokémon who has the ability to envision the events of all three phases of time: Past, Present and Future.

Calyrex is merciful, bestowing healing and blessings, and also provides the growth of crops, which is why it is also known as the King of Bountiful Harvests. Should it choose to communicate with humans, Calyrex can take over one's body and use it to speak the human language.
