Calyrex (Japanese: バドレックス Budrex). #898 in the National Pokédex, classified as the King Pokémon. It is a Psychic/Grass Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII: Pokémon Sword and Shield.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, Calyrex has two other forms, which can be changed using the Reins of Unity and fusing it with either the Pokémon Glastrier or Spectrier. These forms are known as Ice Rider Calyrex and Shadow Rider Clyrex respectively.

Calyrex is a bipedal Pokémon with legs approximately twice as long as its torso. Four prongs grow from its head to support a green bud resembling a type of crown, much larger than its head. A ring of green spheres, marked with an inlaid series of blue and white triangles, adorns its neck. When it's in Ice Rider/Shadow Rider form using the Reins of Unity, the green fur on its arms and back extends to resemble a white and green cape. The crown-like bud on Calyrex's head glows bright green when it is using its powers.

Calyrex is said to have ruled Galar in ancient times as a merciful king. Despite its delicate and slight appearance, it can move with grace and dignity. It is known to be highly intelligent; it is one of the few Pokémon able to fluently speak the human language. It also has the power to see the past, present, and future of any kind.[1] One legend said Calyrex used its foresight ability to save creatures of a forest from a meteor one time. One fairy tale even mentions Calyrex stealing the body of a human that causes mischief. Calyrex has the ability to take control of a human's body in order to communicate and speak telepathically when at full power.

It has been referred to as the "King of Bountiful Harvests" due to its role in bringing lush vegetation and harvests yearly. Calyrex's right hand can cause the land to be covered in verdant grass and blooms. The left hand of Calyrex allows it to make the fields of fruit become ripen and heavy. Calyrex can create the Iceroot Carrots/Shaderoot Carrots depending on a field where the Carrot Seeds are planted with a special dance. Calyrex can also create the Radiant Petal needed for the Reins of Unity. It can provide healings or blessings such as mending the heart. While it show no mercy to those that stand in its way, it will heal the wounds of a foe afterwards. Calyrex is powerful enough to move an entire forest and its Pokémon to a new location.

When riding either Glastrier or Spectrier, it ran all over Galar to bring green within the region's wastelands. Calyrex also has the power to tame either of the duo using the Reins of Unity and combined with it. This allows Calyrex to be at its full power only when fused to Glastrier or Spectrier. Calyrex gets its powers from the faith of the people who worship it, and slowly loses its power if people start forgetting it and should Glastrier or Spectrier abandon it.

Calyrex is the only known Pokémon capable of using the moves, Glacial Lance and Astral Barrage.
