The Crown Tundra, the second DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield, comes out on October 22. The DLC adds a new area to explore as well as more story elements and a heavy focus on Legendary Pokemon. This includes Galarian forms of Kanto's Legendary birds--Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres--as well as new Regis, a deer with a massive head named Calyrex, and basically every single Legendary Pokemon in the history of the series.

We recently saw half an hour of footage from The Crown Tundra, including hints about the story and a more in-depth look at the new Dynamax Adventures mode. Most of the Legendary Pokemon introduced to Sword and Shield through The Crown Tundra are found in this raid mode, while the Galarian birds and Calyrex seem to be tied to storylines instead. Here's everything we learned about the Legendaries and how you can get them.

Dynamax Adventures and Legendary Pokemon

As was previously revealed, the main way to catch Legendary Pokemon in The Crown Tundra is through the new Dynamax Adventures feature. During a Dynamax Adventure, you team up with up to three other players (or NPCs) to "enter" a Max Raid lair and battle a series of Pokemon before finally facing a Legendary. However, you aren't actually going into the lair the way you would a cave in previous Pokemon games; it's more of an overall map of the lair with branching pathways, and you can see what lies ahead. The strategy is in planning out which way you'll go so you can survive long enough to face the Legendary Pokemon at the end.
