Calyrex

When Calyrex cards were first introduced in the TCG, they absolutely dominated the meta with decks revolving around Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX and Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX.

Unlike traditional legendaries that just make their introductions in a main game, Calyrex starred in The Crown Tundra, a Sword & Shield DLC expansion where it had the reputation of being a powerful yet merciful Pokémon.

Back in the day, Calyrex was the "King of Bountiful Harvests" and ruled over Galar on horseback. However, because Calyrex depended on the people's faith, over time, it became forgotten and lost its power. It is the player's job to restore the King to its former glory, and they get to decide which horse the King reunites with, resulting in two different forms:

When Calyrex mounts Glastrier, it becomes Ice Rider Calyrex, a dual-type Psychic/Ice.

When Calyrex mounts Spectrier, it becomes Shadow Rider Calyrex, a Psychic/Ghost type.

For collectors, there are many amazing Calyrex cards in both forms. Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX Alt Art is a visual masterpiece, fetching premium prices among collectors. There are also many cheaper options that look incredible, such as Ice Rider Calyrex V #TG14. Feel free to check out the Cherry collection to see if any catches your eye!
