===Undated history===
* At some point, the Crown Tundra was a barren and uninhabitable land, but still, somehow a few humans were able to live there.
* One day, Calyrex was found by the group of humans in the Crown Tundra, the Pokémon was heavily injured, but after gaining its trust, the humans took care of it and healed it back to its full strength, it emitted a dazzling, blue light. In gratitude for the humans, Calyrex used its powers to turn the frozen Tundra they lived in, into a habitable land filled with lush and rich soil, which would be named the Crown Plains. This allowed the people to thrive successfully there. Since then, the Crown Tundra's people started worshiping Calyrex and referring to it as the Crown Tundra's king, Calyrex then gained the titled of "The King of Bountiful Harvests".
* At some point, Calyrex saved its worshipers once again, this time from a ruffian, known as the Crown Tundra's lord, / that terrorized the Crown Tundra, before it was defeated and conquered by the King Pokémon, forcing it to become Calyrex's steed.
* This caused Calyrex's worshipers to start a tradition giving it an offering each year, these being Reins of Unity, crafted using a Radiant Flower and a mane hair of its steed, Black Mane Hair/White Mane Hair, bonding Calyrex to them.
* At some point, the humans built the Crown Shrine, giving both Calyrex and Glastrier/Spectrier a home.
* Many years after that, humans started to slowly forget about Calyrex, greatly weakening it as its powers are dependent on its worshiper's faith on it. As Calyrex kept growing weaker, its steed eventually abandoned it, leaving the king with a mere fraction of its power. Eventually Calyrex was only seen as legends and fairy tales by the inhabitants of Freezington.
