I think the reason why Calyrex glows blue instead of red when dynamaxed is because unlike other Pokémon Calyrex is using its own power instead of absorbing the power of Eternatus. I even states in the game that when Calyrex uses its power it glows blue.

[Ryodraco]

One thing about the huge dead tree is that it is mentioned in one of the stone records to have been a sapling when that built Calyrex' dwelling place around it. Thus it's huge size in the present serves the function of showing how much time has passed, and it being dead could signify how Calyrex has lost most of its powers.

As for the Dyna Tree, it's noted that the Galarian birds gather at it, and Moltres is shown eating from it, the implication being it has something to do with why the Galarian forms developed.

[naeshaunedwards]

A question that I have is if Calyrex has any relation to Zacian and Zamazenta like we’re they Calyrex’s best warriors, or did he send them to battle Zamazenta, or were they his Sword and Shield, or do they not even have a connection to each other at all. Zacian and Zamazenta are said to be the champions of Galar, so I would think they have some connection to him?

I really wish GF would stop scrapping their ideas they always make an interesting topics only to drop them completely and move half of it to the next game and ruin it. I’m really enjoying the crown tundra and wanna learn more especially about Calyrex he’s my favorite legendary in this expansion.

[chrisjohnsen]

The tree's significance was likely exaggerated by fans, tbh. They never seemed like anything more than backdrops for legendary encounters to me, and sure enough that's what they ended up being.

My main thought regarding this is that both trees were Dyna Trees in the past, but as Calyrex's power waned and the cold crept back to the area, the one on the mountain died while the other has only survived due to being farther away from the cold. Maybe some wishing stars fell there which made the trees massive, I dunno.

Calyrex's dynamax color is most likely related to blue blood which was what it was said that kings in Europe had. It makes a bit of sense because it is the high king pokemon. But this is just observation.

[Diamond_Aura]

I have to wonder if the Dyna Tree has something to do with the reason the birds are Galarian in the first place. We see them (well, Moltres, at least) eating the giant fruit, and the Dynamax Greedent is there too... perhaps the fruit has transformative properties? It would affect different Pokémon differently it seems, but it would be interesting

[JJono_]

Fun fact: The Dyna tree is a literal dynamax version of the berry trees you can shake for berries and apricorns, it is the same model but tweaked a bit.

[hintamagaming]

The blue aura is a reference to how in the old times peasants believed that those of royalty are those with blue blood. We can also take this to be that Calyrex refused to allow the darkness of Eternatus to corrupt it's royal line.

[kyethememer]

About Victini, my assumption is that it was originally planned to be obtainable but was scrapped later on and the code was just left in the game, similarly to Mega Latias and Mega Latios in Pokemon X and Y.

[sophiecooke]

I have so many questions in general but the Crown Tundra and Isle of Armour are epic

[WhyfallinLUVwhenUcanfallasleep]

I don’t know about the English version but in the French one it is sort of implied that the birds may not be the same as those from Kanto.

[iwanek]

I think that Game Freak got too ambitious when making the Crown tundra and they basically had to scrap most of the story either due to incompetence or Covid-19.

[a-bomb]

Calyrex glows blue, because it produces its own Dynamax energy instead of using Eternatus's it says on Bulbapedia.

[ant]

WAIT the dates could mean something. This could be a nod to the next games like the tiki staue was

[hogunthegrim]

According to Bulbapedia, Calyrex produces its own Dynamax energy instead of using energy from Eternatus. Hence why it has a blue aura over the standard red aura

[danteswildlife]

Also I think the two trees are inspired by “Yggdrasil” the life tree from Norse mythology. In images I’ve seen the “Yggdrasil” is made up of two parts the lower branches and trunk, and the higher branches. In the lower part the branches are barren and holdup Asgard just like the sacred sapling and the shrine build around it. And when it comes to the upper part the tree is lush and supplies life to all who live underneath it, just like the dyna tree which supplies the Pokémon that lived under it fresh fruit.

[FlowerSunAndRainEnjoyer]

Also is it just me, or is nobody talking about why Ghetsis's eyepiece and Lysandre's shades are just randomly given to you by Peonia in game with no lore or context?

[tales.noheads]

Peony's wife shown in his rare league card years ago may imply that she sadly passed away since.
