You can go to the Crown Tundra in Pokémon Sword and Shield as soon as you’ve purchased the Expansion Pass, which includes both the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs, and have received the tickets to travel to these areas, with no requirement to complete the main game or Isle of Armor first. The Crown Tundra offers a vast, icy landscape to explore, filled with Legendary Pokémon, including the ability to catch level 60 Pokémon after obtaining all 8 Gym Badges.

FAQs About the Crown Tundra

General Information

  1. Do I need to finish the Isle of Armor before the Crown Tundra? Whilst it is impossible to purchase only one DLC (they come together as a package), you can visit the Crown Tundra and do the things out there without ever going to the Isle Of Armor.
  2. Can you go to the Crown Tundra early in the game? Yes, you can access the Crown Tundra fairly early on, as long as you’ve purchased the Expansion Pass and have a fully updated game, which should provide you with tickets to travel to both the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra.
  3. What level should I be for the Crown Tundra? While The Isle of Armor scales to your level, The Crown Tundra has fixed levels in the 65-70 range.

Legendary Pokémon and DLC Content

  1. Which is better, the Crown Tundra or the Isle of Armor? Most areas of the Isle of Armor are visually appealing, but overall, the Crown Tundra offers a unique Legendary Pokémon hunting experience, making it the better DLC for many players.
  2. Can you catch all 5 Regis in the Crown Tundra? To be able to catch every Regi in The Crown Tundra, trainers will need to activate the side story, “The Terrible Titans…. Lurking Locked Away” and complete the tasks associated with each of the four temples scattered around The Crown Tundra.
  3. What does the Crown Tundra give you? With The Crown Tundra, you’ll be able to encounter every Legendary Pokémon that’s appeared in the main series of Pokémon games, offering a chance to catch them and complete your Pokédex.

Pokémon Catching and Levels

  1. When can you catch level 60 Pokémon in Sword? You won’t unlock the top tier, level 60 Pokémon, until getting all your 8 Gym Badges, allowing you to catch the strongest Pokémon available.
  2. How many times can you catch a Legendary in the Crown Tundra? Once you’ve caught a Legendary Pokémon, you can’t catch another one of the same species, even if you encounter it a second time in the Max Lair.
  3. Which Regi is better in the Crown Tundra? For as good as Regidrago might look on paper, Regieleki is better, with a 200 base Speed stat, making it the fastest Pokémon in the game.

Game Progression and Rewards

  3. Is the Isle of Armor worth it? Yes, it offers a nice change of pace and a larger world to explore, with the expansion not changing the experience in any significant ways but providing a fresh area to discover.

Rivals and Legendaries

  1. Who is the rival in the Isle of Armor? Your new rival for the Isle of Armor DLC is dependent on which version of the game you have, with Klara for Pokémon Sword and Avery for Pokémon Shield.
