A frozen wilderness of jagged, snow-covered peaks at the edge of the Galar region, the Crown Tundra is home to a small close-knit settlement and an unusual number of Legendary Pokémon. Shortly after the player arrives, an explorer named Peony appoints them leader of his expedition team and tasks them with investigating the region's most remote reaches—including the interior of a Pokémon Den, a place previously only glimpsed during Max Raid Battles.
