Over the years, the Pokemon franchise has released a wide range of Pokemon with unique abilities and evolution techniques. While some like Hoopa have alternative forms, others like Eevee have eight different evolutions.

Pokemon Sword and Shield also allows you to separate Calyrex from Spectrier or Glastrier and here’s how to do so.

Why separate Calyrex from Glastrier or Spectrier in Pokemon Sword and Shield?
You cannot use the merged version of Calyrex in battles, which is one of the biggest reasons why it’s better to separate it from Glastrier or Spectrier. Although Calyrex is stronger when merged, you can still make the most of its Psychic powers.
Separation also allows trading Calyrex, Glastrier, and Spectrier individually. Here’s some information about them:
- Calyrex (separated) – Psychic-type
- Calyrex (with Glastrier) – Ice and Psychic-type
- Calyrex (with Spectrier) – Ghost and Psychic-type
- Glastrier – Ice-type
- Spectrier – Ghost-type
All in all, Calyrex is a great addition to your collection and you won’t regret its presence in any form. Moreover, the Reins of Unity makes it really easy to separate and combine it with Spectrier or Glastrier.
