Here is a description of the Crown Thundra expansion taken from Nintendo.
The second area unlocked by the Expansion Pass is the snow-swept realm of the Crown Tundra. In this frigid yet beautiful landscape – with its jagged winter mountains and shining, silvery landscape – people live in small communities where they support and rely on one another. A man named Peony will appoint the player as the leader of his exploration team in the Crown Tundra and task them with investigating the reaches of this frozen land. Players will also be able to explore the depths of the Pokémon Dens seen during Max Raid Battles. What’s more, it seems several previously unseen Legendary Pokémon make the Crown Tundra their home.
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are available now for the Nintendo Switch.
