As mentioned, Isle of Armor will release 17 June, so not too long now. Crown Tundra’s release date was previously mentioned to be Fall 2020, which seems to have some story revolving around the three Kanto-Galarian birds…

For Crown Tundra, Dynamax Adventure will see up to four Trainers (including yourself) venture into dens and possibly encounter Dynamax Pokemon. You’ll be able to catch them as usual, but you’d also be blown out if you lose!
