Spectrier is an Ghost-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Eighth Pokémon generation in The Crown Tundra.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Spectrier can fuse with Calyrex using the Reins of Unity to become Shadow Rider Calyrex.

Physiology and Behavior

Spectrier is an equine Pokémon with black fur and a purple marking covering the right side of its face extending to the back of its ears. Its left eye is closed with thick, mauve-colored eyelashes. Its purple mane is wavy, with the tips of its mane transitioning to mauve, while a fringe and its tail are completely mauve. It has slender legs marked with a purple sock pattern. Each of its purple hooves is detached from its legs at the pastern, and the rear pair of hooves are trailed by spectral mist.

As Spectrier desires isolation and silence, it tends to be active during the night where its energy is heightened. Its nocturnal habits resulted in it having weak eyesight, but its other four senses are keenly sharpened; this allows Spectrier to have an accurate sense of the terrain and location of living things. Its kicks are said to separate a soul from its body, and it can steal the life force of sleeping beings. It feeds on the ambient life-force it steals from others and will attack anyone who would try to disturb it.

Spectrier is known to be very proud and arrogant, preferring to serve individuals it deems the strongest. It once ruled over the Crown Tundra as the lord of all Pokémon. Spectrier was known to terrorize the Crown Tundra for a time due to humans invading its territory; this lasted until it was defeated and tamed by Calyrex. It has a fondness for carrots, particularly Shaderoot Carrots.

When fused with Calyrex, Spectrier's speed becomes swift to the point it can run a thousand miles within a single day. The strength of Spectrier's spectral power also increases. By Shadow Rider Calyrex's psychic influence, Spectrier can create countless small will-o'-the-wisps. These wisps have the power to steal the opponent's life-force with burning heat. Calyrex can also transform the steed's spectral aura into a black mass. This mass is powerful enough to absorb the life-force and souls of any being's energy like a black hole.
