Spectrier’s ability on the other hand is quite similar! It is called Grim Neigh, and if it knocks out a Pokemon, it will also let out a neigh, but will gain Special Attack instead of Physical Attack. Here’s the leaked description:
When the Pokémon knocks out a target, it utters a terrifying neigh, which boosts its Sp. Atk stat.
As for Calyrex, it is a pretty interesting Pokemon. It has been revealed before, but some additional details are now available for it. The ability it will get is Unnerve, which is a fairly common ability that many other Pokemon have. It makes the opposing Pokemon nervous and unable to eat Berries. As for in-game descriptions, here’s what is said about it:
Calyrex has the ability to merge with both Glastrier or Spectrier. Once that happens, it will turn into a new Pokemon depending on which you merged with. One is Calyrex (Ice Rider) and the other is Calyrex (Shadow Rider). Once you merge the two, you will get two abilities, you will get the horse’s ability as well as Unnerve from Calyrex.
Here are the descriptions for Calyrex (Ice Rider):
