Special Ways to Get Calyrex (Shadow Rider)

As part of The Sacred Bonds of Sovereign and Steed quest in the Crown Tundra (DLC), you will need to reunite Calyrex with its steed and will have a choice to plant a bag of Carrot Seeds Carrot Seeds in one of two areas. If you choose to plant them in the Old Cemetery, at the conclusion of the quest, you will be able to catch Calyrex (Shadow Rider), which you can defuse (and re-fuse) using the Reins of Unity Reins of Unity on Calyrex (you get this item during the quest). (You will need to trade with another game in order to get Glastrier).

This is the result of using the Reins of Unity Reins of Unity on Calyrex and Spectrier. You can separate this fusion by using the item on Calyrex (Shadow Rider) outside of battle.
