I also ran rm core.db after this as suggested. Should I try sudo pacman -Syyu again?
I didn’t know I was supposed to validate it. What does this even mean xD
It flashed onto my usb well enough. I plugged it in and it does what it normally does in any fresh installation.
~ sudo pacman -Syyu ✔

core.db failed to download

please go to the graphical package manager, at the top right are the options, open them and do a database-update from there. after this your update should run (had the same issues some time ago and it was necessary to update the database of the gui-package-manager)
