What this card does

Dialga GX draws cards until you have six in your hand to ensure you have enough resources.

Its Shred attack deals 80 damage that ignores any protective effects on the opponent's active Pokemon.

Its Timeless GX attack deals 150 damage and allows you to take another turn immediately.

Signature attack

Timeless GX

Take another turn after this one. (Skip the between-turns step.) (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) (150 damage)

The key feature is the Timeless GX attack. It lets you go again after attacking, which can be devastating for your child's opponent if they cannot handle the extra pressure.
