It reduces incoming damage by 30 points from most attacks.

It uses G-Max Headbutt to deal 160 or more damage depending on a coin flip.

Signature ability

Solid Shell

This Pokémon takes 30 less damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

The Solid Shell ability lowers all damage taken by 30. This makes the card much harder for opponents to knock out quickly. The G-Max Headbutt attack can do huge damage if the coin flip lands on heads.

From the Pokédex

Drednaw has a powerful jaw that can crush steel beams like they are twigs.

Note for the parent

The 30 point damage reduction only applies after weakness and resistance are calculated, so it does not stop one hit kills from strong attacks.
