It reduces damage from opponent attacks by 10 before weakness or resistance calculations.

What it does

Shield Energy

This card can only be attached to Metal Pokémon. This card provides Metal Energy only while this card is attached to a Metal Pokémon. The attacks of your opponent's Pokémon do 10 less damage to the Metal Pokémon this card is attached to (before applying Weakness and Resistance). (If this card is attached to anything other than a Metal Pokémon, discard this card.)

Shield Energy acts as a protective shield for your Metal Pokemon. It lowers the incoming damage by ten points, making your Pokemon harder to defeat in battle.
