Drednaw is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Drednaw (#834), generation 8 (Galar). The card says it evolves from Chewtle. In this catalog that name is Chewtle (#833).

Hitoshi Ariga illustrated this card. The same name is on 155 other cards in the catalog.

Drednaw (#834) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2019 to 2024. The earliest other card is Drednaw SWSH047/307 in SWSH Black Star Promos (2019). Both list 130 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Anesaki Dynamic illustrated that card, and Hitoshi Ariga illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Drednaw list a different HP.

The attack Vise Bite lists 60+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 more damage for each Colorless in your opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost. Jaw Lock is another attack lists 130 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon rapidly extends its retractable neck to sink its sharp fangs into distant enemies and take them down." The regulation mark is D.

I keep a set binder for Sword & Shield, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sword & Shield set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Drednaw can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). I still need this card.
