Biology

Drednaw is resemblant of the alligator snapping turtle. It is a slow species of Pokémon, but is known for its immense biting power. They are particularly stubborn and hard to raise, resulting in inexperienced trainers releasing them after capture.

Forms

Gigantamax Drednaw

WaterRock
BST 485

Gigantamax Drednaw grows to more than 24 m (79 ft) in height and becomes bipedal, using its massive body to crush opponents. By rapidly extending its neck, it can punch holes in large metal structures and mountains.

Its torso and the horn on its head become larger, and its tail is longer and covered in more spikes. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Stonesurge.
