I keep a set binder for Plasma Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Plasma Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Magnemite can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone. I still need this card.
