Delta Species set binder is where a full Delta Species set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dragonair can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards and Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite. I still need this card.
