I keep a set binder for Delta Species, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Delta Species set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pupitar can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards. I still need this card.
