I keep a set binder for Holon Phantoms, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Holon Phantoms set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vileplume can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards and Delta Species cards. I still need this card.
