Crystal Guardians set binder is where a full Crystal Guardians set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Grovyle can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards and Hoenn starters. I still need this card.
