I keep a set binder for Gym Challenge, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Gym Challenge set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Clefairy can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Atsuko Nishida cards, early series, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, Erika and her Pokémon, and Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable. I still need this card.
