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. Koffing can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon and Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon. I still need this card.
