Phantasmal Flames set binder is where a full Phantasmal Flames set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Genesect can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
