Ascended Heroes set binder is where a full Ascended Heroes set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Garchomp can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Cynthia and her Pokémon, and Pseudo-legendary lines. I still need this card.
