I keep a set binder for Platinum, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Platinum set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Prinplup can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
