Arceus set binder is where a full Arceus set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Haunter can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Gengar and the Gastly line and Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
