White Flare set binder is where a full White Flare set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Keldeo can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mythical Pokémon, from Sword & Shield on and Swords of Justice. I still need this card.
