The flavor text reads "Barbaracle's legs and hands have minds of their own, and they will move independently. But they usually follow the head's orders."

I keep a set binder for Forbidden Light, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Forbidden Light set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Barbaracle can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). I still need this card.
