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. Zygarde can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
