I keep a set binder for Lost Thunder, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Lost Thunder set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Hitmontop can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are sowsow cards. I still need this card.
