I keep a set binder for Scarlet & Violet, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Scarlet & Violet set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Arboliva can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Modern living dex: Paldea. I still need this card.
