I keep a set binder for Destined Rivals, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Destined Rivals set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Skarmory can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Steven and his Pokémon, and Bird Pokémon. I still need this card.
