I keep a set binder for Paldea Evolved, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Paldea Evolved set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Quaquaval can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Paldea starters. I still need this card.
