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. Frigibax can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Winter: Ice Pokémon, Modern living dex: Paldea, and Pseudo-legendary lines. I still need this card.
