Paldea Evolved set binder is where a full Paldea Evolved set goes. This card fills one slot there. 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 and Pseudo-legendary lines. I still need this card.
