I keep a set binder for Obsidian Flames, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Obsidian Flames set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Koraidon can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Paradox Pokémon and Box-art legendaries. I still need this card.
