I keep a set binder for 151, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the 151 set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tentacruel can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Modern living dex: the 151. I still need this card.
