I keep a set binder for Paradox Rift, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Paradox Rift set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golisopod can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). Themed lists that include this exact card are Bug Pokémon and Special Illustration Rares. I still need this card.
