I keep a set binder for Paldean Fates, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Paldean Fates set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Scizor can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Bug Pokémon. I still need this card.
