I keep a set binder for Temporal Forces, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Temporal Forces set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Farigiraf can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Tera Pokémon. I still need this card.
