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. Great Tusk can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards and Paradox Pokémon. I still need this card.
