I keep a set binder for Twilight Masquerade, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Twilight Masquerade set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Drakloak can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are Halloween: Ghost Pokémon, Dragon-type cards, and Pseudo-legendary lines. I still need this card.
