Twilight Masquerade set binder is where a full Twilight Masquerade set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Darumaka can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Fire Basic Pokémon. I still need this card.
