I keep a set binder for Surging Sparks, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Surging Sparks set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tauros can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Hisuian and Paldean forms. I still need this card.
