Silver Tempest set binder is where a full Silver Tempest set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Krokorok can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Night and moon Pokémon. I still need this card.
