I keep a set binder for Crown Zenith, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crown Zenith set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Volcanion can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mythical Pokémon, from Sword & Shield on. I still need this card.
