I keep a set binder for Champion's Path, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Champion's Path set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cursola can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galarian forms. I still need this card.
