Shining Fates Shiny Vault set binder is where a full Shining Fates Shiny Vault set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Darmanitan can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galarian forms. I still need this card.
