I keep a set binder for Battle Styles, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Battle Styles set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Urshifu can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are VMAX cards and Single Strike. I still need this card.
