I keep a set binder for Chilling Reign, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Chilling Reign set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Shaymin can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mythical Pokémon, from Sword & Shield on and Flower Pokémon. I still need this card.
