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. Blaziken can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Hoenn starters, VMAX cards, and Rapid Strike. I still need this card.
