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. Urshifu can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are Rapid Strike. I still need this card.
