I keep a set binder for Evolving Skies, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Evolving Skies set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lilligant can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Flower Pokémon. I still need this card.
