Fusion Strike set binder is where a full Fusion Strike set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Meowth can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galarian forms and Meowth, Persian, and Perrserker. I still need this card.
