I keep a set binder for Fusion Strike, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Fusion Strike set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Greninja can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Kalos starters and Froakie, Frogadier, and Greninja. I still need this card.
