I keep a set binder for Phantom Forces, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Phantom Forces set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dialga can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. I still need this card.
