I keep a set binder for BREAKthrough, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the BREAKthrough set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Noivern can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
