I keep a set binder for XY Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the XY Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Snorlax can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Snorlax and Munchlax. I still need this card.
