I keep a set binder for Black Bolt, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Black Bolt set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Escavalier can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Bug Pokémon. I still need this card.
