I keep a set binder for Base Set 2, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Base Set 2 set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lickitung can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
