Dragon Frontiers set binder is where a full Dragon Frontiers set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Shelgon can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards. I still need this card.
