Team Magma vs Team Aqua set binder is where a full Team Magma vs Team Aqua set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Poochyena can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon and Team Aqua and Team Magma. I still need this card.
