I keep a set binder for Ascended Heroes, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Ascended Heroes set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Darmanitan can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon and N and his Pokémon. I still need this card.
