I keep a set binder for Guardians Rising, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Guardians Rising set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gothitelle can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
