The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Forbidden Light set binder is where a full Forbidden Light set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Yveltal can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). I still need this card.
