I keep a set binder for SM Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the SM Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Togedemaru can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). Themed lists that include this exact card are Pikachu's friends. I still need this card.
