SM Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SM Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Decidueye can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). Themed lists that include this exact card are Alola starters. I still need this card.
