Scarlet & Violet set binder is where a full Scarlet & Violet set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Koraidon can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Paradox Pokémon and Box-art legendaries. I still need this card.
