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. Iron Treads can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Paradox Pokémon and Special Illustration Rares. I still need this card.
