I keep a set binder for Obsidian Flames, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Obsidian Flames set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vespiquen can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Bug Pokémon and Tera Pokémon. I still need this card.
