I keep a set binder for Paldean Fates, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Paldean Fates set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tauros can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Hisuian and Paldean forms and Fire Basic Pokémon. I still need this card.
