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. Tinkatuff can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Pink Pokémon. I still need this card.
