I keep a set binder for Surging Sparks, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Surging Sparks set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Exeggutor can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Dragon-type cards, Alolan forms, Special Illustration Rares, and Tera Pokémon. I still need this card.
