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. Xerneas can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Box-art legendaries. I still need this card.
