I keep a set binder for Prismatic Evolutions, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Prismatic Evolutions set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Slowpoke can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Pink Pokémon and Slowpoke, Slowbro, and Slowking. I still need this card.
