I keep a set binder for Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tatsugiri can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). Themed lists that include this exact card are Dragon-type cards, Pink Pokémon, and Modern living dex: Paldea. I still need this card.
