I keep a set binder for Sword & Shield, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sword & Shield set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zigzagoon can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galarian forms. I still need this card.
