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. Ponyta can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galarian forms and Saya Tsuruta cards. I still need this card.
