Astral Radiance set binder is where a full Astral Radiance set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Avalugg can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Hisuian and Paldean forms. I still need this card.
