I keep a set binder for Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Turtwig can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Sinnoh starters and Trainer Gallery. I still need this card.
