I keep a set binder for Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kricketune can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
