I keep a set binder for Darkness Ablaze, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Darkness Ablaze set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Stunfisk can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galarian forms. I still need this card.
