Darkness Ablaze set binder is where a full Darkness Ablaze set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Eternatus can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are Giant Pokémon and VMAX cards. I still need this card.
