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. Mew can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mew and Mewtwo and Mythical Pokémon, from Sword & Shield on. I still need this card.
