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