I keep a set binder for Fusion Strike, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Fusion Strike set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Inteleon can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galar starters, VMAX cards, and Rapid Strike. I still need this card.
