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