SWSH Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SWSH Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Perrserker can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). Themed lists that include this exact card are Galarian forms and Meowth, Persian, and Perrserker. I still need this card.
