Roaring Skies set binder is where a full Roaring Skies set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gallade can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, and Gallade. I still need this card.
