XY Black Star Promos set binder is where a full XY Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Empoleon can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Sinnoh starters and BREAK Evolution. I still need this card.
