About Rayquaza
Rayquaza cards frequently show sky, clouds and weather. That gives pages a calm blue-green overall look that suits a collector who likes dragons.

How to plan a Rayquaza binder
At nine pockets per page, all 55 cards would fill about 7 pages. For a gift that is far too much: a single page of nine different designs looks finished at once, and the collection can be extended later.
Mega Rayquaza and Rayquaza ex cards carry the name in the title and therefore appear in the same binder.
Which binder size fits is covered in the Pokémon binders: which size and how many pockets?.
