Riolu (Japanese: リオル Riolu) is a Fighting-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Lucario when leveled up with high friendship during the day.

Biology

Riolu is a small, blue, canine Pokémon. It has a black torso and legs, a blue tail, and a yellow collar. It has rounded bumps on the backs of its forepaws. It has a black "mask" and red eyes. It stands on its toes instead of its entire foot. It is sensitive to a special type of energy called Aura; however, It does not have the ability to fully use these powers, although it can still emanate these waves to communicate and sense them, albeit only in ripples. It has developed two black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when Riolu reads or manipulates aura, a special energy that it senses. Like almost all Fighting-type Pokémon, Riolu naturally has superhuman strength, stamina, and endurance and is capable of making long journeys on foot in a short amount of time. It is a playful, energetic, and loyal Pokémon.

Trophy information

"An Emanation Pokémon. It constantly emits Aura energy. When it's frightened or sad, this energy grows stronger and informs its companions of its situation. It's known for its very flexible yet surpassingly powerful body. Thanks to its strength, it can crest three mountains and cross two canyons in a single night. When it levels up, it evolves into Lucario."

Ultra Sun It knows how people and Pokémon feel by looking at their auras. It doesn't approach dangerous opponents.
Ultra Moon It uses waves called auras to communicate with others of its kind. It doesn't make any noise during this time, so its enemies can't detect it.

Trivia

  • Due to Riolu's combination of Abilities, Steadfast can only activate in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky if Riolu becomes cross-eyed, barring being confronted with a foe that has Mold Breaker.
  • When Riolu became a starter in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky it became the first starter Pokémon to be unable to be recruited or captured in another game of its trio as it cannot be found in Explorers of Darkness without using Wonder Mail.
  • Riolu is the only baby Pokémon that evolves into a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.

Origin

Riolu appears to be similar to the Egyptian fake creature Anubis, who has the head of a jackal. It may also be based on a raccoon due to the mask-like markings on its face and its small pointed ears.

Name origin

Riolu is Lucario with the first and last syllables reversed and the ca omitted.
